They dress modestly, and bad language up is not allowed. They also understand when I say : "have I thanked you lately for being my kids?" And what the coded statement means. They immediately look around for someone doing something stupid. 90% of the kids around us are ok, it's the 10% I want them to avoid, and not emulate. So far it has worked very well . :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13044325869687592591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-72017249477954400312011-06-11T21:34:50.788-05:002011-06-11T21:34:50.788-05:00We downloaded the Duggars guidelines and added to ...We downloaded the Duggars guidelines and added to them. Here are some of our modifications.<br /><br />He who has been doing wrong must do wrong no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands. (Eph 4:28) (One of our consequences is work)<br /><br />Build up others and only *SAY* what will benefit those who are listening. (There is a verse that goes along with only saying what will be a benefit to the listener but I can't remember the scripture reference off the top of my head)<br /><br />Don’t mock or put others down. Develop compassion and pray for others. (We make it a point to pray for those that persecute us).<br /><br />There is more but those are three bigger ones...Jolenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05951367929237400765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-26848081514403681802011-06-11T14:17:22.258-05:002011-06-11T14:17:22.258-05:00We don't really have rules but our guidelines ...We don't really have rules but our guidelines are in keeping with a personal relationship with Jesus and what the Bible says. : ) We always stress to start with the Lord in the Morning and spend time with the Lord too before we go to bed. We try to speak sweetly and respectfully to each other but honestly as well. We don't watch anything that Jesus wouldn't watch with us and enjoy the innocence of yesteryear. We really enjoy old stories and selected 40s movies where ladies are ladies and men are gentlemen. If something is streetwise we stay away from that. Some days we are going to feel very different and that is okay. : ) We remind ourselves that Jesus felt different too.<br /> <br />All in all I like to keep our home a sweet place, an atmosphere of praise and sweetness. <br /><br />On those days when the world seems so very evil and sometimes even a mean place, I want our home to be a sweet haven, not only for our family but for others as well.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093408888499365118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-60887968782348896382011-06-11T13:55:16.795-05:002011-06-11T13:55:16.795-05:00Great guidelines but what do they do if the kids d...Great guidelines but what do they do if the kids don't follow them?

I like The Duggars rules about being kind to each other and the rule about not going to bed mad or guilty is a great rule for anybody to follow. I try to follow the JOY rule as much as I can.briansbabe74https://www.blogger.com/profile/14813440106995433620noreply@blogger.com
