Earth Day

Today is April 22 - a day noted on our calendars as Earth Day. The boys and I enjoyed the outdoors at the playground with good friends, and we talked about ways that we can help take care of the Earth. I'll save the fossil-making until tomorrow. And this evening I was reminded of the Creator. I was driving home from church and listening to "You're Beautiful" by Phil Wickham. The first line is "I see Your face in every sunrise." You get the gist. It brought tears to my eyes as I was driving along and seeing the trees, the spring flowers, and the bright pink sky as the sun set. I turned to check on Aaron, and saw God in his beautiful little face. Isn't it wonderful that I can see the face of God the Creator in the faces of my husband, my children, my family and friends? That HE is all around us! What an awesome and beautiful God we have!
As I was talking to Elliott about the sunset, I told him that God created this Earth and that we can see Him every time we look at His Creation. And we can help take care of it. What an honor to care for the Earth that God imagined and spoke into being.
