A well known speaker started off his semonar by holding up $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "who would like this $20bill?" Hands started going up. He said"i am going to give this$20 to one of you but, 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 in the ground and started to grind it into the floorwith his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty."Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into air. My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what i did to the money, u still wanted it bcoz it did not decrease in value.It was still worth$20. Many times in our lives,we dropped,crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances tha come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, u will never lose ur value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased,u are still priceless to those who fo LOVE U... The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know,but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE, You are special- Don't EVER forget it"

Well done. I love this story, there are days that I need to be reminded about my value. It is so easy to lose our selves and forget that we have a value to our selves if no others. I appreciate the time you spent getting this to us
