Oh, What a Beautiful Day!

And a beautiful day it is! Have you been outside today? Its gorgeous. At least in my neck of the woods. Its a  perfect day for a celebration - my favorite celebration.

Today is Earth Day.

Every year on April 22nd the world celebrates Earth Day. It is a day to take time to appreciate the beauty of the earth and raise awareness for its environment.

Earth day is a tricky holiday. A lot of the time people associate "saving the earth" with a bunch of wacko people who worship the trees and that kind of attitude. But we shouldn't think of it that way at all. Especially if we are Christians. God tells us all throughout the Bible that we are to take care of the earth.

Psalms 8:6-9 says ~ "You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, All sheep and oxen—Even the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas. O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!"

He put the earth under our care. He created it and made it perfect and beautiful. It is our responsibility to keep it that way. I like to think of earth day as a reminder of that. A day where we think to thank God for his creation and purpose to take care of it.

Enjoy these beautiful pictures of our incredible earth.

Which landscape is your favorite?

Wherever you are take the time to enjoy this beautiful day and appreciate all that God created! We live in a magnificent world! Remember to care for it.

Until next time,
