Wish # 97

Pennies From Heaven

I found a penny today,just laying on the ground.
But it is not just a penny,this little coin I found.
Found pennies come from heaven,thats what my Grandpa told me.
He said Angels toss then 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,make a smile out of your frown.
So don't pass by that penny when you're feeling blue.
It may be a penny from heaven,that an Angel's tossed to you.
~Author unknown

This wish is from Maddie's and Kinsey's Mesue and Papa (my parents). Maddie always believes angels leave her pennies on the ground and she puts them in hers and Kinsey's piggy bank. She always tells us the story about the angels in heaven.

Jesus said “A new command I give you:

In action than what you and Steve have
Done by inviting Maddie and Kinsey into
your hearts and lives.

May god continue to bless you
all of your days. ~Beth

"Darling Chosen One"

A little bit of heaven smiled at us the first time we
saw your precious face. Usually God decides which
baby to send a mommy and a daddy, but He most
graciously allowed us to choose you from all other babies.
We planned and dreamed of you for a longtime.
Then suddenly, one day, we found you. You are our morning Sun,
our evening Star, our darling Chosen One.

May all you hopes and dreams come true and all your days be filled with joy
and laughter.

A great wish from the Gelnar Family.

Because of you hope fills our days
We close our eyes, we see your face.

Our lives were joined, because entwined
Through far apart, yet side by side.

Destined to meet, destined to share
Our lives and love no matter where.

We love you now, we'll love you then
We'll wipe your tears always again.

The home you've known will always be
Part of your life you'll never leave.

The home that waits and longs for you
Becomes a part of your life, too.

So close your eyes and dream sweet dreams
The world can wait until we meet.

And when you wake although you slept
A whole new world you've never left.

May you always love and appreciate the land where
you came from and the home that you have now.
