A Face Hard to Love

December 15, 2016

Have you ever heard the phrase now that’s a face only a parent could love?

 

What if you are the stepparent and your stepchild has a big attitude problem where they lie to you? Or they are 28 years old, lazy, and eating all your food? Some kids are harder to love than others. So what do you do? First, pray about it. Pray about them. No, on second thought pray for them and pray for God’s strength to love them. Then find one interest that you share in common and build on it. It may not feel like much but it is a start.
