God has gifted us with so much.
A world of beauty
With all we need –
food, water shelter
companionship, creativity, education –
God has blessed us with so many gifts;
What can we give in return?
Take care of the earth,
Walk gently with creation,
Taking only what you need,
Using all you take.
Live with compassion,
Support your friends and neighbours,
Share what you have with those in need,
Work for the betterment of others.
Give thanks and be grateful,
Praise God for the gifts you were given,
Celebrate the good things in life,
Recognize you have the strength to overcome the challenges.
Caring for creation,
Creating communities of support,
And seeing God’s gift in all things,
Surely this is all God asks of you.
