We are a family
founded on God’s great capacity to love not only our family,
but also all the
people of the earth.
We are a family that
believes that everyone has been created with many gifts and talents,
that we are called to
use and share with others.
We are always ready
to give to those in need, realizing that underneath every person lies a story
that we do not know
and often cannot understand.
We are a family that
desires to be full of happiness,
never forgetting to
laugh out loud each day and share in the joys of those around us.
We are also a family
that desires to walk with others in their pain and grief,
people who listen and
empathize on the difficult roads of life.
We are committed to
seeing the good in others and in one other,
seeking to build each
other up instead of tearing one another down.
We are a family
committed to honesty, to sharing all in life that we experience,
even when it is hard
to share.
We are a family that
seeks adventure,
realizing that often
times our momentous experiences are never planned,
but are always a
gift.
We are a family
continuously committed to love,
to give second
chances and always willing to work towards peace and justice.
We want to give credit to Long Miles Coffee Project for the idea of creating a family mantra.
