I do not know where this little story came from but it is one I have heard many times. It trult resonnates with where we are right now....in the midst of "making a difference" in a child's life. Believe it or not, I have had several people ask me if we are trying to save the world or tell us we can't make that big of a difference with just our family. This simple story is so perfect!
A little girl was walking along a beach that was covered with thousands of starfish left dying in the sun by the receding tide. Seeking to help, she picked up a starfish and tossed it back into the ocean.
A man, assumed by her action, said to her, “Little girl, there are to many starfish. You will never make a difference.” Discouraged, she began to walk away. Suddenly, she turned around, picked up another starfish, and tossed it as far as she could back into the sea. Turning to the man, she smiled and said, “I made a difference to that one!”
The man looked at the girl inquisitively and thought about what she had done. Inspired, he joined the little girl in throwing the starfish back into the sea. Soon others joined and all the starfish were saved.
