Your Question:
How do I tell my kids they're losing their home?
Answer:
Telling your kids they're losing their home is never an easy conversation. As a father of two teenagers, I can understand the difficulty of having to explain this to them. When I think about it, I remember when our last child was finishing college, and we looked around at our big empty house on a hill. It was a challenging time, but we knew it was a necessary step in their growth and independence. When you have to have this conversation with your kids, it's essential to be honest and supportive. You want to let them know that you'll always be there for them, no matter what. I recall a passage from Isaiah 58:12, which says, "You will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings." This reminds me that as parents, we have a responsibility to help our children build their own foundations, even if it means they'll be different from ours. As you have this conversation with your kids, hand them a key to your house. This can be a powerful symbol of your love and commitment to them. It's a reminder that no matter where life takes them, you'll always be there for them. Respect their need to build their own homes and lives differently than yours. This is a time for them to learn and grow, and as their parent, it's your job to support and guide them through this process.
