Ron: What happens when a dad and stepdad team up? Kids win—that’s what happens.
Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: Maybe you saw the story about the dad who before walking his daughter down the aisle at her wedding said, “I’ll be back,” and then bolted down the aisle, grabbed the arm of his daughter’s stepdad and said, “Come on. You helped raise her, help me walk our daughter down the aisle.” Wow. After years of animosity and competition he said “our daughter.”
Well, you know what happened next. The daughter is crying, the stepdad is crying…everyone is crying. And they walked her down the aisle. Now that kind of selflessness is how you bless a child and change a nation. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
