We have a very similar situation and it's been weird/difficult/confusing to know how to deal with all the cr@p that comes from living outside of God's ideal for the family. We also don't refer to our younger 3 kids as Grace's stepsiblings, but it is strange for them to see Sissy going to her dad's house (Richard is "Papa") every other weekend. Thankfully he doesn't have other children, nor does it look likely that he ever will. I can't imagine how difficult that added element must be. But yes, that exposure to the consequences of OUR sin and bad decisions is almost overwhelmingly difficult. God's grace is the only thing we can rely on to make beauty from ashes, and to redeem every weakness. Thank you for your post. Almost no one else in my life can relate to our situation so it's good to hear your point of view. I wouldn't mind if you wrote more on it! =]melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15690351350193667741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027508076713286382.post-39398154814553824962011-01-11T10:12:51.220-06:002011-01-11T10:12:51.220-06:00Thanks for your genuine post today.

I can understand the effects of divorce on children as my parents are divorced and so are my husband's parents- so for Christmas we usually run around the households and it is very exhausting. <br /><br />I know God will give you the grace to handle each question that comes up- just take it one day at a time! <br />your children are blessed to have a steady and godly home with you and your husband.Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052196421914129444noreply@blogger.com
