The Starfish
As I walked on the beach one morning, I saw a young man picking up starfish from the sand and flinging them back into the sea.
I asked him what he was doing. "If I don't save them, they will die in the noonday sun," he replied.
"But there are thousands of starfish on this beach," I replied. "What difference does it make to save just a few?"
He looked down at the starfish in his hand and flung it to safety in the waves.
"It makes a big difference to this one!" he said.

Will you help us give this boy a future?
One among millions who cannot get to school because his parents cannot afford the tiny fee and cost of a uniform and books. With your help we are giving 4,500 such children a chance in life -- and a future to dream about.
Will you help us rescue more? It takes £10 or $15 a month to give a child an education in Pakistan. Make a gift and save a life
especially among Christians in Pakistan. We support the education of more than 4,000 children from poor families. We, who have so much, feel it a privilege to help those who have so little. We can't help everyone -- but we surely must help some! |
