Ron: Grandparents can set the tone for a lot in a family.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Wanda’s parents divorced when she was young which brought many stepsiblings and stepparents in and out of her life. But instead of fracturing into the Hatfields and McCoys, her grandparents and stepgrandparents insisted that everyone get along and that all children be accepted as part of the family. Everyone belonged. They set a tone for love and inclusion for new people and old, that rippled positive attitudes throughout multiple homes.
I think we can all learn a lesson from Wanda’s grandparents: an assertive, but grace-filled heart can bring healing love to a challenging situation.
For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
