Family Rules

OUR FAMILY RULES

1. Always be kind. “Let your gentleness be known to all men.” Philippians 4:5

2. Obey immediately. “Children obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.” Ephesians 6:1

3. Be happy. “A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance.” Proverbs 15:3

4. Never lie. “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are His delight.” Proverbs 12:22

5. Treat others the way you want to be treated. “This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.” John 15:12

6. Do not whine or complain. “Do all things without murmurings and disputing.” Philippians 2:14

7. Show respect to adults. “Yes, all of you be subject one to another and be clothed with humility.” 1 Peter 5:5

8. Do not tease mommy or daddy. “Honor your father and mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.” Exodus 20:12

9. Share your toys. “There is one who scatters, yet increases more . . . “ Proverbs 11:24

10. Always to your best. “Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings.” Proverbs 22:29

We will be learning and memorizing these throughout the year. Me too . . .

I meant to give credit to Higher Up and Further In blog. They were her original rules. I just added the scripture verses to accompany them.
