A very
special message from heaven...
The Andes
Mountains must be very close to heaven because Roy and I received a very
special gift one morning. As I mentioned in an earlier post, while volunteering
in Huancayo Peru we stayed with a family on a farm. Tourists are not common in this area since it is very remote. In fact, in all the time we were there, we were the only tourist that we ever saw. One morning while Roy and
I sat alone in the kitchen sharing a pot of wonderful rich Peruvian coffee, Roy
stopped in the middle of a sentence and pointed to the old stone floor and said,
“Oh my God”! Lying in the dusty corner was a shiny USA penny looking so small
and out of place. I actually began to shake as I went to retrieve it and when I
looked up Roy was wiping a tear from his cheek. It is impossible to describe
what this special gift meant to Roy and me. Although we believe that pennies
that are found are messages from loved ones in heaven, we also believe that pennies
fall from heaven but are earned on earth. I hope the penny we found means that
you are proud of us dad.
