A GREAT STORY WE LIKE TO SHARE

Here's a good story: 

A well-known speaker started off his seminar

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 may 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 may bring. 

Count your blessings, not your problems.
