Caretakers of Creation

"The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it."

Reflection

God made a beautiful world and trusted us to care for it! Looking after plants, animals and the environment is a way of honoring the One who made it all.

Prayer

Father, help me care for the world You created. Amen!
