A man And The Million Frogs

–A farmer came into town and asked the owner of a restaurant if he could use a million frog legs. 

The restaurant owner was shocked and asked the man where he could get so many frog legs! The farmer replied, “There is a pond near my house that is full of frogs–millions of them. They croak all during the night and are about to drive me crazy!” 

So the restaurant owner and the farmer made an agreement that the farmer would deliver frogs to the restaurant five hundred at a time for the next several weeks. 

The first week, the farmer returned to the restaurant looking rather sheepish, with two scrawny little frogs. The restaurant owner said, “Well…where are all the frogs?” 

The farmer said, “I was mistaken. There were only these two frogs in the pond. But they sure were making a lot of noise!” 

Next time you hear somebody criticizing or making fun of you, remember it’s probably just a couple of noisy frogs. 

Also remember that problems always seem bigger in the dark. Have you ever lain in your bed at might worrying about things which seem almost overwhelming — like a million frogs croaking?

10/3-Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

10/2–Never forget a friend, and never let a friend forget you.

Story:

I heard a story about a man touring a mental institution. The tour guide told the man that there were five floors there and the further up you went the worse off the patients were.

On the first floor the patients were only mildly ill, but by the time you got to the fifth floor they wee severely ill. On the first floor was a man staring out into space muttering Lulu, Lulu, Lulu. The man touring asked what was wrong. The tour guide said that twenty-five years ago the man was left at the altar by Lulu on their wedding day. The man said that he could understand how that would be hard.

When they finally arrived at the fifth floor that was a man muttering Lulu but more uncontrollable than the first man. The man touring wanted to know what was going on. The tour guide said that twenty-five years ago that man had indeed married Lulu!

No matter how bad you think that you might think you have it someone has it worse. Sometimes what you consider bad can get worse. It rains on the just and unjust. Did you ever think you had it bad until the thing got worse? Then you finally realize that you didn’t have it so bad after all.No matter how bad you may think have it, someone else has it worse, much worse.

You could be griping and then your problem turn out to be a Lulu of a problem. I wouldn’t be brave enough to ask to trade my problem off for fear of getting a worse one that I might not be able to handle.

There are plenty of people who have it worse than you do. Look around and count your blessings. Don’t ever think that you are the only one who has ever had it hard. Plenty of people have had it worse than us and still held their head up high,and won the victory.

You may trade your cross off to discover that your cross was the smallest one they made. I want to glory in tribulation.

Can You Spare A Minute 10/3?

youtube.com/shorts/_0cNUEEkKAk

You can’t find two minutes can you spare just one?

10/3–Can You Spare A Minute?

10/3–One day a little boy complained that his new shoes were hurting his feet. I looked down at his feet. No wonder they hurt. His shoes were on the wrong feet! When I changed them he felt better and was soon the liveliest little fellow in the group. Sometimes our lives seem all sour and stale. We find fault with everyone around us. We need to stop and take a good look at our feet. If we were wearing the same shoes the other fellow wears, would we be happy?

Broken Heart I heard a story about a man who invited his neighbor to attend church with him. On the way home, the neighbor said, “I noticed you have a new preacher.” “Yes,” said his friend, “We fired the old one. He was always telling us unless we repented, we were going to hell.” “But,” the neighbor replied, “your new preacher said the very same thing this morning.” “True,” was the reply, “but our old preacher acted like he was happy about the situation. When our new preacher says this, it seems to break his heart.”

10/2–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

Every minute someone leaves this world behind. We are all in “the line” without knowing it. We never know how many people are before us.

We can not move to the back of the line.

We can not step out of the line.

We can not avoid the line.

So while we wait in line –

Make moments count.

Make priorities.

Make the time.

Make your gifts known.

Make a nobody feel like a somebody.

Make your voice heard.

Make the small things big.

Make someone smile.

Make the change.

Make love.

Make up.

Make peace.

Make sure to tell your people they are loved.

Make sure to have no regrets.

Make sure you are ready.

Story:

10/2–There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker. One day, the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound and he found that he was not. This angered him and he took the farmer to court.

The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The farmer replied, you see Your Honour, I am primitive. I don’t have a proper measure, but I do have a scale. The judge asked, Then how do you weigh the butter?

The farmer replied, Your Honour since long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound of bread from him. Everyday, when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker.

The moral of the story: We get back in life what we give to others. Whenever you take an action, ask yourself this question: am I giving fair value for the wages or money I hope to make? Honesty and dishonesty become a habit.

Some people practise dishonesty and can lie with a straight face. Others lie so much that they don’t even know what the truth is any more. But who are they deceiving?

Themselves more than anyone else. Honesty can be put across gently. Some people take pride in being brutally honest and, in the process, hurt others. It seems they get a bigger kick out of the brutality than the honesty. The choice of words and tact are important while expressing the truth.

10/2–Can You Spare A Minute?

10/2–An old lady had a hearing-aid fitted, hidden underneath her hair.

A week later she returned to the doctor for her check-up.

It’s wonderful – I can hear everything now,” she reported very happily to the doctor.

And is your family pleased too?” asked the doctor.

Oh I haven’t told them yet,” said the old lady, “And I’ve changed my will twice already..”

10/1-Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.  

B. Franklin.

Story:

10/1—Will Rogers was known for his laughter, but he also knew how to weep. One day he was entertaining at the Milton H. Berry Institute in Los Angeles, a hospital that specialized in rehabilitating polio victims and people with broken backs and other extreme physical handicaps

Of course, Rogers had everybody laughing, even patients in really bad condition; but then he suddenly left the platform and went to the rest room. Milton Berry followed him to give him a towel; and when he opened the door, he saw Will Rogers leaning against the wall, sobbing like a child. He closed the door, and in a few minutes, Rogers appeared back on the platform, as jovial as before.

If you want to learn what a person is really like, ask three questions: What makes him laugh? What makes him angry? What makes him weep?

These are fairly good tests of character that are especially appropriate for Christian leaders. I hear people saying, “We need angry leaders today!” or “The time has come to practice militant Christianity!” Perhaps, but “the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God” (James 1:20).

What we need today is not anger but anguish, the kind of anguish that Moses displayed when he broke the two tablets of the law and then climbed the mountain to intercede for his people, or that Jesus displayed when He cleansed the temple and then wept over the city. The difference between anger and anguish is a broken heart. It’s easy to get angry, especially at somebody else’s mistakes, but it’s not easy to look at sin, our own included, and weep over it.

Warren W. Wiersbe, The Integrity Crisis, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1991, pp. 75-76.
