Children's Sermon - What's a Penny Worth?
A pastor called all the children to the front of the church and gave them each a penny, and explained that the money was God's. The pastor then told them that they could either buy something with the penny or trade it for a dime. All the kids traded their pennies for dimes. The pastor then offered dollars in exchange for the dimes. Most kids opted to spend their dollars and buy something at a dollar store. However, a seven-year-old girl decided to hold out and she changed her dollar for a ten dollar bill, and then finally the $10 was exchanged for $100 bill.

This little girl decided she wanted to spend God's money by helping the children in Afghanistan. She did this by first purchasing ingredients for hot chocolate mix. She then sold the mixes earning a profit of $1000! With the help of her parents and an international aid organization, they were able to send $1000 worth of hygiene kits for the Afghanistan children. Another donor matched the girl's initial $100, so teddy bears were purchased to give to the children as well.

This seven-year-old understood what GOD'S money could do! What a good lesson to learn from such a young believer in how much we can accomplish with GOD's money!
