value?

Sunday, Jul 20, 2008 2:02PM / Members only

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.

Conception--What a beautiful name you have. Mine means THE ONE in german, THE EYES OF THE WORLD SYRIAN,and my friends always said my eyes were the color of the world,because my eyes are a mix of blue,green,and brown,with the white scleria,or the white part. Plus my eyes change color,sometimes they appear blue,sometimes green and sometimes amber,I know that sounds impossible,but my friends just called me weird and loved to look in my eyes,except when i was irritated,now i never get mad,I get disappointed,anger never solves anything. So tell me more about yourself. We both seem to enjoy Jet li movies,I just bought four of the special copies of the movie "Mummy 3",Li Lian Jie makes a perfect Dragon Emperor,that look is perfect for him,of course the way he looked in "HERO",was also excellent. Jet's movies are all good,but you can really tell he has grown well in the movies he has made,do you have any favorites??? Well i guess contact my blog space some time,,let me know about you, i look forward to hearing from you.. Stay in peace and stay safe and happy,and blessed!
