Ron: This Mother’s Day churches all over America have a wonderful opportunity to connect the hearts of stepmoms to their stepchildren. And, today I’ll tell you how.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: Attending church on Mother’s Day is an awkward time for many stepmoms. But pastors can change that with just a few simple words. Something like, “You know today is Mother’s Day, a time to honor God’s gift we call “mom.” If you’re a mom, a stepmom, an adoptive mother, a foster mother, or a woman who cares for children in any capacity would you please stand so we can honor you?”

You know it may not seem like much but specifically using the word “stepmom” is really validating. And it encourages her stepchildren to consider her worth and appreciate her.

For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.

Announcer: To find how your church can help stepmoms this Mother’s Day go to familylifeblended.com.
