Hands For God
God's Creation needs our help
Not far from me lies 400 acres of beautiful forest. It was sold, by
people
who should know better, to become another development.
Each year more and more of God's Creation is sullied by developers who
want quick and easy money. The owners of these lands are either
desperate, don't care (as in this case)
or are ignorant of the impact on God's Creation. Steadily we're losing
farm, field and forest to greed, ignorance or desperation.
God gave us beauty in Creation so that we could understand His Creative
Mind and because He loves us and wants us to know this. The beauty He
has provided for us reflects His love for us.
We MUST preserve His Gifts! We must be Stewards of God's Creation!
Be a
Hand for God for our Earth:
* Try your best to live a sustainable lifestyle
* Speak out to your churches and your local governments and be a VOICE
for GOD. Even when no one listens (as in my case), you are being a Hand
for God by planting a small seed SOMEWHERE
* Don't take the easy, lazy road to life. Don't be a consumer; be a
preserver, a teacher and creator of beauty.
* Find a charity for ecological concerns that you feel comfortable
donating your money and time to.
* Buy books for local school libraries on travel, nature and wildlife
so that children
don't grow up in ignorance of God's Gifts.
* Take a child for a walk in nature.
* Pray for America's last wild places; the small ones as well as the
large ones.
Thank you for caring!
God bless you!
