Nature’s Gift
Friday, February 26
“The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims
God’s handiwork.” Psalm 19:1
Aren’t we blessed to live on such a beautiful planet? Not a day goes by
that I don’t lift up deep thanks to God for the beauty of our earthly home.
Nature plays a significant role in my Journey toward Wholeness. I
marvel at nature’s diversity and the interconnectedness of its various
ecosystems. It’s important to me to be outside at some point each and
every day. Being in nature restores our souls and ties us together with all
living things. It also bears witness to the imaginative wisdom of our
creator who has brought and continues to bring all things into being.
Thank you, God, for this beautiful earth we call our home. Enliven within
us an ardent desire to be faithful stewards of our planet and all its
creatures and plants and ecosystems. May we protect and sustain all
natural life so that generations to come may revel in your handiwork.
