power of a penny

when I started walking Saturday afternoon

the day was bright

but as time passed

the sky became increasingly drab

and my feelings darkened to match the sky

soon I was putting one foot in front of the other

not because I wanted to be walking, 

but because know I need to 

thoughts wrestling,

feelings battling truth

I prayed, not really knowing what to say

and as I prayed

something caught my eye

 it made me smile

I don't think God sends pennies from heaven

I do think He opens my eyes to see them

I stopped to take a picture

I stooped and picked it up

putting one cent in my back pocket makes a ton of sense,

because every time I see a penny it is a reminder:

in God I trust
