The Twenty Dollar Bill

Nothing to see here
Something positive to start the day with.



The Twenty Dollar Bill



A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill.



In the room of 200, he ask, “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 crumble the bill up. He then ask, “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 floor 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 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 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 priceless.

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know but WHO WE ARE!

YOU ARE SPECIAL-----Don’t ever forget it.



Count your blessings----Not your problems!!!!!!

God does not see us as crumpled and dirty once we ask for forgiveness, and ask him into our lives he makes us clean. God is our perfector, if we fix our eyes on him.

I know Kwillia has spoken to God before, but I'm not sure it was for forgiveness.

Maybe god should get off his lazy ass and stop the santa ana winds and make it rain in So Cal. Even Fat Joe can make it rain :rolleyes:

Have you prayed about it? I don't know why God allows some things to happen and not others. I know he gave FREE WILL to all mankind and some people use that FREE WILL to do evil things. ( those people that are starting the fires in California ) If he stopped those people then he would be taking away our FREE WILL and we would just be puppets on a string. He wants us to Love him by our choice.He never promised us a pain free life here on earth, what he promised us was everlasting life in Heaven one day if we love him and chose to live for him.

Probably because it is during these times he wants us to turn to Him and ask for help. Usually it is during the hardest times in our lives that we learn we are not in control at all and learn to truely give it over to God. Without sorrow, we would never know joy. Without hate, we wouldn't know love.
