Episode Transcript
Ron: Godly people try to make friends out of enemies.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Maybe you saw the viral video of the Mom who took a birthday gift to her daughter’s dad…and stepmom. Of course, everybody wanted to know what was behind her giving them both gifts, because, well—Moms and stepmoms are supposed to resent each other and be enemies, right? Well who said that’s the way it’s supposed to be? Just because it often is, doesn’t mean it should be.
See, this Mom was going through a tough time in her life and her ex and the stepmom had been supportive. So, to say “thank you” she took them a gift. The whole world and her daughter got to watch and be inspired. Now that’s how you co-parent. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
