It Made a Difference to That One

Most of you have probably heard that story about the little boy walking along the beach, picking up starfish and throwing them back in the ocean. An older man comes along and says to the boy, "There are thousands of starfish on the shore that will die if they do not make it back into the ocean. Why are you doing this?"
The little boy smiles as he picks one up and thows it back to the ocean and says, "It made a difference to that one."

Boy, have we felt that way this week. The need is so great, we cannot begin to even express it. We pray that our stories, pictures, and videos help, but as we head home to tell you about it all...please bear with us. We want to capture your hearts the same way ours have been. There has been so much to process and comprehend in our minds and hearts. It will take us time....and different points of view will come at different times.

Even so, we are so excited to be coming home and to share! Although there were so many we could not help...and we have and still are grieving for those people...we made a difference to that one.

See you all very soon.

We love you,
