Reflection

“For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.” ~Martin Luther King Jr.

Prayer

God of creation,

The beauty of each tree in our world is due to your creative hands.  There are many wonderful gifts given through trees; shade on a hot afternoon, oxygen in order to breathe, a home for many of your creatures. Nature’s bounty of beautiful trees is something for which we are eternally grateful.  Help us to preserve these wonderful resources that you have entrusted to us. Amen.

Call to Action

When was the last time I sat under a tree for a period of time enjoying its presence?  Perhaps it is time for me to walk outside for a time of enjoyment.
