Many years ago I read a quote as a teenager that I never forgot. I share the special quote with anyone who will listen.
The quote says:
"When you see a penny on the ground don't walk away, pick it up.
It means an Angel in Heaven was thinking of you and put the penny in your path to let you know"
The quote says:
"When you see a penny on the ground don't walk away, pick it up.
It means an Angel in Heaven was thinking of you and put the penny in your path to let you know"
Once I read that quote it was nearly
impossible for me to walk by a penny or any coin without picking it up. An
Angel was thinking of me?? It’s what I like to call divine
intervention of sorts. We have all types of Mason jars and other glass jars
full of coins throughout strategic places in our home. Near the front door is a
mason jar used for coins found on the ground or from bottle return deposits.
This change is usually given to the paper boy or added with bills for pizza
delivery. My boys' often use the change in the jar to buy snacks from the store
or when the ice cream man comes around in the summer.
My husband and I have a large mason
jar full of change we keep on our dresser in our bedroom. Most nights I empty
my purse and coat pockets any loose change I throw into the Mason jar. My
husband also puts loose change from his coat and pants pockets into the jar.
Whenever the jar is full we change the coins into bills and use the money for
pizza night or movie night. It's amazing how fast the jar can fill up just throwing
in a few coins a day.
Turn your Coins Into Tunes!
