"It Is Good"

Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation; seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. The land produced vegetation; plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:11-12
My Dear Child,
On the day that I created trees, plants, flowers and every kind of vegetation, I took time to look at my completed creation and saw that it was good.
When was the last time that you looked -- really looked -- at all the lush vegetation all around you and studied the work of my hands? Have you noticed the intricacies of flowers, and studied both the consistency and variety of their colors? Have you noticed how the backdrop of green in the leaves and grass accentuates their beauty?
The next time you are out for a walk, take a look at all the trees beginning to bud. During the cold winter months, the trees looked dead and void of life, but they were anything but dead. This is the perfect time of year to appreciate my faithfulness to bring about the seasons and to watch their effects on plants. Talk to your children about the wonder of my creation, and get them thinking about me.
The next time you bite into a juicy apple, think of me and thank me for the health-giving enjoyment you are getting from it.
Today as you are going about your business, take time to look around at my creation of vegetation and take in the wonder and beauty of it. Ask me to open your eyes so you can see the wonder and beauty all around you and appreciate it. It was created for your benefit and for your enjoyment.
Your Loving Father,
God
