In our book, The Restorative Power of Spirit: Poems of Faith and Hope, we honor our connection to the natural world and the loving presence of God and his angels in all that we see and do. Yesterday as we celebrated Thanksgiving, I reflected on the many blessings in my life and the happy memories we have shared as a family. Some of my favorite times have been those spent outdoors. There is something magical about seeing the world through a child’s eyes.
I have only experienced a tiny fraction of this beautiful planet, but I am in awe of the incredible diversity of life that calls this sacred space home. As we celebrate the holiday season, let us take time to appreciate one another and our connection to all life. We can positively shape our future by treading gently upon the Earth and taking steps to preserve the beauty that surrounds us. I pray that we will be good stewards of our planet not only for our children, but for future generations.
Blessings,
