Angels Leaving Dimes

A couple went to see a lawyer. They had never met this gentleman before and searched to find his office. They finally succeeded as they went down a back alley and up some stairs with a questionable railing in an older Victorian-style house. They were wondering about the wisdom of this adventure and had a lot of trepidation about hiring the man. But they felt confident when they entered the office and were greeted by a clean-cut gentleman in his 40s who looked like he could handle their request.

As they sat in his office and detailed their story, they noticed that he was scooping dimes into a drawer as he grabbed a pad of paper to make notes. This happened a few times. They thought to themselves. Hmmm….maybe what they say about lawyers is true, and he has kept every dime he has ever made.

Finally, at the end of their consultation, they asked about the dimes. The lawyer smiled and said, “Well, I was told that dimes are my Angels way of saying hello to me. Now, I often find dimes in all sorts of unusual places.”

The couple smiled and left, silently wondering with skepticism about the dimes and the lawyer they had retained.

They were both silent as they walked to their car, and when the husband opened the wife’s door to let her slide in, she noticed a dime on the seat. She gasped and looked at her husband suspiciously. He was still holding the door handle though gazing into the street. Then she smiled and showed her husband. Since that time, they have found a lot of dimes in unusual places whenever they are anxious or worried about a situation.

Now that you know this story, you will too.  Happy dime collecting.

Since I heard this story, I have found dimes in the washing machine with towels (which proves Angels have a sense of humour), on the ground, and sitting on my desk. Whenever I encounter one, it makes my heart happy, and I smile and say thank you.
