A Penny!

Four girls scurrying around the house intently searching for the perfect copper piece: 1984, 1987, 1989...for their own birthday penny! All the while dad is overseeing concrete being poured for our additional drive way and for the basketball court so I, the sporty sister, could show off her skills! (JUST KIDDING! although, I did beat the twins a time or two...before they could walk!! I could beat mom so we are good!) We placed pennies with the year of our birthdays on them, one for each of us. So now, whenever we go back to our home on 45 highland road...the yard, the house, the people may have changed...but our copper pieces will still be there in the concrete!!! So...one can only image...YEARS later...I find myself looking under pillows, in the junk drawer, in the center consoles of the cars to find the perfect copper piece...2012!! Kately's penny! Dad put up her swing that Robert and I had gotten Kately for Christmas. As he was pouring the concrete, I went back in time to the day we placed our pennies in the ground! Well, so Kately has a penny in our back yard of our first home!! She loves her swing! Our baby girl is 9months old today! WOW! I thank the Lord every day for her. I can't believe Robert and I were the ones honored to be her parents. I pray each night that I am being the mommy that God has and is preparing my heart to be for our Kately. She has started crawling. I just tear up! Thanks be to God for the precious little glimpses of God's kingdom HERE and NOW!
