This I Believe: Faith

Pennies From Heaven.








The belief that is being discussed is about faith. This man had a wife. After 43 breathtaking years of marriage; the wife dies from cancer. This man, finds pennies on the ground, he pursues the dream of his wife leaving them there for him. Pennies from heaven. 

After Stark loses his wife to cancer, he has to experience new things. After about a month after his wife's death, Stark was banking in money, but something stopped him in his trail. A penny. Instead of leaving on the ground; as he normally would. He picked it up and brought it home. Each day after that, he found multiple pennies lying on the ground. When he realized that he needed a bigger jar. He realized that He remembered something else. Once before his friend had told him that angels leave pennies to exclaim 'Good Luck'. From then on, whenever he found a penny, he knew that up there, his wife was helping him, in a way. She was an angel.



This story appealed to me because of the context. The way he described his life after his wife's death, was so tragic. Still, some place it gave you ideas of hope and faith. It lets you know that God really might be up there, and still giving us boosts, when needed.
