God’s Principles on Ownership.
Amara finds a rainbow-coloured shell by the river and wants to keep it, but Mama and Kitabu gently teach that God made everything and it all belongs to Him. Amara chooses to make the shell into a necklace for Neema, and the girls go on sharing God’s love wherever they go.
“Then God said, ‘Let us make human beings in our image and likeness. And let them rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky. Let them rule over the tame animals, over all the earth and over all the small crawling animals on the earth.”
— Genesis 1:26 (ICB)
