$20.00 - Feb. 21, 2003
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 toone of
you but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple the $20 dollar
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. 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, youwill
never lose your value.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to
those who love you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or
whom we know,but by WHO WE ARE.
You are special - Don't EVER forget it. If you donot 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.
Never be afraid to try something new.

Don't be afriad to try something new unless it's amytriptiline 75mg. or compazine suppositories. In those cases be very afraid.
