In the car today, my son asked my daughter what her motto was. They didn't get the concept at first - they were talking more about characters they identified with. But after I explained that a motto is a phrase or saying that describes their life or how they would want to live, he said, "Like 'Keep Moving Forward'!" (From Meet the Robinsons) Then both children decided that was their motto.

I got to considering what would be my motto, and I came up with "Love, Service, Hope." Much of my life at this point is about serving others around me out of love, sacrificing myself as necessary, in hope of an eternal future of rest and ultimate fulfillment of who God has made me.

So, tell me, what would you say is your motto?
