A Prayer for the Earth
The Story of Naamah, Noah’s Wife
By Max
Naamah, who was Noah’s wife, did a very great job of planting flowers’ seeds. God told Noah to build an ark, and find two of each animal in the ark. He also told Naamah to get two of each flowers’ and trees’ seeds, and fruit in the ark to harvest. Then the very heavy rain started and flooded the whole earth. They send birds to throw olive seeds, and the flood stopped. God planted an olive tree for them! Noah took the animals back to their homes, and Naamah planted the seeds and became a big garden full of flowers and trees.
I think we need to plant more trees and flowers and trees to stop global warming. Even Naamah is dead; her garden still grows when we plant the flowers and trees. She is the Mother of Seeds!
"At last, we learn the secret of how plants recovered from the Great Flood. In this nurturing story, Naamah.....inspires us all to carry onher tradition as stewards of Earth's garden."
