God Says to Take Care of the Earth

Hi, It has been some time since I posted. I have been blogging on some of the other social networks writing about the environment and this beautiful planet we all call home; the only home we have. I usually only write about spiritual aspects of life here at Live in Joy; my original love and my first blog from 2006.

One of my passions is studying what the original Hebrew and Greek words in scripture actually meant. One of these is "take care" at Genesis --- It is not to be taken lightly. It means to care to the extent of cherishing as a mother for her child. It means to tenderly watch over, not letting any harm come to it whatsoever, and so much more.

Are we really "taking care" of the earth as is commanded of us in Genesis. Take a quick peak at http://www.yourlifeandhome.wordpress.com/ and read about some of the things people are doing to this home of ours, and the legacy we will leave to our children if we don't change our daily habits.

We all desire joy in the lives of our children and in the lives of the many generations to come. So to fulfill that wish, let's be wise, and careful to live without unecessary waste and pollution such as plastic bottles. Those plastic bottles are mounting up to the tune of billions and billions every year. And, that plastic pollution will not go away for 1,000 years! Incredible and somewhat scary, isn't it? So much is being dumped into the oceans affecting life.

I'm optimistic enough, however, to believe that we can make a difference individually and collectively. It's not too late. Let's help each child growing up to live in joy and prosperity and to realize their dreams in a beautiful, well cared for world just as we have been blessed to enjoy.

Blessings to all,
Donna

Earth Month

This post is dedicated to Earth Month and the upcoming Earth Day, April 22nd. I can't help but bring attention to this event. In order to truly Live in Joy on this beautiful planet we all call home, our home has to be the best we can possibly help to make it.

The scripture in Genesis 2:14, says."Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it."

That word "keep" is a very special word. It means to care for something so gently and so completely. It means to make sure that no harm comes to it, to cherish it. That was the command that God gave to man. That was man's responsibility, our responsibility.

Let's all take notice of the things that are happening to our "home" which is the only one we have, and do what we can to "keep it." What we do to the earth, we do to ourselves. By making sure we do our part, we will not only live in joy here, but we will give our children, grandchildren, and future generations to come a beautiful, safe, healthy world in which to live and enjoy life as we have had the priviledge of doing.
