I was feeling so overwhelmed yesterday that even though we are helping, it seems so small compared to the need.
Another pastor told me a story that encouraged me:
A little boy came across a beach that had thousands of starfish that had washed ashore. He began to throw them back into the ocean one by one. An adult came along and told him that there were too many starfish, so he wasn’t going to make a difference. The little boy picked up a starfish and threw it back into the ocean and said to the adult, “I made a difference to that one.” He threw another, “I made a difference to that one”.
What we are doing seems so small sometimes, but we are trying the best we can to make a difference, one starfish at a time, I mean one person at a time…
