The simple act of planting a tree can carry spiritual significance.   Today in Kenya, Valérie and I had the wonderful opportunity to plant a tree at the Nairobi Arboretum, to celebrate the fourth anniversary of a remarkable initiative to plant billions of trees across Kenya.   This effort will help mitigate the effects of persistent drought, while providing nutritious food for local communities and strengthening self-reliance.   As part of this initiative, over the past few years, the Church has supported the distribution of nearly 600,000 fruit tree seedlings, including mango, avocado, and citrus trees.   As Latter-day Saints, our understanding of God’s plan helps us see the natural world not merely as a collection of resources to be used, but as a precious gift from God—one that deserves our gratitude, reverence, and care.   As children of God, we are not incidental to the Creation; we are central to its purpose. Caring for the Earth and caring for God’s children are inseparable responsibilities. We cannot truly care for one without caring for the other.   As we strive to be faithful stewards of God’s creations, we honor the Creator Himself and affirm the divine worth of each of His children.
