Blog Post 5/05/2024 – The Starfish and our Crosses

 


God grant us the Grace to offer up our hardships and crosses to You, bless them and make Good come from them.

 

Maybe this story can help us, The Starfish A young girl was walking along a beach upon which thousands of starfish had been washed up during a terrible storm.  When she came to a starfish, she would pick it up, and throw it back into the ocean.  People watched her with amusement.  She had been doing this for some time when a man approached her and said, “Little girl, why are you doing this?  I am helping this Starfish.  

 

Look at this beach!  You can’t save all these starfish.  You can’t begin to make a difference!” After reflecting for a few moments, she bent down, picked up another starfish, and hurled it as far as she could into the ocean.  Then she looked up at the man & said, “Well, I made a difference to that one!”   [Adapted from 'The Star Thrower' by Loren C. Eiseley]

 

May God Be Praised.
