I was just thinking about tomorrow, April 22.  Tomorrow is Earth Day 2009.  Now this special day has been around since the 1970’s, but just in the last few years did anyone seem to be familiar with Earth Day, and what it stood for. 

Tomorrow is also my wedding anniversary, and it is a friend’s birthday.  So you can see why it is a day for me to remember, and be thinking about.  I will probably have to remind my husband about all three.

Anyway, back to Earth Day.  I was thinking about what I could do to take care of this wonderful earth that God gave us.  I will probably plant some flowers, and trees.  Now I am not much into recycling, so I had to put some thought into that.  Then it came to me.  I will recycle some plastic, not bottles, but CREDIT CARDS! 

I have been working at paying off my credit cards, and I thought this is it.  I can cut them up, and use them for guitar picks, or shred them, and make tooth picks!  You know this is not a bad idea.  This maybe one of the best things that I can do for Mother Earth, and for me (my earthen vessel/earth body), to get me out of debt.

Well, think about if you try recycling your credit cards this year, it could be your best Earth Day ever.  I know that it would be a good anniversary present for my husband.  He would love it if I stopped using my “plastic”!

I may have to plant the flowers, and trees first, and then I will ease into the plastic recycling.  We all have to start somewhere!

Truly, the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.  God has given us this wonderful place to live, and He wants us to be good stewards.
