1) Pray Often We make sure to always thank God each day for each breathe. We make sure to do it daily, because we need to connect with Our Heavenly Father for each day.
2) Find Your Identity In Christ This is something that my husband and I need to separate and each person spend alone time with God, to where we can develop an intimate relationship with God. We need to understand individually that Christ died for each of us and what he died for us to have.
3) Show The Same Grace to Others As God Has Shown You In order to represent Jesus we need to model the same what he did for us. He gave us grace freely, so we need to do the same to others. We remind one another that we need to show grace and mercy toward each person we come in contact with.
4) Encourage Others, Love Others We know that Life and Death are in the power of the Tongue and that we can give others Blessings or Cursing. We make sure to watch what comes out of our mouths and we make it a point to love others on purpose.
5) Laugh and Laugh Hard This is something that we have perfected. We spend family time together and play with one another and be silly and laugh. I remember one night we spent time chasing the kids around the house and did this for close to 40 minutes. We were all running around the house laughing and chasing each other.
6) Be Kind. Listen- No Yelling or Elbowing We understand that we are Gods gift to each other so we want to treat each other with kindness. We made a promise that we would never yell infront of the kids because we don't want them to feel uncomfortable or unloved. We never want our kids to grow up in a house where they remember yelling and arguing.
7) Be First To Say Sorry This is something that we are working on, and have come really far with this one. We listen to each other talk and get our feelings out in the open then our end goal is.. Peace. We know that one or the other has to take the first step to make peace. If my husband doesn't do it, then I do it.
8) Slow Dance In The Kitchen This is something we do quite often and our Son always stares at us weirdly and then runs in the middle of us and dances with us. :)
9) Always Be Looking For Ways To Serve Others We are very busy with our schedules but we always make sure to serve others and find the time to do so.
10) Be Thankful We are so humbled because we understand that every good and perfect gift comes from God above. God has had his entire hand on our family and blessed us with so much. We are so blessed and thankful for everything he has done for us.
11) Fill The House With Music, Worship This is something we learned back in the day. We ALWAYS have worship music playing 24/7. We have it playing in both of the kids rooms and even when we leave the house, we make sure to leave the worship music playing. We know that Worship Music is a form of Spiritual Warfare, and we have faith in it.
12) Hug One Another, Daily We are always hugging one another and hugging the kids. We understand that we aren't promised another day, so we make sure to make each day count.
13) Consider it Pure Joy, When You Face Trials My husband models this verse in our home and I follow after him. My husband is always thanking God for each trial because he knows that God thought of him enough so that he could go through it. This is something that I struggle with, but I am able to follow my husband because he leads by example.
