Your Question:
How do I tell my family we're going to lose our home?
Answer:
I can relate to the difficulty of having this conversation with your family. As a pastor, I've had to have tough conversations with my congregation, and I've also had to have them with my own family. When we first got married, Susan and I had to have a conversation about our expectations for our home. We realized that we wanted to give our children the freedom to build their own lives and make their own decisions, even if it meant they wouldn't be living with us forever. When our children were getting older, we started to talk about the possibility of them moving out and starting their own families. We wanted to make sure they knew that our home was always a safe and welcoming place for them, no matter what. So, we gave them a key to the house, as a symbol of our love and support. We told them that our home would always be here for them, and that we respected their need to build their own lives and families. When it comes to having this conversation with your family, I would suggest being honest and open about your concerns and expectations. It's okay to be vulnerable and admit that you're not sure what the future holds. But also, be sure to reassure your family that you love and support them, no matter what. And, as I always say to my congregation, "God shows favor to the humble." Be willing to listen to your family's concerns and work together to find a solution that works for everyone.
