Armed Forces Day
As we celebrate Armed Forces Day, be mindful of our military personnel in blended families who not only take great risk but face unique family challenges: increased stress when biological parents are deployed and stepparents are left by themselves; increased anxiety when lots of relocations move parents away from their kids, increased tension when the demands of military life make family bonding difficult. To the brave men and women of our armed forces, we see your sacrifice and we pray for you.

Episode Transcript
Ron: To those serving us, we want to serve.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: There are certain jobs that often require personal sacrifice; people who frequently travel away from home or have high-risk occupations. As we celebrate Armed Forces Day this weekend, let’s be mindful of our military personnel in blended families who not only take great risk but face unique family challenges: increased stress when biological parents are deployed and stepparents are left by themselves, increased anxiety when frequent relocations move parents further away from their children; increased tension when the tough demands of military life make family bonding difficult.
To the brave men and women of our armed forces, we see your sacrifice and we’re praying for you. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
