Rabbit Ears
Picking Up Stepfamily
Signals Around You.
Recently I was with my good friend Dr. Randy Shepard at a coffee place called GUSTO! in Lee's Summit. We were discussing technology and college funding, two of his many areas of expertise. In the shop was David Davies, another great friend of our ministry and a 'Bonafide Encourager' in every sense of the word. He was across the room 'encouraging' (of course) a young man in some way. I approached to say hello.
After meeting his friend, the young man shared 'I've heard you speak. You shared at our early morning breakfast meeting last year' and then he, unbeknowst to him, inspired me. He said 'You know, since you shared about the number of people facing struggles in stepfamilies in America, all of a sudden I now have my antenna up, and have found many people around me, that I pointed to your ministry'.
This is indeed what we are seeing as we put forth our message of encouragement, hope, practical tips and inspiration. The more people know about the 'under the radar' demographic, the more they are 'willing to reach out'. That is powerful.
So here is our 'REACH OUT CHALLENGE' to YOU.
Picture walking around with these 'rabbit ears' on your head.
BLENDED FAMILY
RABBIT EARS ANTENNA
For generations rabbit ear antenna has been used to 'tune in' to a TV or radio signal. I propose that you be a 'difference maker' in somebodies life. Begin today to start 'tuning in' to the potential stepfamily frequency signal. You may find signals and families all around you. See with over 23+ stepfamily there is absolutely the statistical probability that within your family, workplace, church or circle of friends that you know multiple cases of blended families. Perhaps you'll notice a larger family that may not all resemble one another. some match Dad, some more to Mom. Or you may be witness to a conversation that is talking about a stepdad or stepmom. Maybe even see or experience a drop off or exchange of children. With your 'antenna up', you now are able to be a positive force in their life if you witness any challenges. Yuo can say 'did you know there are organizations out there that can help?' Often times you may not know they may be struggling because they are having unique to their family stepfamily dynamic issues and don't want people to know. YOU can now be a helper and a HERO!YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
