Two Frogs

 

Two Frogs



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.

Every sinner has a FUTURE!

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
 As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
 Nor the lights or its decor.
 
But it was the folks in Heaven
 Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners and the trash.
 
There stood the kid from seventh grade
 Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
 Who never said anything nice.
 
Herb, who I always thought
 Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
 Looking incredibly well.
 
I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal?
 I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
 God must've made a mistake.
 
'And why is everyone so quiet,
 So somber - give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock.
 No one thought they'd be seeing you.'
 
JUDGE NOT!!
 
 
 
Every saint has a PAST...
Every sinner has a FUTURE!
