Family Mission Statement

I know, I've been totally neglecting the blog lately. Not a whole lot has been going on and my cute little girl (who turns one next month!) has been keeping me pretty busy, so blogging hasn't really been on my mind. 

However, one thing we have done that is worth mentioning is making a family mission statement. Family is SO SO SO important to us. Drew and I decided to sit down for one family home evening and put all of our thoughts, hopes, and goals for our family into a small paragraph. We are so grateful to have the Gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives. God is so good! We have so many blessings to be thankful for. We want to continually build and strengthen our relationship with our Heavenly Father and teach our children to do the same. Families can be together forever as long as we strive to keep the commandments of God, believe in Him and endure to the end. I know this! So to help our children gain knowledge of this as well, we came up with this mission statement:

We hope to enlarge this mission statement and hang it in our home for everyone to see! It has already been such a blessing to be able to look over our family mission statement and adjust our lives so that we are living in accordance with it. 

Have you guys ever thought about creating a family mission statement for your own family?

What goals do you have for your family?
