The $20.00 Bill
Size: Large, Medium, Small Tue Apr 1, 08 04:28 AM | Category: Stories

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 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 the 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, you 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 in God's eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him."

THOUGHT: The worth of our lives come not in what we do or who we are but by WHOSE WE ARE! You are special - Don't ever forget it! null where do you want to go next!

well i have shoe dirt and bruises nobody would want me but the homeless shelter .so im not like the 20 dollar bill, cause going to the weekly meeting covered in dirt(and , in some shoe cases, dog poo), messy and , probably in an outbreak of sarcasm, id fail to get a popularity vote ,even if i would have done my assignments in the most brilliant impecable human possible way. of course, the analogy works for other things too, like food, although i have some buddies who would eat no matter what u step on -anytime.
