This view of a glacier above and a mountain goat below is from the Hidden Lake area of Glacier National Park. We counted ourselves lucky to get good weather for a chance to see this spot.
It is interesting to think about how God provides an environment for us to live. There are so many fascinating features of nature that it is impossible to count how many ways God provides for our needs. In this image there is snow and water that give a regular flow of the essential liquid. It has mountains that hold the snow and also provides material through erosion to give soil in the lowlands for planting food. There are wild plants for animals to eat.
Ultimately, nature gives us an environment where we can interact with each other. If we were just intelligent entities on a smooth round planet, it would be pretty boring.
Let’s use the gift of our environment to make good and loving choices as we work with people around us.
