A Penny from Heaven: An Angel Message

 Yesterday at the lake, I almost missed it. A glint of shiny copper, among the fallen brown leaves in the grass, caught my eye.    An angel nudged, take a closer look. I was glad I listened.  

A penny!  Warmed by the sun, such a deliberate find seemed too good to be true. 

2014, the date on the lost penny was significant. The year my mother had passed on in August.  It may sound strange, but the warmth of the penny I tenderly held in my hand made the veil seem thin. Tomorrow is Mom's birthday, and with angelic help, I was grateful for the comforting gift. A wonderful reminder that Love is eternal, and never dies.    

  

Incredible

I found a penny today

Just laying on the ground,

But it's not just a penny

This little coin I found.

That's what my Grandma told me,

She said, Angels toss them down.

Oh, how I loved that story.

She 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 are feeling blue;

It may be a penny from heaven

That your guardian angel tossed to you.
