Our 14 Family Ways

1) We love God with our whole heart, reading His Word and praying to Him daily.

2) We love one another, treating each other with kindness, gentleness and respect.

3) We serve one another, humbly thinking of the needs of others before our own.

4) We encourage each other, using only words that build up and bless others.
We think before we speak.

5) We forgive one another, covering an offense with love when wronged or hurt. We seek reconciliation with our family members.

6) We are thankful to God for what we have. We’re content with what we have and we are generous with those in need.

7) We take good care of what the Lord has blessed us with.

8) We are responsible and do our chores for God not just our parents. We do tasks diligently, with a cooperative spirit.

9) We try to lovingly communicate with our family hoping to strengthen our relationship, with love and honesty.

10) We choose to be peacemakers, patient and gracious even when we don’t feel like it.

11) We do what we know is right even when others do not.

12) We choose to be joyful & happy doing all things without complaining or arguing even when we don’t feel like it.

13) We tell the truth, always, being completely honest.

14) We honor our parents and obey with a cheerful heart listening to correction, and communicating our feelings kindly.

These will go here {finally ;o)}. They are adapted from the Clarkson's Our 24 Family Ways.
