I am Blessed to be a Caretaker of the Earth.
This Earth Day, I take time to recognize that I have a responsibility to this planet as one of its stewards. The abundance of God is all around me. As new leaves sprout and the flowers come into bloom again, I am awestruck. The majesty of the mountains, the songs of the birds, the oceans, lakes, rivers, and the plentiful land replete with delicious vegetables and fruits, a kingdom shared with animals of all kinds—they are a part of me, just as I am a part of the world that I inhabit. We are one. My eyes are open to the oneness of all life. I fully accept, with ease and grace, my role as a caretaker. I care for my surroundings, not just for my sake, but for all who dwell here in the present and for generations to come.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice.—Psalm 96:11
