Doing…

As mothers, there are so many precious opportunities for us to serve our families and our wider community.  When our children are young, it is also an important time to establish habits such as prayer and respect for other family members.  We will address aspects of “Doing” in the following categories:

• Creating a Spiritual Home Environment

• Prayers with Children
• Virtues in the Home

Building Baha’i Identity including posts about:

• Baha’i Feasts
• Baha’i Holy Days
• Ayyam-i-Ha

• Baha’i Community Events

Community Development including posts about:

• Children’s Classes
• Devotional Meetings
• Study Circles
• Junior Youth Groups
• Development Projects

Resources for Children includes posts about outside resources (books, CDs, websites, etc) we feel will be beneficial and applicable for all of the categories above.

“Doing” refers to serving your family and the wider community. Ideas should be tried in a cycle of planning, action, and reflection. It is important to remember that what works for one family may not work for another, and it is also true that what works at one point in time may not work later. The important point is that you are learning through doing and building your capacity for service.

“Let deeds, not words, be your adorning.” (Baha’u'llah, The Persian Hidden Words)
