There was a man taking a morning walk on the beach. He saw that along with the morning tide came hundreds of starfish and when the tide receded, they were left behind and with the morning sun rays, they would die. The tide was fresh and the starfish were alive. The man took a few steps, picked one up and threw it into the water. He did that repeatedly. Right behind him there was another person who couldn't understand what this man was doing. He caught up with him and asked, "What are you doing? There are hundreds of starfish. How many can you help? What difference does it make?" This man did not reply, took two more steps, picked up another one, threw it into the water, and said, "It makes a difference to this one."

What difference are we making? Big or small, it does not matter. If everyone made a small difference, we'd end up with a big difference, wouldn't we?

Well said!

We do that here every day be it a good word or a good deal. If we carry it further to our personal lives who knows what could happen.

thanks preacher...on the way home from the wall in DC we saw this biker on the side of the road. We stopped as other bikers kept going by...guy with us had a tire kit that had that man up and fixed in 4 minutes...it takes thoughts into action when you choose to...

Very well put, thanks for sharing, preacher!

I wish I could take credit for the story, it's been around for a long time.

Just sharing another's wisdom.

Thanks well said,the smallest gesture can mean the world to someone else

Good karma Kai!
