2010/03/02 Day 12 of Lent 大齋期第12日

This is my Father's world, the birds their carols raise 這是天父世界，群鳥歡唱齊鳴

Day 12 of Lent   2 March 2010 (Tuesday)

Hymn Meditation> 'This Is My Father’s World'

This is my Father's world, the birds their carols raise, the morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker's praise.
This is my Father's world: He shines in all that's fair; in the rustling grass I hear Him pass; He speaks to me everywhere.

Read the message and teaching about God’s care for all creation in Luke 12:22-34.

Carbon Fast
> Thanksgiving
All creation witness God as the provider of this world. He has provided everything we need, and even more and better than what we desire. Let us put our hope in God and give thanks for His daily provision.
> ‘Live out Simplicity’ (Clothing)
Please count the number of your spring and summer clothes to see whether they are sufficient for this spring and summer. If you do need to buy some new clothes, please choose those produced with less carbon emission, such as simple and natural material, with less chemical processing and made in Hong Kong or places nearby.

For details of the Carbon Fast, please visit CEDAR 'I Love, I Reflect' Carbon Fast.

大齋期第12日　2010年3月2日（星期二）

默想詩歌＞《這是天父世界》

這是天父世界，群鳥歡唱齊鳴，
清晨明亮，百花美麗，證明創造精深。
這是天父世界，祂愛普及萬千，
風吹草聲，知祂經過，隨處能聽祂言。

細閱路加福音十二章22-34節，看看神悉心照顧萬物給予我們甚麼提醒和教導。

減碳行動
＞讚美
地上萬物同證神是這世界的供應者，我們所需用的一切，祂早已預備，甚至遠比我們所求的更豐富和美好。願意我們同心仰望、感恩領受祂每日的豐富供應。
＞「一切從簡」（衣）
建議你今天細心數算去年春、夏季的衣服，看看是否足夠今年穿著。若真的需要購置新衣，請選購整個生產過程碳排量較少的衣物，例如採用簡單和自然的質料、經過較少化學製作程序，以及在本地或鄰近地區生產。
