Earth Day

 There is something innate in humans that draws our eyes toward the heavens.  Rainbows, starry nights, sunsets, sunrises.  It's as if we recognize the Creator's style, touch and signature saying look here, be still.  And know that I am God.  

President Nelson has testified, "The Creation itself testifies of a Creator. We cannot disregard the divine in the Creation. Without our grateful awareness of God’s hand in the Creation, we would be just as oblivious to our provider as are goldfish swimming in a bowl. With deep gratitude, we echo the words of the Psalmist, who said, “O Lord, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.” 

How do we show our gratitude for this home which we were given? 

President Nelson continues, "As beneficiaries of the divine Creation, what shall we do? We should care for the earth, be wise stewards over it, and preserve it for future generations."

I would add that we also shouldn't take it for granted.  Explore, wander, feel, experience, discover, soothe, relax and restore.  So much of what we truly need is waiting just outside the door!
