FAMILY DEVOTION: Earth Day

This week we celebrate Earth Day. On Sunday in Church the children reminded us of the importance of caring for the Earth. We talked about how one stack of newspapers 4 feet tall is the equivalent of one tree. Each time we recycle papers we are diminishing our impact on the God’s creation. This week talk about ways your family can lower its impact on the earth. Consider planting trees, talking about recycling, using less water, using less electricity, using less gas, cleaning up trash around the yard and neighborhood, notice how many toxic chemicals you use around the home. In church we mentioned how God asks humans in Genesis 2 to be tillers and keepers of the world that God created. That responsibility is passed down to us. Our teachings and example this week and in the weeks ahead will determine what we pass down to our children.
