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)

Bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis)
(Bloodroot - 04) The bloodroot has a single flower and stock which begins as a
bud close to the leaf stem, as pictured in this matured plant. The root of the
bloodroot has a reddish colored juice, which gives the plant its name, for when
it's cut it appears to be bleeding. The Native Americans used the juice as an
insect repellant, for the treatment of fungus infections such as ringworm, and
for the treatment of rheumatism. In early American medicine, the blood root was
used as an expectorant in treating bronchitis and asthma. Let us strive to
preserve these wonders of God's creation for all future generations.

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.
