HOW BIG IS ONE?

As a man walked a desolate beach one cold, gray morning he began to see another figure, far in the distance. Slowly the two approached each other, and he could make out a local native who kept leaning down, picking something up and throwing it out into the water. Time and again he hurled things
into the ocean.

As the distance between them continued to narrow, the man could see that the native was picking up starfish that had been washed upon the beach and, one at a time, was throwing them
back into the water.

Puzzled, the man approached the native and asked what he was doing. "I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide right now and all of these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If I don't throw them back into the sea, they'll die up here from lack of oxygen."

"But there must be thousands of starfish on this beach," the man replied. "You can't possibly get to all of them. There are just too many. And this same thing is probably happening on hundreds of beaches all up and down this coast. Can't you see that you can't possibly make a difference?"

The local native smiled, bent down and picked up another starfish, and as he threw it back into the sea he replied, "Made a difference to that one!"

Each of us is but one person: limited, burdened with our own cares and responsibilities. We may feel there is so much to be done, and we have so little to give. We're usually short of everything, especially time and money. When we leave this shore, there will still be millions of starfish stranded on the beach. Maybe we can't change the whole world, but there isn't one of us who can't help change one person's whole world. One at a time.
We can make a difference.

Prayer for the Israel Defense Forces

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep safe both of your sons, Alouette.

[Kathy in Alaska]

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good Sunday to you, redrock. And thank you for your service to America.

[SevenofNine]

Well well UK Sunday Telegraph that Hezollah is plan to whack new PLO leader Abba reason is they dont' want peace DUH

Also Wash Post reporting that US is using drone plane to spy on Iran
Speaking of Iran Sunday UK times is reporting that Brits don't want us go after Iran in smackdown raid

If we don't do it according to UK Sunday Times Israel might

Also another report off Sky News that building that on fire in Spain well luckly there is no injuries but some of firefighters has been hospitlzed for smoke inhaltion

And BBC wire reporting that massive protest happen in Moscow Russia today over cut back on benefits to Moscow workers and 20 Russians were busted by Moscow cops

[SandRat]

Good Choice of Hymns.

[luvie]

I always get joy out of reading that there are protests in Russia! For so long they had no voice at all. And, yes some people were busted by the Moscow cops, but imagine what would have happened before Reagan made them blink!

[uncleshag]

Thanks, SandRat.

Enjoy the show!
