In case you have been ignoring the news (due to the teachers strike) you may have not heard that we are in Arbor Week. Yes, it's the time of the year when we remember the importance of trees, plants and flowers.
As children of God, we have an important mandate to care for our environment. I believe God will keep us accountable for the way we treated each other (as human beings) and for the way we have treated His creation. So, if you haven't had a chance do something creative and memorable this Arbor Week try and do something today. Worst case, just hug a tree and thank God for His creation. I am sure your neighbours won't think you are too crazy.
Genesis 1:11-12 - "Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good."
Ezekiel 47:12 - "Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing."
Have an awesome weekend.
Living in Grace,
