so glad top here that silverdragon !!!i case u still feel a little in doubt here's a small story i found for you !
Sometimes we just need to be reminded!
>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 up the $20 dollar bill.
>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, 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.
>And remember: amateurs built the ark .
>professionals built the Titanic.
>If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.
