Have you ever had someone borrow something of yours and break it? Or, someone borrowed something of yours and when you got it back, it wasn't exactly the way it was when you loaned it? Or, they didn't even bother to give it back? We have those in our society who treat everything as theirs, and everything is disposable.
Today is "Earth Day". It is a day that we should do something good for our planet, which is what I think we should do every day. Before you go thinking that I am something that I am not, allow me to assure you that I am not an extremist. I just think doing little things each day will add up. And, this Earth is a temporary home that we are borrowing.
Today's word is Psalm 24:1, NLT, which reads, "The earth is the LORD'S, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to Him."
So, the earth is the LORD'S; we are just borrowing it for a little while. Are we being good stewards of it while it is ours. I try not to litter. I try to not leave a mess wherever I go. I know that I don't like cleaning up others' messes and I don't want my children, my grandchildren, future generations to have to clean up after me. Again, not a radical, just practical.
I truly want to leave things better than what I found them. I want my kids to live in a nicer, safer, cleaner world than I grew up in. I doubt that is possible but I am going to try to do my part to ensure it. And, as with everything the LORD blesses me with, I want to be a good steward, which includes trying to take care of those things He has allowed me to borrow.
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
