my friend allison was delighted when a wealthy buisness friend invited her and her husband to dinner at an elegant restaurant one evening.nearing the restaurand, her friend suddenly stopped and picked up a grubby penny from the sidewalk. he held it up and smiled, then slipped it into his pocket , as if he had found great treasure how absurd!
wgat did this man want with a dirty old penny? throughout the evening, the thought nagged her. finally, she could stand it no longer. casually, she mention that her brother had a con collection and asked if the penny he had found was of value. again her friend smiled, drew the coin from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Look," he said. "Read what it says"
"United States of America."
"no not that. Read further"
"one cent"
"no turn it over"
"in god we trust"
"yes if i trust in god the name of god is holy even on a coin. that inscription is embossed on every united states coin, yet we seldom notice it. when God drops a message right in front of me, reminding me to trust in him, who am i to pass it by i cherish that coin as a reminder from god"
"the lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my god, my strenght, in whome i will trust...."Psalm 18:2 a
