Making a Wish on a Penny

You all know about having to sow before you reap. So what is something you can sow that will be just plain goodness? There is an old saying that if you find a penny heads up on the ground you get a wish. You have probably heard variations on the legend; from good luck to minor wish to dream come true stuff. Nevertheless, there must be something to it or it would not have got so wide spread.

So, what do you do if you find a penny heads up on the ground? Well, you pick it up and make a wish. After that there is everything from throwing it into running water to putting it in your shoe. Depending upon the region you are from the saying varies a bit, but it is all good.

So about that sowing mentioned earlier, here is what I do. Whenever I see a penny on the ground tails up, I turn it heads up for the next person to find. In addition when I am in a parking lot I reach into my pocket and walk around placing pennies heads up in various out of the way, but still visible, places. This is called giving away wishes because most people will find the penny and will make a wish.

Put a heads up penny on the ground every time you wait in a line, or any time you wait somewhere. Try to do it without anyone seeing. You will discover you have lots of opportunity to give out wishes. Leave some heads up pennies every where you go. This way a lot of people will find a heads up penny that will make them happy, at least for a moment. They will pick it up because it is heads up and either feel lucky or make a wish or both. This is sowing good stuff; positive karma, if you will.

Now of course there will be a reaping, but it is not immediate. You can’t go put a penny in the doctors office, then rush home expecting a reward. Like all crops, it takes a while to germinate and grow. Someday when you must have it, it will come to you in a way that will feel right, yet you have done no overt action to acquire it. Yet you must not wait for it nor demand immediate results. This is one of those that will grant you a reward a long way down the road.

So look around your place and gather up a handful of pennies. Then go out and give away wishes. Keep a few pennies with you and whenever you find yourself waiting somewhere, give away wishes.

Be Blessed
