My son was cleaning out his drawers last night and when I woke up this morning, he had left an orange paper with a green piece of index card sized attached to it. He had a religion project a couple of years ago maybe in 7th or 8th grade. I had totally forgotten about it. I wanted to share it, because it came at a perfect moment since I had wanted to write a post yesterday about spiritual growth and didn’t know how to start. Its a family mission statement. Here it is:
Our mission is to have God as the primary guiding force in our lives. To achieve this, we will respect God’s commandments. We wish to share and give of our talents to the community. We can put forth LOVE, KINDNESS and FAITH everyday.
That in a nutshell is really why I created this blog with my sister, Maria. I want to be guided everyday by God so that my life can unfold in the most beautiful of ways. Its a good visual reminder to have especially when we get caught up in our own mini dramas and events in this thing called life. My purpose in writing(besides that I love doing it), is so that hopefully someday just one person can be inspired to make their own lives a little better. Many that have inspired me. Its a way of giving back. Can you think of a mission statement for your family or for yourself?
