International frog sounds!
from Daily Picture Hosted by Stephanie Hawkins
Today a frog has come to my mind's eye and, in a funny sense, I have thought of the different sounds that different countries attribute to a frog. The English say "ribbit ribbit" and "croak". Meanwhile, I have read of many others, such as French coâ coâ , German quak quak, Japanese kero kero, Korean gaegul gaegul etc. As we get older we find ourselves unable to pronounce certain sounds made in other languages. This has caused me to reflect on the limitations we have in understanding another person because we have not experienced their past. Despite lack of understanding and experience of another, let us show sympathy, patience and love to all. There are many bible verses reminding us of this, one being: "Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble" (1 Peter 3:8).
