Romans 15:4
For everything that was written
in the past was written to teach us,
so that through endurance and the
encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

"It Made A Difference For That One."

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, as he was walking along the shore,
he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer.
He smiled to himself at the thought of someone
who would dance to the day, and so,
he walked faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man,
and that what he was doing was not dancing at all.
The young man was reaching down to the shore,
picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.

He came closer still and called out "Good morning!
May I ask what it is that you are doing?"

The young man paused, looked up, and replied
"Throwing starfish into the ocean."

"I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?"
asked the somewhat startled wise man.

To this, the young man replied,
"The sun is up and the tide is going out.
If I don't throw them in, they'll die."

Upon hearing this, the wise man commented,
"But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach
and there are starfish all along every mile?
You can't possibly make a difference!"

At this, the young man bent down,
picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean.
As it met the water, he said, "It made a difference for that one."

Let's Help Them Find Their Smile
By Connie Ciccone
Today Lord, as we walk along,
Please guide the words I say.
Oh, lead me to that special one,
That I may help today.

I know there must be lonely souls,
That need a special friend.
Someone who asked in fervent prayer,
For someone you may send.

Give me the perfect words to say,
To tell them of your love.
A greater love they have never known,
You Love From Up above.

Concern for them is in my heart,
I lift them up to you.
Oh, let them feel your precious love,
So they may know you too!

Please help me find the words to say,
To make them feel worthwhile,
Then I know that you and I,
Have Helped Them Find Their Smile
Let's Help Them Find Their Smile
