맡겨진 세상: 하나님의 세계를 돌보며

A Gift to Keep

Have you ever been handed something precious to hold for someone else? Maybe a friend passed you a baby bird, or a brimming glass of water. You carry it gently, because the treasure is not really yours to keep. You are only guarding it safely for a little while. Many Christians believe the whole earth is a gift much like that. God made the world, called it good, and then trusted people to care for it.

Learning to Notice

Caring for creation always begins with paying close attention. A good caretaker looks slowly and asks quiet, curious questions. Where do the bees find their flowers in early spring? Why is the creek running lower than it did last year? When we truly notice the world, we begin to understand it. And when we understand, we start to care about what we once ignored.
