So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male
and female he created them.
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. He picked it up, now all 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.
You are special - Don't ever forget it!
(Genesis 1:27
NRSV)
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."
Loving God, thank you for making me in your image, because that makes me very special. Amen.
