Think of a Penny in this way

I found a penny today
laying on the ground.
But it's not just a penny,
this little coin I've found.

Found pennies come from heaven,
that's what my Grandpa told me.
He said Angels toss them down,
Oh, how I loved that story.

He said when an Angel misses you,
they toss a penny down;
Sometimes just to cheer you up,
to make a smile out of a frown.

So don't pass by that penny
when you're feeling blue.
It may just be a penny from h eaven
that an Angel's tossed to you.

We've all come upon many pennies on the ground as we're walking. Most times people will just walk over them as if they are nothing. I"ve read this poem many times and now as I see a penny I always lean over to pick it up. It may seem silly to think of it as being an Angel that misses us or is thinking of us but the thought is comforting. I have many loved ones in heaven that I hope would be thinking of me.
Just thought I'd share that little tidbit with you. You can think of pennies on the ground in a different light.

My Birthday Boys

There's no way I can have a 31 year old son and my baby 26. But the truth is I do. Does that mean I'm getting older too? It seems like just yesterday I was their age and enjoying my young children. Yesterday we got together for the birthday celebration of Jared and Troys birthdays. Today is Jareds and tomorrow is Troys. These are just a few pictures of our time together. I had everyone over for a lasagne dinner then we opened presents and had cake and ice cream and pie. Jared is a pie person and Troy wanted a white cake with white frosting. No decorations of course. I just want to say how much I love these boys and how proud I am of them. They're awesome sons, husbands, fathers and brothers. He's going to huff and puff until he blows that candle out!!

We bought Troy a Wii game. (he wanted to open it up 5 days before his birthday) And we got him a gift certificate to the mall so she could buy him something else he needs. He couldn't wait to go home and snowboard with his Wii game. Jared got a sweatshirt from the Gardners. We got him a gift certificate to his favorite store Cabellas and some other personal things.I think they have to be the most handsome young men on the planet. Happy Birthday Boys!!!! I love you!!
