LESSONS LEARNED ABOUT ENCOURAGEMENT FROM FROGGIES
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.
