I was such a fan of the Duggars goals (found here) that I went looking for some more that I could add to the list. Here is what I found. I am planning on doing a weekly "lesson" on each of these with Hunter...and I'm looking the "right" place to display them in my home....maybe a few in each room, maybe one big list on the fridge...what do you think?!
2. Always deflect praise and be grateful to God and others for the ways they have benefited your life.
3. Always use manners and be respectful of others and their belongings
4. Always do what is right, even when others may not, or when no one is looking.
5. Thank God for how He made you, for what He has given you and everything He allows you to go through. (Romans 8:28)
6. Don't mock or put others down. Develop compassion and pray for others.
7. Never argue, complain, or blame. Quickly admit when you have done wrong and ask for forgiveness (even if you were only 10% at fault). Don't wait until you get caught. Be sure your sins will find you out. He who covers his sin will not prosper, but he that confesses and forsakes it shall find mercy.
8. Have a tough accountability / prayer partner to daily share your heart with and to keep you in line (your parents, spouse, etc.). The power of sin is in secrecy.

You'll have to share your secrets on teaching compassion. That's been one of my weaknesses with Juliet.
