Redemption / (Value, Wealth)'A gem dealer was strolling the aisles at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show when he noticed a blue-violet stone the size and shape of a potato. He looked it over, then as calmly as possible, asked the vendor, "You want $15 for 'this?' The seller, realizing the rock wasn't as pretty as others in the bin, lowered the price to $10.00. The stone has since been certified as a 1,905-carat natural star sapphire, about 800 carats larger than the largest stone of its kind. It was appraised at $2.28 million. It took a lover of stones to recognize the sapphire's worth. It took the 'Lover of Souls' to recognize the true value of ordinary-looking people like us. --  ---Wanda Vassallo (Value, Wealth)
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
