His First Concern
"Ron, my ghost says my second husband will abandon me like my first one did; I won't be enough for him; and he will always consider the mother of his children his first concern." Ghosts make us fearful that we are second. But when do you start counting? This woman thought his first wife was his first love but maybe his first love was his first romance. How often are we the first? Perhaps what's needed here is confidence, in yourself as a person of worth, and in your spouse's commitment to you.

Ghosts are scary.
Ron: Ghosts are scary.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: “Ron, my ghost says my second husband will abandon me just like my first one did; that I won’t be enough for him; and that he will always consider the mother of his children his first concern.”
Yeah, ghosts make us fearful that we are second. But when do you start counting? This woman thought his first wife was really his first love but maybe his first love was his first romance or his first high school sweetheart. I’m mean, how often are we really the first? Perhaps what’s needed here is confidence, in yourself as a person of worth, and in your spouse’s commitment to you. Live as if all of that is true and you may just bust your ghost. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
