Something To Think About


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 the $20 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?" 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.

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. Never

be afraid to try something new. And remember: amateurs built the ark.

Professionals built the Titanic.

Read Slowly - This first line is deep..

If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it. God will either

lighten your load or He will strengthen your back.


The value of things is sometimes overlooked. We are worth more than we

think and so are the people that pass through our lives.

I have seen this before but it bless me even more the second time I read it. Thank You, it was good timing.

May the Lord continue to bless you and your daughters.

I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith. Romans 1:11-12

John Trevino
