Vruggink Family Mission Statement

My hubby gave me the BEST Christmas present this year - a customized canvas of our family mission statement!  A few years ago Greg and I worked together on making a list of the most important things we wanted our family to value.  We're doing our best to live out these core principles in our every day life and instill these into our children.  I am beyond thrilled that we now have our family mission statement so beautifully displayed in our home!!! :)

We the Vruggink family will put God first, give sacrificially, share, love unconditionally, laugh together, cheer each other on, work hard, do our best, live simply, forgive, always tell the truth, practice hospitality, be kind, and share Jesus Christ with the world.

“As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”  Joshua 24:15


1. 
Put God first
“Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.  This is the first and greatest commandment.”  Matthew 22:37-38

2.  Give sacrificially
“As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury.  He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins.  ‘Truly I tell you,’ he said, “’his poor widow has put in more than all the others.  All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.’” Luke 21:1-4

3.  Share
“Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.  Practice hospitality.” 
Romans 12:13

4.  Love unconditionally
“A new command I give you: Love one another.  As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”  John 13:34

5.  Laugh together
“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”  John 10:10

6.  Cheer each other on
“Encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”  1 Thessalonians 5:11

7.  Work hard
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.”  Colossians 3:23

8.  Do our best
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.”  Colossians 3:23

9.  Live simply
“Better a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil.” Proverbs 15:16

10.  Forgive
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”  Ephesians 4:32

11.  Always tell the truth
“Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices.”  Colossians 3:9

12.  Practice hospitality
“Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.  Practice hospitality.” 
Romans 12:13

13.  Be kind
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”  Ephesians 4:32

14.  Share Jesus Christ with the world
“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”  Matthew 28:19
