I found a penny in the drive thru

Today I went to the taco bell my total was $5.13. I ordered a snacker (original crispy) and a burrito supreme and a medium drink. I had a five dollar bill and gave exact change. The girl in the window and I had a mis-handling of the monies and my change was dropped. So I opened the door backed up the car and picked up my change. You bet i did. I am married to Mr. Clifton. Who won't go in a restaurant when he's paying if the table cloths are white. Guess what I found. America is truly the land of opportunity. Someone should really tell those folks on the street with the signs that say HUNGRY will work for food. They can walk near the drive-thru and gather a bundle. You walk place to place and pick up all that change...only in America.



consider this, You go to the corner store every morning for your biscuit and coffee its $2.99 how many times do you leave the change? Its just a penny or is it? That $.01 multiplied by the majority of the people who would not consider waiting for the additional and are in a rush to go to work. Then multiplied by the 5 days of the work week. Then by the number of stores the owner has then by the 52 weeks in the year. WOW! That's alot of money.

It is our pride that rushes us in our "busy" lives and makes us so above the crowd that we either don't "need" the penny or our time is just to valuable to wait on it. What if Jesus is that penny? Will you wait or are you to busy?
