The Lost Coin

Pennies1a

"A woman has ten valuable silver coins and loses one. Won't she light a lamp and look in every corner of the house and sweep every nook and cranny until she finds it? And then won't she call in her friends and neighbors to rejoice with her? In the same way there is joy in the presence of the angels of God when one sinner repents."
(Luke 15: 8-10 The Living Bible)


Remember this every time you pass that little
penny in the parking lot.

I always thought that it was for Good Luck,
but I love this version better:


I found a penny today
Just laying on the ground.
But it's not just a penny,
this little coin I've found.


Found pennies come from heaven,
that's what my Grandpa told me.
He said Angels toss them down.
Oh, how I loved that story.

He said when an Angel misses you,
they toss a penny down.
Sometimes just to cheer you up,
to make a smile out of your frown.
So, don't pass by that penny,
when you're feeling blue.
It may be a penny from heaven,
that an Angel's tossed to you.

So now pass this on to the people
who you care about and who you
feel are Angels to you,
I just did.
An Angel is now watching over you !
