The power of words

A group of frogs was traveling through the woods, and two of themfell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the unfortunate frogsthey would never get out.The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of thepit. 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 weresaying and simply 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 suffering and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made itout.When he got out, the other frogs asked him, "Why did you continuejumping? Didn't you hear us?" The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

This story teaches two lessons:
1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouragingword to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make itthrough the day.
2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takesto 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 anencouraging 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. May your words be a blessing to someone today.
