Your Question:
How do I tell my kids we're losing our home?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've had my fair share of conversations with families going through tough times. When it comes to telling your kids that you're losing your home, it's essential to approach the conversation with sensitivity and honesty. My advice would be to sit down with them, look them in the eye, and explain the situation in a way that they can understand. Be prepared to answer their questions and offer reassurance that you'll do everything you can to support them through this difficult time. It's also crucial to remember that your children are growing up and will soon be leaving the nest. As you prepare them for this transition, emphasize the importance of building their own lives and making their own decisions. This is a time for them to learn and grow, and it's essential to give them the freedom to do so. You can say something like, "We're going to be building our own house now, raising the next generation of passionate Jesus followers. You'll be formulating your own way of living and making your own decisions, and we'll be here to support you every step of the way." As you have this conversation, try to focus on the positive aspects of this new chapter in your children's lives. You can remind them that you love them and will always be there for them, no matter what. You can also emphasize the importance of finding a good church community, just like the one we have at our church, where they can find support and guidance. By approaching this conversation with empathy, honesty, and a sense of hope, you can help your children navigate this challenging time and look forward to a brighter future.
