$20.00


Sometimes
we just need to
be
reminded!


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 $20bill?'

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 dollarbill.

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 and WHOSE 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 Allah brings you to it He will bring you through it.
