Dad's Dimes

© 2008 By Terri Marie

A Story of Learning Abundance

When my father was a young boy, he would take a certain path home from school. One day he discovered the path was strewn with money. Dimes were laid out on the trail where my dad walked everyday. Dime after dime appeared all the way to his home. It was a magical experience for my father as it probably would be for any of us were we to find such a path today.

What was the Secret?

My great-grandmother had placed dimes along my father’s path, knowing that my father would find them. How she must have smiled! She is probably still beaming up in heaven when she thinks abut it now. It was pure joy that my great-grandmother was spreading. She was throwing joy around in every one of these little dimes. Imagine the joy of seeing a young boy finding some magic in the world. My father was delighted to find a life full of surprises and adventure.

Perhaps you didn’t have a path strewn with dimes or even pennies. Back then dimes were a lot of money. My grandmother wasn’t what you’d call rich, but boy did she have a rich spirit! You can pass along rich spirits in many ways.

Here are Three Suggestions

1. You Can Write Uplifting Notes for Someone You Care About.

I did that for my daughter. When she grew up she started writing little uplifting notes for me. I had even forgotten I had taught her to do this. Life goes in beautiful cycles and paths. Good messages circle round. They add more joy to the world. Leave a cheery note in a public bathroom. Few things in public bathrooms are cheery. Why not be the one to change that? You can also send an inspiring note to yourself. Write a little note tonight for yourself. Leave it out on the counter so you will see it first thing in the morning. Then watch how you feel in the morning when you see it!

2. Refuse to Indulge in Gossip

Gossip weakens the entire human race. Your own spirit becomes meaner. You do not raise the place of others when you gossip. By gossiping you may also feel righteous and then you will not treat them better. You have far better things to do if you plan on becoming rich than to become a gossiper, unless you are spreading good gossip. Then it will be like those dimes. That will cheer people up.

3. Leave a Bit of Money, or a Good Book For Someone to Find

If you have to wait at the doctor, leave a dollar in a magazine with a note “This is for you. I left it so you would know someone cares. Someday pass it on.” I have left books at auto repair shops for the customer who might be upset at having to have their car repaired. Perhaps it helped.

Do some wealth and abundance creating exercises and enrich both yourself and the world.

The world gets more valuable when we give
To make life better is why we live

Happy Prosperity!
