Micah 6:8

Micah 6:8 kept coming to my mind when thinking about how I wanted to raise my kids.  In asking myself "what do I want my kids to grow up to be?"  This Scripture is it and it's what we base our family rules on.
"He has shown you, O man, what is good.  And what does the Lord require of you?  To act justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
I made a piece of artwork to hang in our schooling area and we go over it every morning to remind us how we should live.

Act Justly

 - We do what is right.
 - We obey God and our parents


Love Mercy

 - We show compassion and kindness to others
 - We do to others the way we would want them to do to us
 - We help others in their time of need even if they cannot repay us

Walk Humbly

 - We stay close to God by praying and reading the Bible
 - We do not boast or brag
