Frogs
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.
Be special to others.
