JOY FROM A DUSTY DIME
One day while walking home from school in 1934, I was thirsty, I mean real thirsty for a Coke which I only had about three or four months apart. As I began to walk toward home down that gravel dusty road, there was a grocery story about a mile from town. I passed it many times, reading the big sign on the side wall. The sign made me more thirsty, “Coca-Cola, the pause that refreshes.” This day I had eaten only one sweet potato that I had carried to school for lunch. It was only a small tater and I was still hungry and thirsty. Cokes cost a nickel and I was broke.
At lunch period I hid behind the hedges to peal and eat my tater, but the wealthy town kids found me and my tater. They mocked me and made all sorts of fun of me because I didn’t have a proper lunch. They made up little songs about my ragged pants, patches and holes in my shirt. That was almost a daily ritual, to make fun of my poverty.
But, this one day I prayed on the way home for a Coke, not knowing just how much the Lord was listening. I thought maybe Jesus was too busy to fool with a little boy like Ogden, but He wasn’t! Just as I walked close enough to see that mouth watering sign, I looked down and you cannot imagine what I saw. I saw a dingy, dusty, dirty silver dime in the gravel and dust. I scraped it off the best I could with my pocket knife and headed for the store. Joy was in the heart of a little boy because of a little dusty dime.
I purchased the Coke that God gave me and spent the rest on some peppermint candy for my Mom. Believe what you will, I think God supplied that dime for which I gave thanks. He has since then supplied all my needs for eighty-three years.
Little things in life are very important, but I am thinking about what God tells us in Luke 5:7, “I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.”
The salvation of one person who comes to know Christ is worth more than all the riches of the world.
May we begin now to put soul winning ahead of everything else. It’s worth more than a million dusty dimes.
Are you thirsty for souls?

“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”

Revelation 3 continues Jesus’ messages to the churches, exposing their true spiritual condition whether alive, weak, or lukewarm showing that He sees beyond outward appearance. He calls for repentance, watchfulness, and wholehearted devotion, urging them to strengthen what remains and not grow complacent. Those who are self-satisfied are warned, while those who remain faithful are encouraged. He stands ready for fellowship with those who respond, and promises that those who overcome will be established with Him: secure, known by Him, and sharing in His authority.
