Coping With Loss (1 of 4)
Kids, I want to acknowledge some tough things you may be dealing with. Things like; loss and sadness, not having your parents together, maybe one has died, having to move between homes, being anxious about whether your parents will argue again, forgetting your math book at the other house, and having a stepparent you didn't ask for. Here's what I want you to know: God cares. He hasn't forgotten you. And like the people in the Bible who experienced great loss, he will see you through. Trust him.

Today, I’m talking to kids in single parent families and blended families and the adults who love them.
Ron: Today, I’m talking to kids in single parent families and blended families—and the adults who love them.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Kids, I realize that life is not all bad. But this week I want to acknowledge some of the tough things you may be dealing with. Loss and sadness might be at the top of the list. Life has certainly thrown you some curves. Not having your parents together, maybe one has died, having to move between homes, being anxious about whether your parents are going to argue again, forgetting your math book at the other house, and having a stepparent that you didn’t ask for.
Here’s what I want you to know: God cares. He gets it. And he hasn’t forgotten you. And like the people in the Bible that experienced great loss, he will see you through. Trust him. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
