Doing…

Let deeds, not words, be your adorning.

– Baha’u’llah, The Persian Hidden Words

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.

Our posts under “Doing” revolve around 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.

We will address aspects of “Doing” in the following categories:

Baha’i Family Life  including posts about:

  • Creating a Spiritual Home Environment
  • Maintaining Family Unity
  • 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 Fast
  • 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.

Strive with all the power of your souls, your deeds, actions and words to assist the spread of these glad tidings and the descent of this merciful bounty. You are the reality and expression of your deeds and actions..

The divine bounties are flowing. Each one of you has been given the opportunity of becoming a tree yielding abundant fruits. This is the springtime of Bahá’u’lláh. The verdure and foliage of spiritual growth are appearing in great abundance in the gardens of human hearts…

Know ye the value of these passing days and vanishing nights.

Testimonials

"Having morning family prayers is something I grew up with, but having a systematic approach that infuses Baha’u’llah’s words, virtues, and music into your morning devotions really carries that spirit through the rest of the day..." Read more on our Testimonials page.
