The Starfish I awoke early, as I often did, just before sunrise, to walk by the ocean's edge and greet the new day. As I moved through the morning dawn, I focused on a faint, far away motion. I saw a youth, bending and reaching and flailing arms, dancing on the beach, no doubt in celebration of the perfect day soon to begin. As I approached, I realized that the youth was not dancing to the bay, but rather bending to sift through the debris left by the night's tide, stopping now and then to pick up starfish and then standing, to heave it back into the sea. I asked the youth the purpose of the effort."The tide has washed the starfish onto the beach and they cannot return to the sea by themselves," the youth replied."When the sun rises, they will die, unless I throw them back into the sea." As the youth explained, I surveyed the vast expanse of beach, stretching in both directions beyond eyesight. Starfish littered the shore in numbers beyond calculation. The hopelessness of the youth's plan became clear to me and I countered,"But there are more starfish on this beach than you can ever save before the sun is up. Surely you cannot expect to make a difference." The youth paused briefly to consider my words, bent to pick up a starfish and threw it as far as possible. Turning to me he simply said, "I made a difference to that ONE."Have a Great WeekHugsssssssDon

God Is Painting The Sky The little girl said with a tear in her eyeWhere is the sunshine that was up in the sky?Mama answered with an encouraging smileOnly God knows the answer my child.God has a plan and I know for surePlease don't feel sad, He'll send the right cure,Suddenly the little girl giggled out loudAs a cooling breeze blew away the darkened cloud.There in its place appeared a rainbow so brightIt was truly an incredible, heartwarming sight,A promise God had made a long time agoDecorated the Texas sky with a colorful glow.Mama, she said, God is painting the sky!Then the little girl pointed to the rainbow so high,Mama whispered, God has special brushes to make it so largeThe rainbow helps us remember who is always in charge.The little girl reached out to take Mama's handAs the sunshine began to cover this Texas land,Mama always knows, the little girl thought with loveAs they walked hand in hand, enjoying the rainbow above.

THE VALLEYYea, though I walk through the valley... Psalm 23:4Lord, I asked for mountains,But You gave me the valley;I asked for blessed fountains,But You gave me seasons dry. Lord, I asked for the level plain,But You gave me the low place.I asked for freedom from pain,But You gave me grace to bear. Lord, I asked for the cool breeze,But the sweltering heat You gave.In the valley You brought me to my kneesThat I might beheld the Lily there. Lord, I asked to understand,But You taught me to trust:That all that comes through Your HandIs the best for me.Lord, help me to rest in all Your waysBeing confident that all is well.As we receive grace all our days,Even in the valley the Lily is there.Have A Great NightHugssssssDon
