One at a time…

Starfish parable...it matters to this one...

You know not having my own laptop/Computer has been a real pain as I have to try and spread my time in the internet between catching up, blogging and all types of ´research´ that affect my past, present and future! I have a few things and events I´d like to blog about, but just as I was thinking about getting stuck in, I got a call from one of my girls reminding me that I said I´d come see her and her sister today (not that I forgot) and telling me her siblings also really want to see me before I head back, a dear family I also helped alot in the past. So once again the blogging has been pushed back!

But before I rush off, I wanted to write something, as somethings been rolling around my mind, and resting in my heart alot lately..and thats the affect of one person on another person and how that affect can be quite life changing! I watched a DVD here at a friends house, from my church Hillsong and was reminded of a quote from Helen Keller An American Political (and social) Activist and who also ´happened´ to be deaf AND blind, the quote (which I´ll end with) really resinates with me as its exactly my heart as one single person, who is trying to reach one single person..at a time! As my blog title says ´Helping Street Kids…One at A Time´ Sometimes the need is so overwhelming that I feel like my drop in the ocean means nothing..but in the words of another great women, Mother Teresa the ocean would have less drop without (my drop!) it (paraphrased). So as I end with this quote, before rushing around to do all I can in my short time here and wondering what long term affect it can really have and if what I do really counts..I calm my mind with this quote….

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.”

Helen Keller

till next time blogging pals..off to do the something that I can!
