It has been put on my heart, along with the rest of my family, to compose a
Family Mission Statement.
I want our children to know and expect, also for T-Man and I to know, that our home/family is a soft place to fall!
I want to be able to come back to something that I know we all agree on when there is strife in the family.
Example: When your kids disagree, especially when the out of the house, to be able to point out or refer to something we ALL know to be true. I don't want to just say "That is not how we raised you, or you know better"
Some may think this is silly but my heart breaks for some situation's that are close to me.
It is still a work in progress; I am taking this very seriously!
Some examples of what I would like to have expressed!
take each other’s emotions seriously be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry
Have a strong sense of family unity and identity - so much so that we all look forward to being together as a family
I just don't want it to be difficult to be wrong in a family, sometime we don't have an explanation of why we do or they do things and I know not having my kids around would be harder than not forgiving and forgetting.
Well anyway if you have a missions statement or any ideas please share on here or email me!

As a former ministry shepherd, former business major and as a current mama.... I love love love the idea of mission statements. I remember writing one when we were newlyweds.... I should search for that puppy, I bet it would be fun to read. It would be interesting to see how tight we stayed to the statement of it and what we would change now that we are parents. Good job on keeping it 'thoughtful' and stretching yourself for the sake of the family. Every new thing I learn about you makes me adore you even more.
