Kids queries:
11. Stewardship of Resources

When I share things, am I really generous, or do I make sure everyone knows what stuff is mine?

Do I think about whether I really need something before I ask for it or spend money on it?

Do things I “need” mean things that help me become independent and able to take care of myself, or are they things I could get along fine without?

When I buy something or ask for something, do I think about the people who are involved in making and selling that thing, or the other people who also need that thing? Do I think about whether I am helping or hurting other people in the world when I buy it?

When I decide whether I will spend time on school work, chores, friends, toys, books, etc, is being quiet and listening to God as important to me -- or more important -- than other things?

When I have money, do I give part of it to organizations that help other people?

When I ask for things, do I think about what things other people in my family or community need?
