Family Mission Statement

I once read a great book on organization called "Organized Simplicity." The author recommended that every family should have a mission statement to guide them as they sort through their stuff and their schedules. I loved the concept. Here is the statement we came up with. It has gone through some changes, and I anticipate it may go through more.

Family Mission Statement

Glorify God at all times.

Live with a heart at peace.

Work hard and play hard.

Cultivate strong family bonds.

Serve our fellow men.

Be examples of refinement.

Choose the important over the urgent and

the timeless over the transient.

Be valiant.

Build Zion.

Mission Statement for our Home

Provide a clean, safe sanctuary apart from the world.

Be a place where the spirit of the temple dwells.

Give opportunities for work, learning and wholesome recreation.

Motto

Fortis vincit multum. Amor vincit omnia.

(Strength conquers much. Love conquers all.)

I hope that's grammatically correct in Latin

This house is due for a serious sorting. I'm not sure how that is going to fit in, but I know it needs to happen. I love having a clear measuring stick because I get so confounded attached to my stuff. Wish me luck.
