Family Rules that Stay on the Fridge and in Our Hearts

 Well here they are: Our FAMILY RULES

• Always use soft words, even when you don’t feel well.
• Always display kind actions, even if you have been mistreated.
• Show joyful attitudes even when no one is looking.
• Have sincere motives with no thought of self-gain.
• Think pure thoughts.
• Always give a good report of others. Never talebear unless physical harm will come to someone. Use Matthew 18.
• Never raise a hand to hit.
• Never raise a foot to kick.
• Never raise an object to throw.
• Never raise a voice to yell.
• Never raise an eye to scowl.
• Use one toy/activity at a time.
• Never let the sun go down on your wrath. (Don’t go to bed angry or guilty)
• Amendment J.O.Y. – Make serving your family a priority.
  Put Jesus first, Others second, Yourself last.

I originally got the rules from the Duggar Family website. Since we have started the rules, they have tweaked theirs so they fit their family, which I would suggest the same for anyone.

I contacted The Duggar Family just to have permission to use them. They were happy to let us.

I pray that this post will really encourage someone who might be struggling in these areas.
