Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and because we love the Creator, it’s good to love His Creation.

Here are a few suggestions:

Remember the Creator and give Him praise for all the amazing details of our planet!

• Add a song to your family prayer time.
• Read Psalm 148.
• Work together and make a list of your favorite parts of creation.
• See what the Archdiocese of St. Paul/Minneapolis is doing.

If it’s nice out:

• Plant some seeds (the garden centers in our area are open for online orders that we can pick up)
• Plant a tree! At least in our zone, the time is perfect.
• Go for a walk. (Someplace outside of your regular routine might be best.) Or just spend more time playing outside.
• Clean up your yard.

If it’s a day to stay in:

• Watch this video from the Family Formation archives.
• Watch an episode of Planet Earth, Blue Planet, or your favorite nature documentary. Do you have access to Disney+? Check out DisneyNature.
• Challenge your family to see how little trash you can make in a day. What can you use over? Compost? Recycle?
• Take a virtual field trip to a national park.

Whether you celebrate or not, tomorrow (and every other day) is a great day to praise God for all His goodness to us!
