We need God’s help to love and accept differences with our stepchildren, particularly when they go down roads we wouldn’t choose. Different personalities create desires unlike ours. We can’t dictate the beat our stepchildren march to; instead, we must allow them to follow the music they hear. An excerpt from Step Parenting with Grace by Gayla Grace

What’s natural for new blended family relationships is for them to be awkward, fragile, and strained from time to time. It should take some work, some intentional effort, to forge through those early difficult stages.

Holiday seasons aren’t always merry for blended families. The season can resurrect grief from divorce, death, or another tragedy.

The friendship of marriage helps spouses become better versions of themselves, closer to what God designed and redeemed them to be. They must face the truth about themselves—their strengths and their imperfections. They will face conflict and difficulty and must grow empathy and teamwork. Selfishness must melt away if they are to become healthy, strong, and mature together. http://bit.ly/BuildingLove

Matthew Dewey and I lead a Blended Family Life Group at our church, Vero Beach Nazarene Church, on Saturday evenings. We have dinner together from 5:30-6 and group from 6-7:30. We are excited to start back tomorrow, Saturday September 10! There is also a Blended group for kids/teens that meets at the same time, led by Alexa Noelle Hamilton and Matthew Harvey! Please feel free to reach out to any of us if you have any questions. If you are in a step family or know someone who could benefit from something like this and would like to join us, we would LOVE to see you tomorrow night!

When you must decide between siding with your child or your spouse in a blended family, choose your spouse.
