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 and WHOSE WE ARE. You are special- Don't EVER forget it." 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.

25 YEARS, AND 25 MILLION PEOPLE...
AIDS is 25 years old this year. It has affected every country in the world infecting 65 million people and killing 25 million.
The face of AIDS is female. In Sub-Saharan Africa three women are infected for every two men and among 15-24 year olds three women are infected for every man.
One tenth of the world's population live in Sub-Saharan Africa, yet they are home to almost 64 percent of all people living with AIDS.
Nine in ten children with HIV live in Sub-Saharan Africa.
In Africa, one in five female students reported that their first sexual experience had been coerced.ADMI(RED): WWW.JOINRED.COM - www.KEEPACHILDALIVE.ORG

~DON'T MAKE ANYONE YOUR PRIORITY, IF YOU'RE ONLY A OPTION~
"You're not always given the people that you want. You're given the people that you need. to help you, to hurt you, to love you, and to make you into the person you were meant to be."
I made this layout with help from pYzam , Look at these other Layouts!
"IT IS BETTER TO BE HATED FOR WHAT YOU ARE THAN TO BE LOVED FOR WHAT YOUR NOT."
MY FAMILY!!!My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too... I hope you never look back, but you never forget, All the ones who love you, in the place you left, I hope you always forgive, and you never regret, And you help somebody every chance you get, And you always give more than you take.
