saint of the week

 

In God We Trust

 

 

Today I found a total of three pennies all in different places, all at different times.

Yesterday I found one.  Two days prior, I found one also.  Maybe you are thinking  of the old rhyme:  See a penny pick it up and all the day you'll have good luck.

That is my knee jerk reaction as well, but my second thought is:  In God we trust.

It's on all the pennies.  I think that is where the real luck is found, in trusting God.

 

In the next five weeks I will lead or participate in the leadership of a middle school work camp, Vacation Bible School, and two mission trips.  Nervous?  A bit.

Excited?  Sometimes.  Tired? Not yet, but no doubt I will be.

 

Many people have wished me luck with these endeavors.  But I have more than luck.  . . I have five pennies that remind me that God speaks to us always in all ways.  I have five pennies that say:  Trust God.

 

Who needs luck?
