The 20 Dollar Bill















This song is my new favorite....
Oh to find someone who feels this way about me.

Recently I was talking to a friend about how I felt that "Prince Charming" didn't exist. He was quick in saying of course there is such a thing as "Prince Charming" look at all the people who are happily married. To which my cynical remark was, those girls were sick of looking so they just settled with the best thing they could find. His response to my remark surprised me though. He basically said not everyone is perfect I just have to look for the best in another person, which reminded me of this picture. My friend went on with his "Prince Charming" speech to tell me to look up this talk by President Uchtdorf, and the 20 dollar bill story.
Here is where I insert that I had been praying and fasting for some answers and this talk that he recommended I read answered my prayers. Because no one is perfect not even myself. I am like the "crumpled, torn, dirty, abused and scarred 20 dollar bill" and my "Prince Charming" may appear that way as well but we are both "worth the full 20 dollars". This has caused me to think on a deeper level about how I judge the people I interact with because yes they may look "dirty, abused and scarred" they are still children of God, and are "still worth the full 20 dollars"
