I had a teacher once who was eating at a burger place with his daughter. She was about three years old.
He reached across the table and attempted to take one of her french fries. She responded by slapping his hand away, saying, "Mine!" Knowing he was dealing with a three-year-old he let it go, but he said he was thinking, "Yours? I bought these fries, and in fact I don't need yours, I can buy my own!"
What his daughter failed to grasp was that everything she owned came from him. He was not taking what was hers, he was letting her eat what was his.

They all have one theme in common...
Ps 24:1 The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it.
The world and all its people belong to him.
They all say the same thing
The earth is the Lord's - and everything in it.
All His. Not ours.
