BLESSED EARTH  With spring come opportunities for stewardship Serving God, Saving the Planet  MAY 2009 NEWSLETTER || WWW.BLESSEDEARTH.ORG || VOL. 1, NO. 4 Friends, Spring! A season of planting seeds and growing hope. A ti me of strengthening communities and enjoying God’s glorious creation. A few weeks ago, I helped plant several thousand saplings in eastern Kentucky . This land had been devastated by rapacious coal mining; in twenty years, it will once again be a living forest, teeming with oaks, ash, and (God willing) American chestnuts. Just as important as the ve acres that fty volunteers planted alongside me was the sense of community and joy that lled our hearts. I nearly missed taking part in another, smaller reforestation effort last weekend--organized by Mary, our “retired” neighbor and indefatigable Blessed Earth supporter. I had been planting c ucumber and squash seeds when a friend came by, reminding me that I was supposed to speak at an Arbor Day celebration scheduled to begin in the town park-fteen minutes ago! So, with dirt-encrusted ngernails and gardening clothes, I dashed off to the town green to share what the Bible has to say about trees. Participants in the celebrat ion ranged from eighteen months to eighty- plus years, yet we all felt joyously bound together by a shared love for God and the trees He created. A third community-building event occurred on our front yard. When I ask ed a few friends if they would be interested in sharing a local, grass-fed, hormone- and Cr eation Ca re Scriptur e Gr een Tip of th e Month PO BOX 227 || WILMORE, KY 40390 || CONT [email protected] “May he have dominion from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.” Psalm 72:8 antibiotic-free cow , demand was so high we ended up doubling the order. My family does not eat much meat these days--we only kept 20 of the 1100 pounds delivered- -but this gathering was about much more than local food sources: the friendships t hat sprang up as we sorted the beef will last long after our freezers are empty. Throughout the spring, my favorite times are spent obeying God’s rst com- mandment (Genesis 2:15)--to tend and protect the Garden. As I work among the vegetable seedlings, neighbors stop by to chat and w eed alongside me. In between the rows of spinach and peas, we enjoy cherished time to be with each other, and with God. With every blessing, Nancy Sleeth Program Director Composting can cut back on as much as 70 percent of household waste each year. Start your own compost pile today. It’s easy, keeps waste from heading to the landll, and makes for rich soil for spring planting! Pictured: Dr. Matthew and Nancy Sleeth
