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 may feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;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.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;You are special, don&#8217;t EVER forget it. Most of all, YOU are special to the God who gave you the life you are living.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>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 may bring.
