Do you really look at something…

Something that my mum taught me, was to pay attention to the value of things.

I had a book called the Silver Brumby, this book was gifted and I read it and handed it back. I knew the value of this book and once saw the author and how she regretted not keeping the paper cover on the book.

Why, because her first print hardcover at the time was worth $600 but the cover slip on the book was $1500. Now this is something that has bugged me, I gave it to the owner written inside the cover, being nice but told her that information, well because this person is a narcissist and will not listen to anyone, I am sure by now she dumped it.

Throwing away money is ridiculous to me and this came back to my mind because yesterday I was drying my cloths, someone had left two very old books there and I was interested in the one with the paper slip still attached, this book is very very old. So, I looked up the value, over $100-$200 or more.

I rang the person who owned the place and asked if I could take it home, I was given the all clear. So when I can I am going to list it and it gets me back to the heading.

Do you really look at something, do you pay attention and listen, do you store information and value, what others do not.

Don’t just disregard it because it may not seem like anything to you, value is when you really understand having God in your life. Value all he has for you and all he has done for you, do not get caught up in the mess of the world, but see his value.
