CACHORRITOS DE VENTA
El dueño de una tienda estaba colocando un anuncio en la puerta que decía: "Cachorritos
de venta". Esta clase de anuncios siempre atraen a los niños, y pronto un niñito
apareció en la tienda preguntando: "¿Cuál es el precio de los perritos?" .. El dueño
contestó: "Entre $30 y $50". El niñito metió la mano en su bolsillo y sacó unas monedas:
"Sólo tengo $2.37... ¿puedo verlos?". El hombre sonrió y silbó. De la trastienda salió su
perra corriendo seguida por cinco perritos. Uno de los perritos estaba quedándose
considerablemente atrás. El niñito inmediatamente señaló al perrito rezagado que cojeaba.
"¿Qué le pasa a ése perrito?", preguntó. El hombre le explicó que cuando el perrito nació,
el veterinario le dijo que tenía una cadera defectuosa y que cojearía por el resto de su vida.
El niñito se emocionó mucho y exclamó: "¡Ese es el perrito que yo quiero comprar!"
El hombre replicó: "No, tú no vas a comprar ese cachorro, si tú realmente lo quieres, yo te
lo regalo". El niñito se disgustó, y mirando directo a los ojos del hombre le dijo:"Yo no
quiero que usted me lo regale. El vale tanto como los otros perritos y yo le pagaré el precio
completo. De hecho, le voy a dar mis $2.37 ahora y 50 centavos cada mes hasta que lo
haya pagado completo". El hombre contestó:"Tú en verdad no querrás comprar ese perrito,
hijo. El nunca será capaz de correr, saltar y jugar como los otros perritos". El niñito se
agachó y se levantó la pierna de su pantalón para mostrar su pierna izquierda, cruelmente
retorcida e inutilizada, soportada por un gran aparato de metal. Miró de nuevo al hombre y
le dijo: "Bueno, yo no puedo correr muy bien tampoco, y el perrito necesitará a alguien que
lo entienda". El hombre estaba ahora mordiéndose el labio, y sus ojos se llenaron de
lágrimas... sonrió y dijo:"Hijo, sólo espero y rezo para que cada uno de estos cachorritos
tenga un dueño como tú".
En la vida no importa quién eres, sino que alguien te aprecie por lo que eres, te acepte y te
ame incondicionalmente.

FOOTPRINTS
One nigth a man has a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the
LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set
of footprints in the sand; one belonged to him and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in
the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of
footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him and he questioned to the LORD about it. "LORD, you said that
once I decided to follow You, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during
the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand
why, when I needed You most, You would leave me." ...The LORD replied: "My precious,
precious child, I love you, and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and
suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

THE WORTH OF OUR LIVES
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In a room full of
people, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. The
speaker said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple the $20 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?" He dropped
the money 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, 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. The same is true about people." 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 ever happen, you will never lose your value
in God's eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still
priceless. Psalm 17:8 states that God will keep us, "as the apple of His eye."
The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we are but by WHOSE WE
ARE! You are special because you are a child of God. Don't ever forget it!
