[00:14.04]When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, [00:18.00]they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. [00:22.15]The two frogs ignored the comments [00:25.53]and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. [00:29.79]The other frogs kept telling them to stop, [00:33.09]that they were as good as dead. [00:35.15]Finally, one of the frogs took heed [00:39.09]of what the other frogs were saying and gave up. [00:42.49]He fell down and died. [00:44.89]The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. [00:50.35]Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him [00:53.98]to stop the pain and just die. [00:56.16]He jumped even harder and finally made it out. [01:00.96]When he got out, the other frogs said, [01:03.93]"Did you not hear us?" [01:06.21]The frog explained to them that he was a little deaf. [01:10.25]He thought they were encouraging him the entire time. [01:14.22]This story teaches us two lessons: [01:17.27]1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. [01:22.08]An encouraging word to someone [01:24.60]who is down can lift them up [01:26.67]and help them make it through the day. [01:28.75]2. A destructive word to someone [01:32.36]who is down can be what it takes to kill them. [01:35.55]Be careful of what you say. [01:37.50]Speak life to those who cross your path. [01:41.21]The power of words is sometimes hard to understand [01:45.83]that an encouraging word can go such a long way. [01:49.87]Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another [01:54.57]of the spirit to continue in difficult times. [01:57.51]Special is the individual [02:00.26]who will take the time to encourage another. |
