Episode Transcript
Ron: Romans 12:18 says, “as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.” As far as it depends on you.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Every year millions of kids become part of a family by adoption, foster parenting, or marriage and they get lots of new family members. Now, you can’t make those kids love you, but here are a few things you can do to help you live at peace.
Take interest in the child’s interests; join them in the books, sports, activities, and music they like. Actively pursue connection, and if you get discouraged don’t give up. Stay engaged. Spend time together, take special trips, or take part in service activities together. Love is your goal and time is your friend. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
