00:00.200 --> 00:02.240
- Hey this is Chaplain Muddy here.

00:02.240 --> 00:05.420
I just want to share with
you a story of a ruffled bill

00:05.420 --> 00:08.980
that people saw floating
around the area that they work.

00:08.980 --> 00:11.200
And the bill was like this.

00:11.200 --> 00:12.960
Many persons walked over the bill,

00:12.960 --> 00:14.170
they thought it was a dollar bill.

00:14.170 --> 00:16.330
Many persons said that's too messy.

00:16.330 --> 00:19.050
It's been trodden over,
it's been walked over,

00:19.050 --> 00:21.280
it's been stepped over.

00:21.280 --> 00:22.780
And there was this one person

00:22.780 --> 00:24.350
who decided to take up the bill.

00:24.350 --> 00:27.460
And when he took up the bill,
yes the bill was soiled,

00:27.460 --> 00:29.700
it was disheveled, it was creased

00:29.700 --> 00:31.670
and you can see that the bill went through

00:31.670 --> 00:35.030
so many different things
pressured over time.

00:35.030 --> 00:37.570
But this person decides
to open up the bill

00:37.570 --> 00:40.370
and see what the value of the bill was.

00:40.370 --> 00:43.950
Many persons didn't find it
to be anything of importance

00:43.950 --> 00:46.360
or significance but the
person opened up the bill

00:46.360 --> 00:50.120
and saw that the bill was
a hundred dollar bill.

00:50.120 --> 00:53.097
And this bill was something
that many persons would say

00:53.097 --> 00:55.310
"Listen, I don't necessarily need it

00:55.310 --> 00:57.870
because it may be a George Washington."

00:57.870 --> 00:59.980
And the person saw that
it was a Ben Franklin

00:59.980 --> 01:02.790
and saw the need to be
able to share the story

01:02.790 --> 01:06.030
with the people who were
in the same establishment.

01:06.030 --> 01:08.010
That many of you walked over that bill

01:08.010 --> 01:11.284
that was floating around. Yes
it was soiled, it was dirty,

01:11.284 --> 01:14.780
it was disheveled, it was
creased and it was pressured.

01:14.780 --> 01:18.360
But you didn't take the time
to look at the bill closely

01:18.360 --> 01:21.560
to see that there was value in the bill.

01:21.560 --> 01:24.690
I'm reminded of the wisdom
literature in Psalm 1:39

01:24.690 --> 01:27.980
but also in all wisdom
literatures that you find

01:27.980 --> 01:29.760
all across the world.

01:29.760 --> 01:33.990
That talks about the substance
being hidden in creation.

01:33.990 --> 01:35.930
That indeed the Maker, our Creator

01:35.930 --> 01:37.980
has put something in us that sometimes

01:37.980 --> 01:40.680
we overlook and we overstep.

01:40.680 --> 01:42.760
I want to remind you today that the people

01:42.760 --> 01:45.290
that you are around, the
soldiers, the airmen.

01:45.290 --> 01:48.510
That you may not necessarily
see on surface value

01:48.510 --> 01:51.060
their value. I want you to take the time

01:51.060 --> 01:53.760
to get to look, look at them keenly.

01:53.760 --> 01:56.360
Get to know them, get to understand them.

01:56.360 --> 01:58.260
Get to know that yes,
they have been through

01:58.260 --> 02:00.880
some pressure at times in some situation,

02:00.880 --> 02:02.740
yes they may have been misunderstood,

02:02.740 --> 02:06.240
yes they may have failed
at some type of mission

02:06.240 --> 02:10.380
but it's always important to
take the time to look closely

02:10.380 --> 02:12.530
at that which you are surrounded with.

02:12.530 --> 02:15.420
Those individuals that's
with you in the mission,

02:15.420 --> 02:18.410
in the field, in the
environment that you're in.

02:18.410 --> 02:21.350
And see that there's a
role and there's a task

02:21.350 --> 02:24.140
that can add to the
mission accomplishment.

02:24.140 --> 02:28.160
Be encouraged men, you are
worth much more than you look.

02:28.160 --> 02:28.993
God bless.
