Crumpled 20
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.
You
are special-
Don't EVER forget it."
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.
