What a subject......
There is a little trash in my neighborhood. Kids parties, some pop cans , building debris, blowing weeds,, etc, not much....thinking through this trash.....
One mans trash is another's treasure, the saying goes..
Limbs, yard debris becomes another's ground up mulch....
Trash in the landfill become another's methane gas.....
A pop can become another's nickel.....
Trashed Sorted papers becomes some one else's history....
Crushed cardboard becomes recycled paper or boxes....
Food garbage becomes compost or worm food or pig food.....or even people food....
Waste water becomes garden/lawn water.....
A seed fallen to the ground becomes a new plant......
It is said that the native Americans used everything of an animal except the noise....no trash at all....
When Jesus gave thanks for the food....nothing was wasted, it was picked up and used.....
Just think how He created us for fellowship, He saw that it was good, he prayed for us in The book of John,,,,,we weren't wasted....we weren't trashed....we became and are His treasure....He uses everything ........
John 6:11-13
11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
12 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, “Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.” 13 So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
Mark 14:3-11
3 While he was in Bethany, reclining at the table in the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very expensive perfume, made of pure nard. She broke the jar and poured the perfume on his head.
4 Some of those present were saying indignantly to one another, “Why this waste of perfume? 5 It could have been sold for more than a year’s wages[a] and the money given to the poor.” And they rebuked her harshly.
6 “Leave her alone,” said Jesus. “Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. 7 The poor you will always have with you,[b] and you can help them any time you want. But you will not always have me. 8 She did what she could. She poured perfume on my body beforehand to prepare for my burial. 9 Truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
