I will give Emma a hug from you on Saturday, Ifeoma, all the way from Nigeria! She’s a faithful volunteer at House of the Harvest each week, and is always wearing a smile.

Emma, has a heart of gold. Indeed our kids model what they see us do!

This is a powerful message. Please blow Emma a kiss and wrap her round in bear hugs for me with loads of love from Nigeria.

PS. I am sharing this post. Thanks for checking up on me all this while! I appreciate your kindness and I do not take your care for granted.
God Bless Lisa.

May God bless you in this new role, Maria! I love your heart that obviously wants the best for your new stepkids. It sounds like you’re already on a good path because you are aware of their need. Often it takes kids awhile to develop that personal relationship with the Lord, but they’ll be blessed to see your example of how it can be done. I appreciate you sharing this here; praying for you and your kids now.

As a new full time stepmom, I have to tread carefully in this area. The kids go to a Christian school so they see God and Jesus as homework. It goes through one ear and comes out the other. There is no relationship with Jesus and it weights heavy on me because as children of divorce, I can tell they (but especially the middle one) needs the love that comes with that relationship. So thank you for posting this.

Yes, your analogy is appropriate, Sarah. Kids repeat what they see. Well, I guess we adults often do too. 🙂 We all need to watch where our gaze goes….

Yes, our prayers keep going on, long after our kids are out of the house and married….and one day, have kids of their own. That’s still a new phase ahead for both of us. 🙂

Not taking it personally…yes. That’s been something I try to remind myself of often, not just with kids, but in all my relationships, long-term or with the one-time cashier at Walmart. Don’t take it personally. And I love when people give me that grace in return. When I wander off, it’s usually more about my own internal struggles and less about the other person (for better or for worse). So grateful that God does indeed redeem all things! I need that. Thanks for sharing, Alecia.

Moving “with” your kids instead of just moving them…love that approach, Kelly. Sometimes those subtle shifts in attitude can make such a huge difference in how our kids (or anybody, really!) are willing to interact with us. I’m sure you are doing a great job in raising lovers—what a beautiful way to put it!

Thanks for your prayers for my healing, Dolly! The past few days have been better, so maybe it will stick this time.
