Jones Family Covenant

I thought I would share our Covenant with everyone.

The Jones Family always

• Loves and serves God
  • “And now, O Israel, what does the LORD your God ask of you but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul” Deuteronomy 10:12
• helps others
  • “This is what the LORD Almighty says: Judge fairly and honestly, and show mercy and kindness to one another. Do not oppress widows, orphans, foreigners, and poor people. And do not make evil plans to harm each other.” Zechariah 7:9-10

• loves kids
  • "Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him. "Yes," replied Jesus, "have you never read, " 'From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise?" Matthew 21:16
• opens their home and hearts
  • “Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” Romans 12:13

• forgives each other
  • “Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times. Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times “ Matthew 18:1-22

• uses kind words when we leave each other

• laughs together
