A Little Bit About the Templeton’s Family Identity
Chelsea and I have always talked about establishing a strong family identity. We felt it was important that our kids form identities around who God has made them to be and the principles and values that make our family unique.
For now, these usually take the form of group identity statements. Here are a few of those statements that get repeated in our house…
- Templetons are courageous.
- Templetons are curious.
- Templetons show up for others when it matters most.
- Templetons are generous.
Here are a few that I think are true of our family, but we’re still growing into…
- Templetons do things other people think are crazy or impossible.
- Templetons love first and prioritize caring for people (over tasks).
- Templetons love having opinions, but enjoy being gracious to others even more.
