Our Family's Mission Statement

Years ago, i jotted down in my planner a few lines that i thought would make a powerful "Mission Statement" for our family and help us stay focused on the most important things in life. Well, then i lost my planner and couldn't find it for 6 months!! It was under the desk at Costco. My untouched credit cards and driver's license and my Franklin/Covey pages and leather binder had long-since been replaced, but i could never quite recreate those few lines to my satisfaction, so our family remained afloat. When my planner was finally returned to me, that was the only thing i found missing. Had i imagined writing it?

Then a week or so ago, Mr. LeFevre and i decided it was time to start from scratch. I took a list of values i had scratched out in the front of my new planner (that i got from these guys) and wrote a new one:

Our home is a

Sanctuary.

In our home, each of

Heavenly Father’s children

feels acceptance and

Love;

We develop

our talents freely

here

and our

Creative Expression

is nurtured and allowed to

blossom.

~*~

As we create

Peace

and

Harmony

in our home,

we strive

to maintain an environment of

Health

and

Order

Here.

~*~

There is a spirit of

Faith

in our home.

We

Unite

in an

Attitude of Gratitude

and go forth

to

Serve

our fellow man.

Okay, so it's not great literature. We do our best. It fits on one page.
