A $20 Lesson

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 up in 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."

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.

Pass this message to those you know
needs this gentle reminder that they are..


.. indeed..


.. God's love and child!

This is a very nice one.
See?
If the message is meaningful and worth some value, people will gladly forward it.
Don't curse people with mistfortune just so that some useless/pointless/waste of time and space is forwarded, only to cause an unnecessary cycle of nuisance.

Know the truth, everyone.
Those posts that say you're gonna die or have some misfortune, or even your love is gonna come to you or some love miracle will happen...
Trust me.. They never happened, as scary or desireable as they seem.


Do your part.


Stop forwarding the meaningless chains...



Cause when the forwarding stops...




..So does the chain.
