Family Motto

The first few months after we got married we threw around ideas for a family motto. I love the idea of having some type of saying or scripture that describes what your family is all about and I wanted our family to have one! Shelby and I dug up scriptures and quotes. During one of our discussions about a family motto this scripture came up: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Matthew 6:33. We decided that this would be our family motto. I have always loved this scripture and have found it to be so true throughout my life. It perfectly describes how we want out family to be. We want to always seek God first because as we put God first all other things will fall into their proper place or drop out of our lives. Seeking God includes loving, serving, working, respecting, obeying commandments, etc... It includes everything that we want our family to do and become. We finally have our family motto hanging on our wall to remind us each day of the kind of people that we are trying to be. I'm so glad we finally have our motto hanging on our wall!
