A group of frogs were traveling 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 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 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 give up. He fell down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowed 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.
Moral: There is a 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.so 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.
