Our Family Rules from the Duggar's

We have these new fun rules at home.  We like them because it protects us from getting hurt by others around our house.



These rules we took from the Duggar’s family.   God gave us 10 commandments and then He spelled it out in many specific situations to show us what it looks like to love Him and to love others.



Here they are.  We put ours in a very visible place because we tend to forget easily.

1. Always use soft words, even when you don’t feel well.
2. Always display kind actions, even if you have been mistreated.

3. Show joyful attitudes even when no one is looking.

4. Have sincere motives with no thought of self-gain.

5. Think pure thoughts.

6. Always give a good report of others. Never tale-bear unless physical harm will come to someone. Use Matthew 18 as your standard.

7. Never raise a hand to hit.

8. Never raise a foot to kick.

9. Never raise an object to throw.

10. Never raise a voice to yell.

11. Never raise an eye to scowl.

12. Use one toy/activity at a time.

13. Never let the sun go down on your wrath. (Don’t go to be angry or guilty.)

14. Amendment J.O.Y.: Put Jesus first, Others second, Yourself last. Make serving your family a priority.
