My Family Emblem
As I have studied the fathers, I have tried to understand what their relationship with the Father means for my own family. This emblem is not something I expect other families to adopt. I made it for my family, especially to help my children remember what we are trying to keep before us.
Another family may express these things differently. The purpose of the emblem is simply to remind us where our attention belongs and how we want to live before the Father.
Worship the Father · Honour the Son · Listen to the Spirit
The light above the tree represents the Father. The lamb represents the Messiah, and the dove represents the Holy Spirit. Around them are four simple reminders of how we want to live.
No other gods before the Father: the person looking upward reminds us to worship the Father and keep Him first.
Do the Father’s will: the footsteps leading toward the light remind us to seek His direction and follow where He leads.
Uplift your family: the hand holding the smaller hand reminds us to love, teach, protect, help and lift the people God has placed in our family.
Strengthen others: the person helping another to his feet reminds us to serve, encourage, teach, warn, comfort and help others turn toward the Father.
