Earth Day (April 22) is a time to remember that our planet is a generous gift from a loving Heavenly Father who wants us to learn how to work with Him in the cultivation and care of all things. Just as Adam and Eve worked with God to care for the Garden of Eden, we are likewise called to be good stewards by nourishing and expanding the resources with which we have been entrusted. Take time today to read the following verses Genesis 1:28, Genesis 39:3-9, 1 Thessalonians 3:9-10. Consider how you can become a better steward of the earth, of things, and of people.
