A caring that heals

Frederick H. Brightman

I Remember a story someone told about meeting a man walking along the beach one day who periodically stooped over to pick up starfish washed up on the sand. Each time, the man gently threw the starfish back into the sea. Noting his actions, an observer asked the man if it really made a difference, seeing that there were so many in need. The man looked at the starfish he had just picked up, and as he tossed it back into the water, he replied, "It does to this one."

The age calls for Christly caring.
