God's Wonder

Throughout the past couple of class periods we have read all kinds of poems regarding nature. To be honest I was not really looking forward to wasting an hour of my time talking about the trees. I guess this kind of mindest has come from our worlds"go green" campaign. Lately, I've been feeling as if people are treating nature as if it's the most important thing happening in our world right now. It's frustrating to watch people throw down their bodies right in front of a tree and risk their own life in order to save the dear tree's life. What I really would like to say is why our people putting all of this energy into saving nature while there are thousands of babies being murdered from abortion everyday or what about the homeless on the street who have no food or clothing? This is what we need to concentrate on... REAL people. Trees do not have a soul but people do and yet so many people are getting too wrapped up on saving the planet from global warming. This is the mindset I have had for a long time and I still somewhat do but from reading these poems and looking at photos of nature I feel as if some of my mindset has shifted a little bit. I have not taken the time to appreciate God's beautiful and majestic creation. From the mountains to the oceans, there is such a beautiful work of art that is entailed in this world. In every state and country there seems to be a different scene that is beautiful in its own way. I have seen pictures of nature that has absolutely taken my breath away and I can't help but thank God for placing me in His beautiful masterpiece. I believe He wants me to see His creation of nature and see that no one else can create this but God. How can people not believe in a God after seeing all that He has created? While I still stand firm to the matter that we need to concentrate more on the people that are hurting rather than our planet, I feel that it's time I stop and take in my surroundings. God gave me an amazing gift of His creation and it's up to me to choose how I want to appreciate it.
