ENCOURAGEMENT!!! HAD TO SHARE IT!!!
A group of frogs were 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 up 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.
This story teaches three lessons:
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 them. Be careful of what you say.
Speak life to those who cross your path.
3. You can do whatever you set your mind to. Just don't
let others make you believe you can't.
