THE BONDED FAMILY'S PURPOSE
is to offer encouragement, hope, insight, and
motivation to blended families. We offer a plan to move your
family forward with a renewed spirit.
'Unless the Lord builds the house,
its builders labor in vain...'
Psalm 127 :
1
We offer seminars, workshops,
community events, and conferences. We join you
in churches, at schools, serving corporate HR teams,
government agencies, and any organization who truly
seek to reach out and 'make a difference' in
their respective community. Together we can serve a
growing family population called the 'BLENDED FAMILY'.
The need for support, information and
encouragement for step-families is God-sized and we seek to
serve in this arena.
Our nation desperately needs people who will commit
their energy, faith and devotion to spreading light to the
darkness for step-families.
'Watch the nations and be amazed, for I am going
to do something in your day, that you would not
believe...even if you were
told.'
Habakkuk 1: 5
At THE BONDED FAMILY our
mission entails daily prayer, research and seeking out the
best and brightest resources in America. From that we offer
up-to-date, relevant training deliverables that sets forth a
faith-based message, solid professional advice, and the
collective experience of over 40 years of living through, and
parenting in, a step-family / blended family environment.
It is by
chance we become a step-family... It is by God's
hand we become a
family.
Lack of
information runs rampant in blended families. At The Bonded
Family we have done your homework
and research. We
also have lived through your tests. We firsthand understand the challenges being
faced. The wounds. The baggage. The dynamics. The
landmines. The emotions. The unmet
expectations. The fresh starts. The
attitudes. The step-parenting high success / low
success approaches. The step-children correct and incorrect views
of their situation. It is through both our success, and yes, our
failures, that we hope to bless you. Together we will successfully all work to
building a stronger blended family.
Be kind to each other,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ
has forgiven you. Ephesians
4:32
While
there is no black and white answer or solutions, as each family and each family situation is
unique, The Bonded Family has resources and ideas that will offer
a compass, a lighthouse, and a map that can relate to your
situation.
"SOMEBODY SWITCHED THE PRICE
TAGS" Businesses invest millions to garner
'Best Practices' concepts. Parents invest thousands in
summer sports camps for their children. We research
for the best car, the best neighborhood, the best plasma
TV. Information seeking is a newfound American
obsession. Yet we have found
that parents often end up spending thousands
of dollars and multiple trips and countless hours
struggling and sharing with professional
counselors only AFTER a step-family challenges
arise. The real joy and peace they seek doesn't always have the
value or priority. Somehow our 'values price tags got
switched.'
WHAT THE BONDED FAMILYÔ
ENCOURAGES. We encourage families to invest their time up
front, and pro-actively join us for an upbeat, informative,
motivating and positive message. Often for less
than the investment of just one counseling session. You
will see that building a 'Family Constitution' can increase
your success and will offer a roadmap for the
journey by their new
family.
Being in a
Blended Family can and should be a blessing that
will bring you in a newfound family
togetherness. The right foundation and skills are needed to
accomplish this successfully.
We seek to see in your
family spirit, parents & children a desire, a covenant,
a family mission to go FROM BROKEN and BRANDED, TO BLENDED, TO BONDED.
BONDED by a higher purpose, a "Greater Yes".
CAN WE IMPACT THE VERY SPIRIT OF A
NATION? Our mission is to help improve your step-family
success, and doing so make a difference in the very spirit of
our nation. President's Kennedy and Reagan often spoke to the
future, about leaving a legacy, and what we can
do for the next generation. With God as our foundation, and
such men of vision as encouragement, we will forge a course
toward success and seek to lead boldly for families. We have set
forth on this Bonded Family mission to change America for tomorrow's
sake.
Together we can transform 'blended families'
into ‘bonded families’.
We'll pass a torch of hope, love, compassion
and grace of God.
We'll define a
new step family legacy and
a brighter generation of Americans.
YES WE CAN believe the energy,
faith and devotion we will bring to this endeavor will
pass the light that will pierce the darkness and brighten
the world for these special families. Only Divine
Providence can transform Step-families into 'Bonded
Families".
