I got this as an email, and that it was worth sharing:love
Take care friends:happy
A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a twenty dollar
bill....In the room of two hundred, he asked, "Who would like this twenty dollar
bill?"
Hands started going up, he said, "I am going to give this to one of
you, but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumble the bill up.
He then asked, "who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" 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 hands went into the
air. My friends, you all have learned a very valuable lesson. No
matter what I did to the money, you still want it, because, it did not decrease
in value. It was still worth twenty dolllars." "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 that we are
worthless, but no matter what has happened or what will happen, you
will never lose your value, dirty or clean, crumpled or creased, you are still
priceless to God and those who love you. The worth of our lives come not
in what we do, or who we know, but, by who we are. You are special,
don't ever forget it!!"
