Probably a lot! Probably more than you actually desire or ever thought you would be doing. The truth is that many people have a hard time doing a little or moderate amount of activities in their life. We are constantly adding or pursued to add more things into our lives but rarely is it easy to subtract. So how can you and your family know what it should do and what it should avoid doing? I think each family must operate like any successful organization, in the sense that it has a clear purpose, with well defined core values. Without a purpose a person, family, or organizing will wander aimlessly. When you take time to figure out your family’s purpose it will keep you from doing things that will lead you away from that goal. It is also crucial to determine a few core values that will define what your family will or will not be like while on your purposeful journey of life on earth. There are many good, even great things your family should not be doing or start doing. We know the bad things we should avoid and how to avoid them but what about those good, fun, meaningful opportunities? This can be difficult but it becomes easier when we clearly know our purpose and core values. Need help figuring those out for your family? Let me know and we can talk about it over lunch or coffee.

I have been checking out the new family resource called “Cue Box” that  is coming in September. Cue Box is going to be the most useful family spiritual resource yet!
