Real Biblical Help for Blended Families

Blended Families.  Everyone knows one or more.  Shawn and I have the privilege of knowing many.  We see the struggles they face with all the myriad of issues that face their families in a way that "traditional families" never experience.  Many of them are DISCOURAGED because they don't know where to turn for help.

But God is in the business of transforming lives and relationships - and He is doing a powerful work in Blended Families through Ron Deal and our Blended Family Ministry.  Ron formally joined FamilyLife a couple of years ago and he has been teaching us, as a staff so much about the challenges of blended families.

But we, as a staff, cannot reach every blended family. That is where YOU come in the picture!!

CHALLENGE:  Make a point to call or contact a blended family you know today or -- at the least -- later this week.  Share the website link below with them and tell them that you know there are articles, videos, resources, etc. that are SPECIALLY DESIGNED for their needs.  Ask them if there is a way you can pray for them and then call them back in a week or so to follow-up.  You can be used by God in this small way to encourage a struggling family or just help a family who is doing well to keep the course and continue trusting God in the good and not-so-good times.

Thanks for taking this small but important step to encourage a blended family TODAY!
