Story

http://dlsu.academia.edu/MariaCristinaSantos
A young boy
walks along the
shore of a
beach.
“What are you doing?”
the young boy asks.
“I’m throwing the starfish
into the sea,” replies the
old man.
“But there must be millions
of starfish on the beach!”
exclaims the young boy.
“How can you make any
difference?”
KEY POINTS
• Every person we meet is like a starfish.
• Even if others don’t think you can make a
difference, never give up.
• You can make a difference, one person at a
time.
• You are the caretaker of the starfish. Care for
them everyday.
KEY POINTS:
• Never underestimate the power of your
actions.
• With one small gesture you can change a
person's life---for better or for worse.
• God puts us all in each other's lives to
impact one another in some way.
• Look for God in others.
If you are
going to
leave a mark:
“How would
you like to
be
remembered
?”
