Who knows, maybe next year, you will be walking down the steps from the plane, looking forward to your appointment with Jesus in Tegucigalpa, Honduras with a group of missionaries. I hope so, as you will be surprised by how much God has to teach you, if you watch, listen and pray. | |||

The story of the starfish
Once
upon a time there was a wise man
who used to go to the ocean
to do his writing.
He had a habit of walking
on the beach
before he began his work.
One
day he was walking along
the shore.
As he looked down the beach,
he saw a human
figure moving like a dancer.
He
smiled to himself to think
of someone who would
dance to the day.
So he began to walk faster
to catch up.
As
he got closer, he saw
that it was a young man
and the young man wasn't dancing,
but instead he was reaching
down to the shore,
picking up something
and very gently throwing it
into the ocean.
As
he got closer he called out,
"Good morning! What are you doing?"
The
young man paused,
looked up and replied,
"Throwing starfish in the ocean."
"I
guess I should have asked,
why are you throwing starfish
in the ocean?"
"The
sun is up and the tide is going out.
And if I don't throw them in they'll die."
"But,
young man, don't you realize that
there are miles and miles of beach
and starfish all along it.
You can't possibly make a difference!"
The
young man listened politely.
Then bent down, picked up another starfish
and threw it into the sea,
past the breaking waves and said-
"It made a difference for that one."
