Having mentioned my home manager mission statement the other day (see Blogging for Accountability), I thought I should post it for informational purposes. After reading it, however, I see it as more of a family mission statement than a personal affirmation. Take it for what it is, an attempt to get a home in order, definitely a goal and not a description of current conditions.
---------------------
We commit ourselves to creating and maintaining an attractive, well-run, well-organized home and grounds:
- with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere
- where the environment is conducive to lifelong learning, exploration, and discovery, as well as to relaxation, meditation, and rejuvenation
- that reflect our family’s values and heritage
- that reflect the interests of each individual in our family
- where each individual in our family is a member of the “King Home Team,” with dad being the Home Team Provider, mom acting as the Home Team Manager, and the children fulfilling the role of Home Team Member
- where each “King Home Team” member participates in determining household tasks, participates in determining their assigned tasks (within appropriate boundaries), completes their assigned tasks in a timely manner with a God-honoring attitude and without interfering with or making more work for other team members, and assists or cooperates with other team members whenever necessary to complete their own, or another’s, tasks
- where the standard for work will be Colossians 3:23-24 NASB
And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.
- where each individual in our family will do his/her best to be obedient to God at all times and in all things
- where each individual in our family will do his/her best to communicate with other family members in an open, honest, and respectful way
- where each individual in our family, and anyone who visits, feels comfortable and free to express their opinions and beliefs in an open, honest, and respectful way
- where each individual in our family will do his/her best to diligently care for our home, grounds, and possessions

CHILDREN?? I distinctly read CHILDREN in this post!! Since Rich was already mentioned in the sentence, he could not be lumped into the CHILDREN category. Could this be the reason for this new found desire to get organized? Could it be for a family case worker who will walk through the doors and critique the environment before handing you a young child to raise? Is this now going beyond the talk stage and into the let's make this into a reality state? Praise God!!!
