Surrogate Family

Grieving the family you never had? (God's plan) |

Are you grieving the family you didn't have? Let's talk about the beauty of "surrogate" family and how God fills the gaps. ❤️🩹 As a dad raising a son, listening to this conversation hit me right in the chest. When you come from a fractured family tree, one of the deepest, quietest pains is realizing your kids might lack the grandparents, aunts, or uncles they deserve. But as my guest shared today, when you lack that biological foundation, God has a beautiful way of providing "surrogates." You might have friends who step in and love your kids so fiercely that they become family. They become the aunts, the uncles, and the grandparents your kids need. It’s not just a coping mechanism; it’s a gift. It’s God's family stepping into the gaps. If you feel like your family is lacking today, look around at the healthy people stepping into your life. That is family. 💬 Let me know in the comments: Who is a "surrogate" family member in your life that you are incredibly grateful for?
