FLC’s Thinking Out Loud

Surprise is a very mild word to describe what I felt when I saw her again. After a year away from each other… She is slimmer and seems taller, if that’s possible. She still has that sassy attitude and that snobbish air about her. I don’t know if she can really change completely but what I saw is a big improvement. She told me that the weight loss was brought about by a strict diet program that includes no fat, low carb meals and diet pills, particularly Phentermine no prescription needed for this pill according to her. Physically, a lot has changed. But what’s inside is still there. I just pray that she will really be good. For once.

Something to think about and inspire us all.

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. 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 were saying and 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 just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out.When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

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 an encouraging 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.
