25 Good Guidelines for the Home

Revised from a much shorter typewritten list I found in my files, from an unknown sourceQuite a few additional guidelines were added as well.

We honor and obey the Lord Jesus Christ.
We love, honor and pray for one another.
We put the interests of others ahead of our own.
We speak quietly and  respectfully with one another.
We are kind and considerate to each family member.
We strive to be truthful in everything.
We look for ways to help others without being asked.
We don't hurt others with unkind words or actions.
When someone needs correction, we correct him in love.

When someone is sorry, we forgive him.
When someone is sad, we encourage and comfort him.
When someone is happy, we rejoice with him.
When we have something nice to share, we share it.
When we have work to do, we do it without complaining.
We take good care of everything God has given us.
We do not create unnecessary work for others.

When we open something, we close it.
When
we take something out, we put it back.
When we make a mess,
we clean it up.
When we turn something on, we turn it off.
When we don't know what to do, we ask.
We encourage each other to live to their fullest potential.
When we leave the house, we let other family members know.
When we go out, we remember from whence we came.

Our family is a team and we stick up for each other.
