They are excellent ideas to ponder. During Teachers for the Nations we discussed the consequences of taking more than you could use. In nature if you had excess it would rot. Now we have money. Money doesn't usually decay but loving it instead of others can rot our hearts. Yes, we are learning awesome lessons! Mandi,

I have been listening to some teachings of Ben Gilmore as he goes through John Locke's writings on this very subject in CHOC - excellent reasoning! I used it in my planning for qtr 1 history next year - after establishing that work = ownership then here are some of the reason questions I came up with: 1. What can we do to maintain proper stewardship if we have more than we can take proper care of? 2. Who has provided the property we have? Read Psalm 115:16 3. If we have more than we can use and keep it anyways are we not keeping from someone else a portion of the abundance that God gave for all mankind? 4. Is this stealing? 5. Is it coveting? 6. Did God intend for us to take more than we can use? 7. What are some ways that we are doing this? When we eat too much or dish up too much? When we have a room cluttered with our stuff and it is more than we can easily manage and maintain? When we don’t want to be generous with our belongings? When we don’t want to give up a favorite piece of clothing that we have outgrown? What about giving from our health and strength by working (serving) for others who need help? Such awesome lessons our kiddos are learning! ( : Thanks for "sharing"! ( : Great post!
