Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 TWO FROGS A group of frogs were travelling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the twofrogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kepttelling 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 downand 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 evenharder 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 thoughtthey were encouraging him the entire time. This story teaches two lessons: • There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someonewho is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day. • 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. The power of words... it is sometimes hard to understand that an encouraging word cango 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 takethe time to encourage another.
