There’s a woman on my street that I have come to know. She’s dear, and real, and dedicated. Her situation is complicated, and blended, and she does what she thinks is best so that her family unit can be supported, and celebrated. Blended families might be a tough thing, there might be times when they present their own unique challenges, but it is still family. It still fulfills the purpose of encouragement and companionship, and keeps people from being alone…which is a true evil. Adrian, today I celebrate you and your family. May God weave His redemption and goodness through the fabric you weave, and grant you graces for the times when tough love is needed. Thank you for your friendship.
