And God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day" (Genesis 1:31)

(The Spruce Cone: Valentines to Her Children) It might seem strange to refer to a spruce tree sending valentine cards or messages to her children, but it really isn't when we take a closer look.   The seeds and pollen of the spruce are contained within the cones, and when the cones open, the seeds are dispersed to begin new spruce trees.  The spruce's valentine message for each of her children (seeds) are written on the underside of each scale or bract in the form of our traditional valentine heart.  Another of God's wonders to behold!

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.  Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither can we have lasting peace without love and compassion.  It is our hope and prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our environment.
