Thousands of starfish washed ashore. A little girl picked up a starfish to throw it back in the water so it would not die. “Don’t bother, dear,” her mother said, “Look how many there are. You won’t make a difference.” The girl stopped for a moment and looked at the starfish in her hand, and then replied, "It will make a difference to this one."
Sometimes we are overwhelmed by the needs around us, not to mention the needs around the world. But our job is not to save the world -- that is God's job -- ours is to simply see the one, love the one, and do what we feel called to do for the one. One person at a time. One day at a time.
