The Penny: The Story


The children at church are participating in "Pennies for Peace."

Today I stopped to buy a cup of coffee.  $2.09.
I gave the cashier $2.10.
"Would you like your penny"
"No.  No, wait.  The kids at church are collecting pennies for peace."

The cashier said ... 
"Here."
She opened the drawer
Grabbed about THIRTY pennies. 
"Let me give you some dimes." I responded.
She continued handing me the pennies ... 
"Here, just take them.
Lots of people leave their extra pennies."

Thanks.
Pennies for peace
Pennies for building schools
Pennies ... they are worth a lot.

Thanks.

I think Abe would be happy
So will the kids at church!
