A Guide to Creating Your Own Family Mission Statement

“The parenting journey parallels the popular children’s book We’re Going On a Bear Hunt. Some seasons find us slowly trudging through thick mud, stuck in weight and worry, while others swish past in the blink of an eye. No matter what—we can’t go over it, we can’t go under it, we must find the courage to go through it. So, how can we maintain an eternal perspective along the way?

Deuteronomy 6:6-9 ESV reminds us to teach God’s word “diligently to our children, to talk of it when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.

This weighty responsibility for parents to infuse God’s commands as we seek to inform our children’s lives with truth invites an intentional response.
