Ron: Sometimes you have to have a never say die attitude.

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

Ron: In sports we love players who never give up, who leave it all on the field. In life, it’s the same. Bonding for some stepparents is easy, others, not so much. They’re blocked and tackled before making any progress. Kids do this for different reasons.

Some feel like their family’s being blitzed and they’re cut-off from their parent; some are glad you’re there but remain loyal to their biological parents; and still others, who bonded with you for a season, decided you’re standing in the way of what they want so they throw a new defense at you. You can’t control any of that. But you can stubbornly love, stay in the game, and never say die. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
