I am reading a Bible plan about developing a family culture of strong faith. Today’s focus was on defining traits that would characterize our family. I’ve been praying about it, looking for wisdom and insight.
Honesty is a no-brainer for my family. I’m a bit of a freak about it. We often say, “We tell the truth in our
family.” It shuts down a lot of nonsense
before it starts. Some other traits that I want to mark my family are mercy,
trust, and compassion. Our One Word of the
Year this year has been attachment. It’s
a key word for kids from hard places, but a necessary component to any healthy
life.
I continue to pray as I move through my day. I want to be purposeful and mindfully foster
a culture for our family where each is washed in traits that draw them closer to
God. I want them liberated and equipped to carry out the work God calls each of
us to do.
Do you do this? Are there
words or traits that naturally characterize your family? Are there things you purposely develop?
