Thoughts for 2026

I came across these little items while cleaning out my files. I did not intend to do any cleanup as a New Year's Resolution but a circumstance happened that caused my three days of work.  You may think the same as I do or disagree, however I think they are interesting.  I don't know the authors' names, but I don't think they will mind if I share.

God is like a Bayer Aspirin

   He works wonders

God is like Ford

   He's got a better idea

God is like Dial Soap

    He gives round the clock protection

God is like Coke

    He is the Real Thing

God is like Pan-American

    He makes the going great

God is like Scope

    He makes you feel fresh

God is like Hallmark cards

     He cared enough to send the Very Best!

                                                          Worth

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 went 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 bill.

He then asked, "Who still wants it?  The hands stayed up.

"Well," he said, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the round and ground it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" 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 is 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 God's eyes. To him, dirty or clean, crumpled or creased, you are still priceless to Him.

Thought: The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we are but by WHOSE WE ARE1

You are special. Have a great day!
