Practicing Generosity: Sharing Justice

Sharing justice is an odd phrase isn’t it?

Though as I have thought about it over the last couple of weeks the more sense it has made. Sharing justice is a practical exercising of the idea of stewardship or generosity. At it’s most basic… going back to Genesis 2… God created the world and lovingly fashioned humans and all the rest of creation to live in love with God and with each other.

That sounds a lot like sharing justice. How can we live in love? How can we care for each other if we are not sharing justice?

Simple ideas, but not necessarily easy ones.

I found a website with a tremendous number of books for children on various aspects of sharing justice and I’m going to share the links to two of the websites and links to a couple of read alouds:
