Some frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of themfell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pitwas, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. Thetwo frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pitwith all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop,that they wouldn’t not succed to get out. Finally, one of the frogs tookheed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell downand 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. Hejumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, theother frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained tothem that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him theentire timeSo...We should watch our words as 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 it through the day, but a destructive word to someone who is not feeling good can be what it takes to kill them.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. Everybody can speakwords that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Precious is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.Shining day to all of you my EC friendsForget-me-not
