Strange things in the sky today. I marvel when I think about an eclipse. Today, the moon may hide the sun, but it’s still there, after all these years. The moon with his funny face peeks at us often from a bank of clouds threatening to hide him. We get to see all those different shapes of the moon as it moves quietly through its phases.
How often we take things in our natural world for granted. We think what always was will always be. Not so now with Climate Change threatening. Perhaps we should pay closer attention. For example, I thank God for trees. I’ve always loved them, from Blue Spruce to Redwoods. What about grass? Are you aware of how many species of grass there are in this world? What about water? So many people die from a lack of good drinking water. Children especially.
What am I doing to help save the earth? To save the children? There are things we can do to make differences in the way we treat children as well as the earth. Knowing more about it should help. The meterorlogists are explaining the Eclipse to us by the minute. Explain away. I’m still trying to learn something every single day.
Psalms 8:3-6 “When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; 4. What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5. For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and has crowned him with glory and honor. 6. Thou madest him to have dominion over thy works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet.”
Psalm 24:1 “The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 2. For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.”
