Thanking the Creator and taking care of the Creator’s creations

[Kanahele:]
When you live in the middle of the largest ocean in the world, and you happen to be on an island where no one in the world knew you existed, then you were not only a people, you were a nation, and there was nothing else in the world except you. And so you had a tendency of being all things to all people, to everyone, and the ultimate breach was that you would not be able to “malama,” you would not take care.
[Lindberg:]
But so the first thing is to use what you have.
[Kanahele:]
To use always—and to take good care of it. That’s the first thing. Not to use it, but to take care of it and to make sure that as you use it that you will always thank the Creator for the ability to have it.
[Kanahele:]
Thank the Creator for the ability to have the knowledge to implement it, and ultimately thank the Creator that you are the intermediary between his hand and your hand to heal.
