Years ago there was an interview about Mother Theresa who was in India caring for the dying.
In this particular interview, Mother Theresa was feeding a starving baby while reporters pestered her with comments such as: "You cannot save the dying, you are only one person, look at you care for one baby in the sea of many dying people. What is that you are doing… feeding one life?" and as they threw their insulting accusing anger towards her, Mother Teresa focused on the baby in her arms saying, "Look how he takes the bottle, look how he looks in my eyes, look how he is eating…"
She focused on hope and stood in the sea of suffering doing what she could:
A small stone cast causes ripples.
Those ripples spread forth regardless of what it will run into.
Casting our stone is a daily choice.
