Someone needs to see this!

A father said to his daughter “You have graduated with honors, here is a Jeep I bought many years ago. It is pretty old now. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.”
The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because they said it looks pretty worn out.” The father said, now “Take it to the pawn shop.”
The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said, ”The pawn shop offered only $100 because it is an old Jeep.” The father asked his daughter to go to a Jeep club now and show them the Jeep.
The daughter then took the Jeep to the club, returned and told her father,” Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it because “it's an iconic Jeep and sought by many collectors.”
Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way,” If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you..... Never stay in a place where no one sees your value.

Very good. However how many among us would have this wisdom?

That’s why I posted that… someone needed to see it. Don’t you sometimes read something and think to yourself, “Wow, that reminds me of me. They could be talking to me about my situation. I never thought about it like that…I’m glad I saw that.”

Thank you for posting this. It revealed a flaw in me. I have been to too many pawn shops.

This is a classic comment if there ever was one per the pawn shop reference ... applies to more situations than just medical!

I'm going put that one on a piece of paper, frame it and hang it over my desk!

I’m seeing Connect members linking others to this thread and I thank you for doing that. For taking the time to be so helpful and kind.
That was my purpose in posting that simple little story. We often do make a difference in little kind things that we do.

Ecclesiastes 4 | AMP
God's word calls on us
to make our senior
years a time of spiritual maturity and intellectual growth. A time to convert a
lifetime of courageous
morality, personal integrity, and character-building into a legacy that encourages and inspires the next generation.
