Day 12 - Life's Foundations

I decided quite early on that I would not count any acts of kindness I do for my family or for my faith.
Like foundations of a house, that you know are there but cannot see, so it is with my family and faith. They are the foundations of my life and all service and 'acts of kindness' are built upon them.

However, I did not want to waste this Blog so I found a wonderful quote to share with you:

“Many small people, in many small places, do many small things, which can alter the face of the world.”

Motivation for ‘’My Ten-a-day’

One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean.
Approaching the boy, he asked, “What are you doing?”
The youth replied, “Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them back, they’ll die.”
“Son,” the man said, “don’t you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can’t make a difference!”After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish,
and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said, “I made a difference for that one.”
