February 2012 CAN ONE PERSON MAKE A DIFERENCE? A story that many have probably heard before, but sometimes we forget that one person
can and often DOES make a difference. As the old man walked the
beach at dawn he noticed a boy ahead of him picking up starfish and
flinging them into the sea. Finally, catching up with him, he
asked him why he was doing this. The answer was that the stranded
starfish would die if left in the morning sun. “But the beach goes
on for miles and there are millions of starfish,” countered the old
man, “how can your effort make any difference?” The young man
looked at the starfish in his hand and then threw it to the safety of
the waves. “It makes a difference to this one,” he said.PRAYER THOUGHTS FOR FEBRUARY "The
relationship between God and each soul is as distinct and full as
though there were not another soul upon the earth to share His
watchcare, not another soul for whom He gave His beloved Son." "Prayer is the opening of the heart to God as to a friend. Not that it is necessary, in order to make known to God what we are, but in order to enable us to receive Him. Prayer does not bring God down to us, but brings us up to Him." "Prayer is the key in the hand of faith to unlock heaven's storehouse, where are treasured the boundless resources of Omnipotence." “Our silent prayers rise like precious incense before the throne of grace."
