I know the following should belong in another community but all of my DS friends are in this one and I wanted to reach as many as possible. My trainer today, found a penny in class and told us of the following poem. She picked it up and told us of her son being killed in an auto accident and her husband use to throw pennies outside for her to pick up. Then she told us how her husband should technically be dead from a long ago heart-attack but an unusual defect in his heart saved him.

One hour later she gets a call. Her husband is rushed to the hospital--heart attack. Our immediate thought was that penny she found. I found another one on the ground myself when I got home today.

So she will be in my thoughts & prayers this weekend and hope things are ok and I thought I would share the poem she shared with us.

Pennies From Heaven

I found a penny today
laying on the ground,
but it is not just a penny
this little coin I have found.

Found pennies come from Heaven.
That's what my Grandpa, told me.
He said, Angels toss them down.

Oh, how I love that story.

He said when an Angel misses you
they toss a penny down, sometimes
just to cheer you up, to make a smile
from your frown.

So don't pass by that penny
when you are feeling blue,
it may be a Penny from Heaven
that an Angel tossed to you.
