Always count your blessings, not your problems in life.
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 to one of you, but first, letme do this. He proceeded to crumple the 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 hands went into the air. My
friends, you all 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 dollars. 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
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 do, or who we know, but, by who
we are. You are special, don't ever forget it!! Return
this to the one who sent it to you, as apparently you mean a lot to
them. Then when you are done with that pass this on to those others you
care about. 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 in life.

Love and peace. Tracy
