$20.00

Sometimes we just need to be reminded!

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00bill. 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 startedto 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 whatI 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 wemake 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 WHAT 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.
