This is why we love our gardens and animals and sometimes hunt and fish for the sheer joy of it. We feel humble, awed, and grateful because these things bring us closer to God.

Psalm 8:6-9

You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; 
you have put all things under his feet,
all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
