    $20.00

    $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 $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 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."

    Count your blessings, not your problems.

    That's brilliant. Also...

    Can I have the $20?
    You only need two tools in life:
    Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't.
    WD-40 if it doesn't move and it should.


    Brute force and ignorance always prevails.
    Failure comes from too little brute force, or
    too little ignorance.

    I would never consider Noah as an amatuer....after all did the builders of Titanic talk to God?

    The Ark ended up on a Mountain in Turkey, which was referred in the bible as Ararat, whereas Titanic is 12,600 ft under the briney...
