A Starfish Story

At the recent Optimist International Regional Conference in Denver, President Ronnie Dunn told a story about a little boy walking on the sea shore with his Father. As they walked along they noticed that there were thousands and thousands of starfish washed upon the beach. The little boy stopped and picked up a starfish and threw it back into the ocean. Then, he picked up another starfish and threw it back into the sea. His Father stopped the little boy and said you can't possibly make a difference to all the starfish on the beach." The little boy looked up to his Father and said, "I made a differnce to the one's I threw back." Honesty from the mouths of babes. Have you found that one starfish in your life you can make a difference with today-everyday? Look around. It may be just a random act of kindness or it could be something you already do, yet, you don't preceive it as special. Find a Starfish everyday.
