I had trouble getting to sleep last night, and then I woke up at about 4:00 am and couldn’t get back to sleep, i dunno why! Ughh. Being tired really stresses my whole system. :(
Btw, I have been working furiously on a new cuties for adoption, you can view here
To Charles ur a doll for me :) thanks a lot my sweet stinker! :) mwaahh
Well, i would love to share this ,..
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 to one of you but first, let me do this.” He proceeded to crumple the dollar 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?”? And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe, crumpled and dirty.
“Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went into 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 has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in the eyes of those who love you.
Hope everyone has a good day, stay warm and safe.

aba, nakauna ako! hehe… great illustration, i came across that before but it never loses its effect on me. si Lord ganun sa atin ano? kahit anong gawin natin we’re still precious to Him. ang tao kasi minsan hindi ganun, but no matter, what we’re worth is still the same. just like that $20 bill. have a great day ethel! Godblessya :)

galing ng mensahe. tulad ng sabi ni mei, ganun din si Lord. siya ang tunay na nagmamahal sa atin. kahit ilang beses natin siyang saktan dahil sa ating mga kasalanan, hindi nagbabago ang halaga natin para sa kanya. i think this is also true with our parents.
