What is vision and why do we need it for a family?

Vision: the ability of sight; the act or power of imagination

“The most pathetic person in the world is someone who has sight but no vision.”

― Helen Keller

Proverbs 29:18 "Where there is no vision people perish."

Habakkuk 2:2-3

Here's what we have developed over the last 20+ years as a family: family verse, family vision, family rules, family expectations, blessing (personal/family).

Family verse: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good deeds, and glorify your Father in heaven.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:16‬

Family vision statement: “We are a passionate gospel-centered multi-generational family team with a fire, aim, ready mindset eager to serve with the love of Christ.”

Family Rules-Everyone has a sign that says make me feel important; speak to that sign, God is 1st others 2nd I’m 3rd, If you want to be great, serve many

Family Expectations:...

Family Blessings: Proverbs 3:5-6, Numbers 6:24-26, Matt 5:13-16, Zeph 3:17, Sons' Blessing, Daughters' Blessing
