The understanding of stewardship as a way of life cannot begin when one becomes an adult; it must start at an early age. Stewardship is a way of living that acknowledges that everything we are and have is a gift from God. It is living a life marked by gratitude and thanksgiving to God. As it relates to children, a response to God’s generosity must be made by giving back a portion of one’s time and talent.
