FROGS
Is the title of today's inspirational message
A group of frogs was traveling through the
woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit.
All the other frogs gathered around the pit.
When they saw how deep the pit was, they
told the two frogs that they were as good as
dead.
The two frogs ignored the comments and
tried to jump out of the pit with all of their
might.
The other frogs kept telling them to stop,
that they were as good as dead.
Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what
the other frogs were saying and gave up. He
fell down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as
he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs
yelled at him to stop the pain and just die.
He jumped even harder and finally made it
out. When he got out, the other frogs said,
"Did you not hear us?"
The frog explained to them that he was deaf.
He thought they were encouraging him the
entire time.
Lessons to be learnt:
1. There is power of life and death in the
tongue. An encouraging word to someone
who is down can lift them up and help them
make it through the day.
2. A destructive word to someone who is
down can be what it takes to kill him or her.
Be careful of what you say. Speak life to
those who cross your path. The power of
words.... it is sometimes hard to understand
that an encouraging word can go such a long
way. Anyone can speak words that tend to
rob another of the spirit to continue in
difficult times.
Special is the individual who will take the
time to encourage another.
