Wow, back to back sunny days. What a gift. My wife and I spent most of yesterday doing yard work, a gateway drug to appreciative good health. We should all be involved in making much of the earth we are given. Making much of the earth makes much of us and, whether or not you believe, it is a grand stance of obedience to God. His plan is for humans to care for the earth, the Bible records His command thus; “Multiply and fill the earth and subdue it;”. Subdue means to make the earth serve us. We all know of examples of where this has gone disastrously wrong but just because people mess up doesn’t mean His command is any less a command. Perhaps the greatest fulfillment of that command is to allow the earth to do what it does best, grow things, and then help it to grow the things you enjoy like trees, flowers, green grass, fruits, vegetables and moss. The added benefit is its narcotic effect on your attitude.
