A well-known
speaker started off
his seminar by
holding up a $100 note. In
the room of 200, he asked,
"Who would like this $100
note?"
Hands started going up.
He said, "I am going to give
this $100 to one of you
but first, let me do this.
He proceeded to
crumple up the
$100 note.
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 $100.
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 VERY 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 which never sank..
professionals built the Titanic but it sank.
If God brings you to
it - He will bring you
through it.
