Sometimes we just need to be reminded!

A well-known speaker started off his seminar

by: holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of

200, he asked,’ Who would like this

$20 bill? ‘

Hands started going up.

 

He said, ‘ I am going to give this $20 to one of

you but first, let medo this. He proceeded to

crumple up the $20 dollar bill.

He then asked, ‘ Who still wants it? ‘

Still the hands were up in the air.

 

Well, he replied, ‘ What if I do this? ‘

And he dropped it on the ground and started

to grind it into the floor with his shoe.

He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.

‘Now, who still wants it? ‘

Still the hands went into the air.

 

My friends, we have all learned a very valuable

lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you

still wanted it because it did not decrease in value.

It was still worth $20.

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled

and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make

and the circumstances that come our way.

We feel as though we are worthless.

But no matter what has happened or

what will happen, you will never lose your

value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely

creased, you are still priceless to those

who Do Love you.

 

The worth of our lives comes not in what we

do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE

You are special Don’t EVER forget it ‘

If you do not pass this on, you may never

know the lives it touches, the hurting hearts

it speaks to or the hope that it can bring.

Count your blessings, not your problems.

 

And remember: amateurs built the ark ..

professionals built the Titanic.

If God brings you to it – He will bring you

through it.
