Jesus told a story about ten girls waiting for a wedding party—five were wise and brought extra oil for their lamps, but five didn’t, and they missed out when the party finally came. The wise girls were ready for surprises, and that made all the difference.
Money lesson for kids: Not spending all of your money and saving a little extra money—called “margin”—helps you stay ready when life doesn’t go as planned, just like bringing extra oil helped the wise girls be ready for the party.
