Ladies and Gentlemen, sometimes a life lesson comes from an unlikely source – FaceBook!
A father, before he died, said to his son: “This is the watch your grandfather gave me and this is more than 200 years old. Before I give it to you, go to the “Watch Shop” on first street, and tell him I want to sell it, and ask how much they'd offer”.
The son went and after several minutes, he came back to his father and said, "The watchmaker offered to pay $5 because it's old and has a lot of scratches.” He then asked him to go to the “Coffee Shop”.
The son went and after an hour or so, he came back and said: “The ‘Coffee Shop’ owner offered $5 for the watch, father.”
“Go to the ‘Museum’ and show them that watch”. He went ahead and then came back happily. “They offered me a Million Dollars for this incredible time piece.”
The father said: “I wanted to let you know that the right place values you in the right way. Don't put yourself in the wrong place and get angry if you get treated like trash. Those who know your value are the ones who appreciate you, don't ever stay in a place that doesn't recognize you nor suit you."
Know your worth.
Jesus says it this way:
Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, Oh you of little Faith?
Therefore, do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your Heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness (Right Way of Living), and all these things shall be added to you.
Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Dear ones, we must stop being concerned with what others my “think” about us as Christians – followers of Christ Jesus our LORD and Savior.
LORD, my life and my times are in Your Hands. You are Jehovah-Jireh my Provider!
EVERYTHING I have comes from You and You alone! I thank You for my relationships of family and friends, but most of all I THANK YOU for my Eternal Relationship I have with YOU, each and every day! I can read in Your Word exactly what You “think” about me and that is what really matters.
I TRUST You LORD with all my heart, all my soul, and all my strength!
Amen and AMEN!
