WEEK 10

SUBJECT: Christian Religious Studies

TOPIC: Why we should work

We should work so that we can earn a living. We work to take care of our basic needs such as food, clothing and housing.

Another reason why we work is to be able to take care of our family. As a bricklayer, we work to build houses for people. As a teacher, we work to impart knowledge to people so that they can be out of ignorance. As a medical doctor, we work to reduce the spread of diseases and cure those that are sick.

Moral lessons

1. God wants us to work so that we can provide for our families.
2. God told Adam and Eve to till the ground. He wants us to work so that we can produce food for ourselves and others.
3. God wants us to be good citizens of our country. We should work in the school, listen to our teachers and also do our homework on time.
4. When we work, we contribute to the progress of our communities. God wants us to free other people from their ignorance and poverty.
5. When we work, other people will respect us.
