I always thought the saying “A penny for your thoughts” was cute. Sometimes I wished whoever was saying it would actually ante up some pennies!

IMG_0097I wonder what would happen if we change the saying to “A penny for your prayers”? It might just be a way to open a conversation with people. It could open the door to finding out what is really on the minds and hearts of those we care about.

Who will you offer a penny to this week? Maybe you can even offer it to someone whom you don’t know or want to get to know. Or you can ask someone else to pray for you. Sometimes people don’t know if you want prayers for anything specific. Share a penny of your thoughts.
