the earth and all its blessings

"The earth is the Lord's

and all that is in it,

the world,

and those who live in it."

~ Psalm 24:1 ~

 

from Daily Word, April 22, 2015

 

"Today I recognize and appreciate how the earth blesses me.

As I stop to smell the flowers, I breathe out a thank you for their sweet scent. I place my hand on a tree and acknowledge its service of shelter and shade. During a rain shower, I envision the interconnection of the rivers, lakes and oceans nourishing and supporting all living things.

 

I bless all the creatures of the earth, from the bee who pollinates the crops that become my food, to the graceful giraffe who reminds me to elevate my perspective. I witness the joy of a squirrel burying an acorn and wonder about the tree the acorn may become. I am one with the earth's inhabitants, and I honor them all."
