Family Rules CHART!!!


So on the way home from Idaho I asked the kids what they thought our "Family Rules" should be... I was SO excited when they covered everything I wanted them too in their own words... including the consequenses if the rules weren't followed. I have a quote at the bottom by James E. Faust in a talk entitled "A Thousand Threads of Love" It states "For us to have successful homes, vaules must be taught, and there must be rules, there must be standards, there must be absolutes.... Without Discipline children will not respect either the rules of home or of society."

I am grateful to parents that taught me. Good, bad, right from wrong, forgivness, love and also taught me that there is a way to become better, and to become more, to find the Lord in EVERYTHING. Their righteous examples of Love and Faith have led me to my knees asking the Lord to help me raise and teach these kids our Father in Heaven has trusted me with, asking Him to forgive me daily struggles and weaknesses and make me better and more. My Mother always had new ways of teaching us, help us, and showing us the right way.... She always made charts...and I know through those charts I found excitement and enjoyment in achieving the desired goal.

Anyways I hope you all find time to read this talk and try to implement what you get out of it.
