Thanksgiving is over, now what?

Thanksgiving has passed, how did your blended family handle the holiday? Was there any drama or triumphs? What is something that you are thankful for that occurred during the holiday?

Your perspective

Coincidences...... I don't believe in those. I believe that EVERYTHING happens for a purpose. Sometimes it takes us awhile to see this, especially in the hard, uncomfortable things. How many blended families out there understood that they were blended for a purpose from the beginning? For me it took awhile, it took years of me crying to God, Why me? God was always there, it was my perspective that had to change. I had to stop being disappointed that MY plans were not working and see HIS plans. Trusting His plans allows you to be grateful, coincidences just allow you to be glad. How can you change your perspective regarding your blended family?

Holidays

Holidays are full of traditions, how is your blended family starting traditions of your own? How are you dealing with the various dynamics of your family during the holidays? What is your favorite holiday memory with your blended family?

How is this for my purpose?????

One of the hardest things to deal with or understand is how the very things you see as failures, misfortunes, mistakes, and just pure unfairness is..... How can this be
used to fulfill my purpose?????
It is during these very times, the ones we wish would not happen, well at least not to us, that God is able to use us and also teach us who we really are! I don't want to sound like I have all of the answers or even that my life is perfect.... Lets just say that God has taught me a lot through life experiences. It is these experiences that led me to create this blog. It is through the many life experiences involved with a blended family that gave me the inspiration to want to help other blended families. I not only want to help other blended families through some of the uncomfortable situations like: getting along with each other, communication, co-parenting, respect, dealing with ex's, etc... But I want to help them find and embrace their PURPOSE!
