1012. The worth of each person on earth! I hope we value and respect and love everyone we meet! WATCH FOR FUN ENTRY TOMORROW!
I first posted this 3 years ago today. With life
becoming more hectic and tense each day, and
many people who disappoint us, it is important to
remember how important each person truly is!
Watch for a very fun entry for tomorrow,
St. Patrick"s Day, 2018! It's almost ready!

377. "The worth of souls is great in the sight of the Lord!"
"The worth of souls is great in the sight of the Lord!" I like this short story. I know many of you are having a bad day, week, month, etc. It is so important to remember how important you are, and how important every person in this world is. Everyone we meet has a fascinating story, if we knew them well. Let's try and take time to listen to all we meet today, and recognize their worth, and our own!
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 $20 bill to one of you - but first, let me do this.”
He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note 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 in 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.
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 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 your lives come not in what we do or who we know, but by… WHO WE ARE!”
