Family Rules

Making family rules has been on my big whiteboard family calendar for a year and a half!  However, it took a little while to come up with those rules and the verses for them!  I really wanted it to be a defining thing for a family, rules and verses we would all memorize and live by.  I spent the last year recording some of our Vincent rules and sayings. Then Matt and I have spent time scouring the Scriptures to come up with the right ones for each rule.  Without further ado...in the words of Boston...TA DA!

1. Vincents Do Not Lie (Matt has been claiming this as our number one rule since Jack was like 3.) 2 Corinthians 4:2
2. We are a Team (another big one of his) 1 Peter 3:8
3. Humble Yourself (it's in pink which I thought was great for that one in a house of boys.) 
   Matthew 5:5
4. We always praise our God (this is one we have felt deeply convicted by during the past month) Job 1:21
5. We Study God's Word Joshua 1:8
6. Daddy's in Charge (and he gave Mama a wooden spoon)..we got a little country on that one. :) Exodus 20:12
7. Serve one another JOYFULLY 1 Peter 4:10
8. We hold each other accountable James 5:16
9. Work Hard Romans 12:11
10. We give our first 10% to the Lord Leviticus 27:30
11. Don't ever quit Hebrews 12:1-2
12. Love unconditionally 1 John 3:16
13. Pray together everyday Colossians 4:2
