A Great Story
Once upon a time there 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!
Most people walk in and out of your life......but FRIENDS leave footprints in your heart.

This is a terrific story. I can image this frog scene in my mind.
Words are powerful. Words can empower or kill the spirit.
In every project, this scenario takes place.
I volunteer in a small rural community that I recently moved into. I have worked with this community for past 7 years. We have taken on large projects much bigger than ourselves; and, of course, not without opposition. If we had not had deaf ears to the oppressors, we would not have a "debt free" two hundred thousand dollar community center and a fifty-five thousand dollar waterfront dock/fishing pier. It has been an enhancement to say the least for this small rural (almost fading) community. The druggies have all moved out of the area and it's a much safer and cleaner place to live in today. There have been several families from the northern states who have come in and fallen in love with the area and bought properties and these are positive improvements. Why would a place like this attract people who want out of the cities? It's an absolute beautiful area in Kentucky overlooking the Ohio River. I am one of those people who migrated south to get out of the city. By God's grace it was manifested; and, here I am using my computer to operate a business www.DivineHomeBiz.com with no hassle of manmade stuff like traffic lights and concrete. This is God's country! Just kidding folks, we do need you city folks.
God be glorified as He uses His people to make things happen all across this great nation and worldwide.
And, by the way, we did have "frogs that got tired and gave up" before our projects were finished. But those with "deaf ears" to negativity moved forward and upward.
God is equipping His saints.
Brightly Shine for Jesus,
