Wise Stewards

"We owe it to our children to be better stewards of the environment. The alternative? - a world without whales. It's too terrible to imagine." ~ Pierce Brosnan

As I was flipping through materials yesterday, I came across some photos of my time with German friends, Susanne and Jurgen, in Cape Cod. We had an AMAZING whale watching tour one day. I had been on whale watching excursions on both the east and west coasts but I had experienced nothing as spectacular as what we saw that day—breaching, spy hopping, flipper slapping, and tail extensions left everyone breathless.

I cannot imagine what a world without that awesome creature would be like. It would be too terrible to contemplate. Be a good steward of the environment. We must be like the wise women in the Gospel today, not the foolish ones, who are ready and progressive in their thinking. We cannot just think of ourselves but of the generations to come. The next generation must be able to see whales playing in an ocean that is not toxic.

Peace,

Suzanne
