$20.00

 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 me

do 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 and

WHOSE 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.
