I received this via email today
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. < B> 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 God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.

Thanks Russ, I happened to see "Who's Online" reading this story, so I read it as well. It's precious. ---- -Prettier Than Freckles ~'Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.' --Mark Twain- It happened one year at the zoo. My daughter and I stood beside a grandmother and a little girl whose face was sprinkled with bright red freckles. The children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws. "You've got so many freckles, there's no place to paint," a boy in the line yelled. Embarrassed, the little girl beside me dropped her head. Her grandmother knelt down next to her. "I love your freckles," she said. "Not me," the girl replied. "Well, when I was a little girl I always wanted freckles," she said, tracing her finger across the child's cheek. "Freckles are beautiful !" The girl looked up. "Really ?" "Of course," said the grandmother. "Why, just name me one thing that's prettier than freckles." The little girl peered into the old woman's smiling face. "Wrinkles," she answered softly. That moment has whispered something to me ever since. If I look at others with the eyes of love, I will not see blemishes. Only beauty. --Sue M Kidd -From "Chicken Soup for the Golden Soul" ~~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]

-Fear Not-BIBLE MEDITATION "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with the whithersoever thou goest." Joshua 1:9-DEVOTIONAL THOUGHTThe devil is the sinister minister of fear. When he clamps his icy fingers of fear on your heart, do you become afraid of what he'll do to you if you take a stand for God? Don't be afraid. Fear is an insult to God who said, I will be with thee. Fear will destroy you. Are you a worrywart? One lady said, "Don't tell me it does no good to worry. Most of the things I worry about never come to pass." Be not dismayed. God will take care of you. -ACTION POINT: Ask the Holy Spirit to show you what your fears are, then confess them as sin. Repent, then reach up and take hold of His right hand that is outstretched to sustain you and give you the victory !
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
