children, Youth & Family
We asked youth, “As stewards, how do you care for
the gifts that God gave you?” Here are some of their
answers:
“We care for our bodies by exercising, eating well, limiting screen time,
showering, sleeping well, and interacting with other people who make us better.
We go to church to be stewards of our spirits. We give our attention to our school
work as stewards of our minds, and care for our health by taking medicine when
we need to.”
“We are responsible for pets. We have dogs, cats and fish, and we help care for
them by feeding them, keeping their habitat clean, showing them love and
getting them exercise.”
“There are some objects that we take special
care of, like our bikes, fishing rods or our
phones, because they have value in our lives.”
“We care for our habitats. We respect spaces
like our rooms, our schools, and our earth by
keeping them clean and actively feeling grateful
for safe spaces where we dwell.”

“With our parents, we share responsibility
of caring for our siblings. We help keep our
brothers and sisters safe, we help transport them, support them, pour them
cereal, and play with them. We also care for our grandparents. It makes them
happy when we visit, bringing them love and joy.”
