Plan a crockpot meal and then gather your family in the kitchen. Have each person add one ingredient to the crockpot while you talk about how stepfamilies come together. Each of us, you might say, is part of this dish. We may enter the pot uncooked, but over time, love warms our hearts and we come together. A crockpot meal takes many hours to cook and our family may take a long time to mix, but eventually, we're going to taste really good." Have fun making the meal and have fun eating dinner.

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: Yes, I need to explain that, don’t I? Plan a crockpot meal and then gather your family in the kitchen. Have each person add one ingredient to the crockpot while you talk about how stepfamilies come together.

“Each of us,” you might say, “is part of this dish. We may enter the pot uncooked, but over time, love warms our hearts and we come together. Now here’s the thing: a crockpot meal takes many hours to cook and our family may take a long time to combine as well, but eventually, we’re going to taste really good.” Have fun making the meal and have fun eating dinner. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m crockpot chef, Ron Deal.
