The earth is a gift to us from God.
We should go out and enjoy it.
On this particular morning, I'm in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.
Looking out into the distance, I can't help but think about the glory God has bestowed upon us in creating this world.
So often we take it for granted.
We hustle throughout the day and don't take the time to appreciate the Lord's greatness.
How can we change that?
By going outside and slowly taking in a breath of fresh air.
By taking a walk and literally "touching grass."
There's a current idea of living a slow life.
We can do this by not rushing, taking our time, and appreciating what God has made for us.
The mountains are a gift to explore, the ocean a gift to relax by, the fields a gift for sustenance, and the valleys a gift for protection.
Let's enjoy every aspect of God's creation.
It's His gift to us.
