Pennies have always been special to me. I regret to hear the US Treasury is planning to discontinue the lowly penny. It may not seem to hold monetary value, but I've come to see the penny is rich in bringing a message of hope to trust in God. It's fun to spread messages of hope. Sometimes I'm guided to toss a penny here and there as I go about my day. To find a penny is a heavenly sign from the angels that everything is in divine order--so try not to worry. It will all work out...eventually. Keep the prayers going.
I fondly recall a time in 1999 at the Association for Research & Enlightenment (A.R.E.) in Virginia Beach. I was up in the beautiful meditation room on the top floor enjoying an expansive view of the ocean. While sitting alone that day, I closed my eyes in meditation, and asked for clarity about my life's purpose.
A healing energy is always present in that special place. Nothing significant came to mind, but I had a feeling of peace. Afterwards, I opened my eyes. Looking out the panoramic window at the roof garden terrace, I was grateful to be there. Tall graceful angel statues, lush green vines, large garden rocks, and the beautiful ocean view were a touch of heaven on earth. On a whim, in the empty room where I sat alone, I spoke out loud, "God, if I see a penny out there, I'll know You really are listening to me."

Gazing out the window, my eyes scanned the garden terrace in hopes of seeing a penny. But there wasn't one. It didn't seem very likely anyway...
But, to my surprise, a thought came. Leave a penny for someone else. When I tried to open the balcony door to place my penny on the roof terrace, the door was locked. So much for my plan...
As I turned around to go back to my chair, I couldn't believe my eyes. In the row behind my seat where I'd been praying, I saw a shiny penny on the chair cushion. "Thank you, God!" I grinned, cherishing the little penny now in my hand.
In that incredible moment, the veil seemed thin. The angels were close by. Feeling much lighter, I decided to look at the open Bible displayed on the table in the meditation room. I hoped the weekly highlighted scripture would add insight. The Bible was opened to Psalm 92.
And, I read these words out loud: "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord and to sing praises unto thy name, O most high. To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night. "

I was grateful for the message. God is ever present and to give thanks to God for Life is a most worthy purpose. Everything will unfold at the right time according to His plan. Everything is in divine order. The best is yet to be.
Wishing you a day filled with peace and angelic blessings.
