Signs?

Long ago I promised myself I'd never be so comfortable that I'd pass up a penny on the ground.
In New York on the way to the subway to visit the 9-11 memorial, in light rain, I saw a penny on the wet sidewalk. I stooped and pocketed it.
Only later when I took a look did I see the date...
1947. The year of my birth.
It's a keeper.

And I'll share a ditty one of my former helo students shared with me...
"See a penny? Pick it up. All day long-
You'll have a penny!" 
:)

Penny saved=penny earned... My dad taught me that at about age 5!

Our church collects change for missionaries monthly.
My friend looked fr change on the ground "religiously".
$2-$3 a month.
