What is Your Value?

Your Value In a story...

A hundred dollar bill - if you hold it up and look at it when you first take it out of your pocket, it is clean and crisp and worth $100.

Now throw it on the ground step on it, throw it in the mud and get grass stains on it...Is it still $100. yes it is..nothing changed just a little dirt.

Now take it out in the street lay it in and oil spot or a gasoline spot once again step on it and ground in the grime of oil and gas... you may not want to handle it, but if you took it to the store and tried to spend it is it still worth a $100?

That is how God looks at each one of us.. No matter what you go through you have not lost your value in God's eyes..

Be the Best You can be...

May God Bless..

How You Deleiver the Message makes all the Difference in the World

The Tone of the Voice

It's not so much what you say,
as the manner in which you say it;
It's not so much the language you use,
as the tone in which you convey it.

"Come here", I sharply said,
And the child cowered and wept.
"Come here", I said, he looked and smiled,
And straight to my lap he crept.

Words may be mild and fair,
But the tone may pierce like a dart;
Words may be soft as the summer air,
But the tone may break my heart;

For words come from the mind
Grow by study and art,
But tone leaps from the inner self,
Revealing the state of heart.

Whether you know it or not,
Whether you mean or care,
Gentleness, kindness, love and hate,
Envy, anger are there.

Then, would you quarrels avoid--
And peace and love rejoice?
Keep anger not only out of your words,
Keep it out of your voice.

...but your grandchildren are perfect!
~Going out is good.
Coming home is better!

they add "for your age!"

because other people forgot
they even knew you!!!

to be really good at anything .... especially golf.

to remember things you don't remember.
~The things you used to care to do,
you no longer care to do,
but you really do care that you
don't care to do them anymore.
~Your husband sleeps better on a lounge chair
with the TV blaring than he does in bed.
It's called his "pre-sleep".
~Remember when your mother said,
"Wear clean underwear in case you GET in an accident"?
Now you bring clean underwear in case you HAVE an accident!
~You used to say,
"I hope my kids GET married...
Now, "I hope they STAY married!"
~You miss the days when everything worked
with just an "ON" and "OFF" switch..
~When GOOGLE, ipod, email, modem ....
were unheard of, and a mouse was something
that made you climb on a table.
~You used to use more 4 letter words ....
"what?"..."when?"... ???
~Now that you can afford
expensive jewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.
~Your husband has a night out with the guys,
but he's home by 9:00 P.M. Next week it will be 8:30 P.M.
~You read 100 pages into a book before you realize you've read it.
~Notice everything they sell in stores is "sleeveless"?!!!
~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.
~Everybody whispers.
~Now that your husband has retired ...
you'd give anything if he'd find a job!
