Not a Fan of Email Forwards but...

This drives home the point pretty well-

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.
