Receive the Gift You Have
Brandon's first marriage was wonderful but ended tragically when his wife died. Victoria, his second wife, felt pressure to restore what was lost for him. So, she joined him in spending all his free time with his kids and grandkids. But in the process she became invisible and lonely. Sometimes we try to create or recreate the perfect home and miss what's in front of us. Adjust your vision and expectations. See the gift God has given you and don't try to turn them into something else.
