Family Mission Statement

Almost 10 years ago, my husband gave our family a gift that made a difference in our home.  It was a family mission statement,  a common place for our family to stand before God.

It hangs on our wall to remind us of this stance in the midst of all circumstances.  And this is what we read:

"Follow Me!"

 -Jesus

"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement 

give you a spirit of unity among yourselves 

as you follow Christ Jesus 

so that with one heart and mouth 

you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."          

 -Paul    

(Romans 15:5-6)

My prayer for our family:
     -  That we each individually be alive in Christ, surrendered to Him and abiding in Him.
     -  That each member of our family be everything that God intended as He created them.
     -  That our actions as a family would be in pursuit of God's glory
               and the advancement of His kingdom on earth.

And,
     - That we would commit ourselves to prayer, worship and God's Word.
     - That we would die to ourselves (keep our eyes off ourselves).
     - That we put each others interests above our own.
     - That we would build up and not tear down.
     - That we would be brave, honest, diligent and hard-working.
     - That we would pursue purity with our hearts, discipline with our minds and bodies,
               and excellence with our actions.      
     - That we would be active in a healthy local church.
     - That we would be responsible citizens.

Finally,
     - That we would fully experience God's love and in return love Him with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength.

Glorificate Deum  -  Honorate Familiam

Where do you stand in your home?  What is your mission statement?
Love always,
