Happy Earth Day



Just wanted to wish you all a Happy Earth Day! Who knew there was such a day? With all this talk of global warming, debating if it’s getting hotter or colder, or what we are doing to the ozone layer, I think we miss the whole point – we miss out on giving the creator of the earth all the glory. We miss the things on this earth He placed here for us to enjoy. Take for example, the wet, dewy, almost snow like looking stuff right outside my window shining on the grass this morning. The tree behind it created the shadow so as not to let the frost melt before I saw it. What about those early cold mornings where you can see the low settling fog off in the distance encasing the low mountains and not quite high enough to reach the top tips of the others. What about the chiseled, and now snow covered mountains in Qwa Qwa (yes, the picture taken just yesterday when I was there). What about my warm blue ocean in Hawaii that I miss so much? What about the wild purple, pink, and white flowers that line our dirt road giving me an extra smile to God for placing them there for my pure enjoyment? There is so much on this earth to enjoy! Thanks God for creating such a beautiful earth – a place I can enjoy until I get to be with you. Earth Day – a great day to read again the account of Creation as told in Genesis 1.

God's beautiful creation indeed! South African mountains are a bit more "white" than the ones in Hawaii hey? :)
