Gifts from God

Nature is something that no man has ever created, and cannot be created in future too. Nature is one of the amazing gifts from God — oceans, trees, mountains, hills, huge continents, skies, clouds… the list is endless.

Trees have such beautiful green leaves and the buds bloom into beautiful flowers. Isn’t it interesting to know that plants can prepare their own food? Did you know that plants like touch-me-not and sunflower respond to external stimuli fast? One of the most fascinating sights mankind can ever see is what appears when sunlight and rain clash — the rainbow!

A rainbow comprises the seven vibrant colours — violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red.

Mountains are yet another beautiful creation of god, especially the Himalayas.

Now what about things that are very far like the stars, asteroids, comets, planets, solar system…aren’t they magnificent as well?

Nature is indeed an extraordinary thing. But we are spoiling nature by littering plastics, digging up the earth, causing forest fires, cutting down trees and polluting the rivers, which are all harmful to nature. Please prevent these and preserve our wonderful nature. Let’s handover the gifts of nature to the coming generations as well so that they can also enjoy it.
