Ron: What, you mean we can eat ham and turkey at Thanksgiving?
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something…no, I’m not talking about a wedding. I’m talking about the holidays…for stepfamilies. You see, one of the challenges for stepfamilies is combining their traditions. You know, he and his kids eat turkey on Thanksgiving and she and hers ham.
So, to prevent world war three, be flexible and keep something old, make something new, and borrow from each other till you find something that works. In other words, you might eat ham and turkey for Thanksgiving. No, there’s no one right answer. Be considerate of each other, talk, compromise, and ask God’s wisdom. You’ll find your way. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
