The Starfish Story

I'm just going to blog about this little short story replacing what I wrote this morning...

I hope this can be a blessing...

As an old man walked the beach at dawn,

he noticed a boy ahead of him picking up

starfish and flinging them into the sea.

Finally catching up with the boy,

he asked why he was doing this.

The answer was that the stranded starfish would

die if left until the morning sun.

"But the beach goes on for miles and there are

millions of starfish," said the old man.

"How can your effort make any difference?"

The boy looked at the starfish in his hand

and then threw it safely to the waves.

"It makes a difference to this one," he said.

Often we're tired and wanted to give up. But to be a blessing is priceless... one person at a time...

And I re-quote what Pastor Andreas of MDC and Pastor Kong of CHC said: "People don't care how much you know, untill they know how much you care."
