The ocean is made up of millions of drops of water. We don’t think much about how those drops add up to the whole.  Yet, the ocean would be missing some of its magnificence if it did not have all the drops of water it was meant to have.  The baseline ridges of the ocean create an outline for the flow of the water when the drops are working together.  Think of how much pleasure we derive from letting ourselves be held by the ocean or ride the waves.  Even when the moon pulls the tides, the ocean does not break apart into separate drops. We are all drops in each others lives and play a significant contribution.  How much is one drop of water worth to someone who is dying of thirst?  How many times during the course of the day is our presence that drop and the people we encounter the thirsty one?  If we can offer a drop of who we are to one another through the simple acknowledgment of the eyes or a smile, we can create an ocean of people who just might be able to work together for magnificence.  God designed us at our core to be in relationship and work with one another.  We are often too busy paying attention to how we do not seem to mesh well and lose sight of the fact that we all have a heart, a mind, and a soul.  We are not only our outside appearance.  By connecting with others in simple small ways we can be the profound difference between dying of thirst and quenching thirst.
