DON'T EVER FORGET IT!!
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 to one of you, but
first, let me do this.
He proceeded to crumple the bill up.
He 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 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 dollars.
Many times in out lives, we are dropped, crumpled and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.
We feel that 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
love you.
The worth of our lives come not in what we or who we know, but, by who we are.
You are special, don't ever forget it!!
Pass this on to those you care about.
Even the one who sent it to you.
You will never know the lives it touches the hurting hearts it speaks to, or the hope that it can bring.
Always count your blessings.
Not your problems
DO NOT TOLERATE VIOLENCE
IN ANY FORM.. IF YOU SUSPECT ABUSE IS GOING ON, DO NOT TRY TO INTERVENE, BUT NOTIFY THE AUTHORITIES.
YOU MAY ACTUALLY SAVE A LIFE.
Is this payback time? At the expense of our children and our Futures? In the year 2001, the number of black single parent households is still on the rise. And where are our mothers and fathers?
