His Footprints, My Heart...

Frogs
There once was a bunch of tiny frogs.... who arranged a running competition.
The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.
A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants....
The race began....
Honestly:
No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.
You heard statements such as:
"Oh, WAY too difficult!!"
"They will NEVER make it to the top."
or:
"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"
The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one....
Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher....
The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"
More tiny frogs got tired and gave up....
But ONE continued higher and higher and higher....
This one wouldn't give up!
At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!
THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?
A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal?
It turned out....
That the winner was DEAF!!!!
The wisdom of this story is:
Never listen to other people's tendencies to be
negative or pessimistic.... because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you -- the ones you have in your heart!
Always think of the power words have.
Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!
Therefore:
ALWAYS be....
POSITIVE!
And above all:
Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!
Always think:
God and I can do this!
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Phil 4:13
Share this message with all the "tiny frogs" you care about.
Give them some motivation!!!
Most people walk in and out of your life......but FRIENDS leave footprints in your heart

Wow. However did you get those frogs to jump?

I love the story and the jumping froggies!

Great stuff, Cindy. I love that verse.
And there are days I'm a frog.
BTW, in Firefox, your center white stripe is still not wide enough (or the "container" for the text is too wide--which ever). In fact, it forces all your sidebar stuff to the bottom, beneath the last post.
Nettie: she just used "animated GIF" files for the froggy pictures.
