Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

The Penny
You always hear the usual stories of pennies on the sidewalk being good luck, gifts from angels, etc. This is the first time I've ever heard this twist on the story. Gives you something to think about.
Several years ago, a friend of mine and her husband were invited to spend the weekend at the husband's employer's home. My friend was nervous about the weekend. The boss was very wealthy, with a fine home on the waterway, and cars costing more than her house.
The first day and evening went well, and my friend was delighted to have this rare glimpse into how the very wealthy live. The husband's employer was quite generous as a host, and took them to the finest restaurants. My friend knew she would never have the opportunity to indulge in this kind of extravagance again, so was enjoying herself immensely.
As the three of them were about to enter an exclusive restaurant that evening, the boss was walking slightly ahead of my friend and her husband. He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement for a long, silent moment.
My friend wondered if she was supposed to pass him. There was nothing on the ground except a single darkened penny that someone had dropped, and a few cigarette butts. Still silent, the man reached down and picked up the penny.
He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket as if he had found a great treasure. How absurd! What need did this man have for a single penny? Why would he even take the time to stop and pick it up?
Throughout dinner, the entire scene nagged at her. Finally, she could stand it no longer. She casually mentioned that her daughter once had a coin collection, and asked if the penny he had found had been of some value.
A smile crept across the man's face as he reached into his pocket for the penny and held it out for her to see. She had seen many pennies before! What was the point of this?
"Look at it." He said. "Read what it says." She read the words "United States of America"
"No, not that; read further."
"One cent?" "No, keep reading."
"In God we Trust?" "Yes!" "And?"
"And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even on a coin. Whenever I find a coin I see that inscription. It is written on every single United State s coin, but we never seem to notice it! God drops a message right in front of me telling me to trust Him? Who am I to pass it by? When I see a coin, I pray, I stop to see if my trust IS in God at that moment. I pick the coin up as a response ! to God; that I do trust in Him. For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if it were gold. I think it is God's way of starting a conversation with me. Lucky for me, God is patient and pennies are plentiful!
When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on the sidewalk. I stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had been worrying and fretting in my mind about things I cannot change. I read the words, "In God We Trust," and had to laugh. Yes, God, I get the message.
It seems that I have been finding an inordinate number of pennies in the last few months, but then, pennies are plentiful!
And, God is patient...
Have a blessed day!!

Pray you are well and the appointment with the new pain management folks goes well tomorrow. While some things change, hope, love and understanding never do. Friendship endures.
I'm blessed to call you friend.

A body builder picks up a blonde at a bar and takes her home with him. He takes off his shirt and the blonde says, "What a great chest you have." The body builder tells her, "That's 100 lb. of dynamite baby." He takes off his pants and the blonde says, "What massive calves you have." The body builder tells her, "That's 100 lb. of dynamite baby." He then removes his underwear and the blonde goes running out of the apartment screaming in fear. The body builder puts his clothes back on and chases after her. He catches up to her and asks why she ran out of the apartment like that. The blonde replies, "I was afraid to be around all that dynamite after I saw how short the fuse was."

A Green Bay fan used to amuse himself by scareing every Vikings fan he would see strutting down the side of the road in their obnoxious purple and
gold colors. He would swerve his van as if to hit them, and then he would swerve back on the road just before hitting them.
One day, as the van driver was driving along, he saw a priest. He thought he would do a good turn and pulled the van over. He asked the priest, "Where are you going Father?" "I'm going to give mass at St Joseph's church, about five miles down the road," replied the priest. "No problem, Father! I'll give you a lift. Climb in!"
The priest climbed into the passenger seat, and the van continued down the road. Suddenly, the driver saw a Minnesota fan walking down the road,
and instinctively, he swerved as if to hit him. But as usual, just in time, he swerved back to the road, narrowly missing the guy.
Even though he was certain he missed the guy, he still heard a loud "THUD". Not understanding where the noise came from, he glanced in the mirrors, but he didn't see anything.
Then he remembered the priest, and he turned to the priest and said, "I'm sorry Father, I almost hit that Vikings fan."
"That's okay", replied the priest, "I got him with the door."
