Nature deficit disorder

I found this today and thought it was neat after my fire fly experience


Get out into his nature
If the heaven's declare... let's get out there!
Take a hand and go for a walk.
Slow down. Marvel.
Worship the Creator of all things.

Ideas to combat nature deficit disorder:
~ make Worship Walk dates with other families. After a good hike on a nature trail, gather together to sing hymns of praise around a campfire, or in a clearing...~ see nature walks as an antidote against stress and depression...
~ collect little stones on your walks and display them in a old mason jar set on a windowsill
~ play a game of "Find Ten Glimpses of Glory"... and walk through the woods looking for ten interesting leaves, or ten evidences of animals, or ten unusual plants, or ten flashes of color...~ lay out in the backyard and look up. Watch clouds float by. What shapes are His hand forming? Do you know the different kind of clouds? Print out this page to take out cloudspotting with you. Or watch this fascinating Cloud Tutorial
"For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made..." ~Romans
