I feel like nowadays, Step parents do not get nearly enough credit for what they do. Taking a child that is not their own and loving AND raising them anyways takes a lot of guts and hard work. When I read another article in the same style of "When you give a mouse a cookie" I thought I would add my own twist to it. This one is for you, Kim!
When you give a girl a step Mom, the girl might not like her very much at first.
For years she read storybooks about the evil Step Mom and all the horrible things associated with her.
So, She might be jealous that her Dad has found his new half. That is the girl's Dad after all, her best friend.
When you give a girl a step Mom, the two may argue but quickly realize that you have more in common than you thought.
So the girl gives her a chance, after all what could the girl lose?
When you give a girl a Step Mom, she also gained another family. One's who love, cherish, and treat her like their own.
She's welcomed with open arms and has Aunts, Uncles, a Brother, and multiple new cousins she can depend on for help.
When you give a girl a Step Mom, you realize that she's your friend, not your enemy. She's there to support and love you, even when she doesn't have to.
She listens to you and prays for you every night, even when the girl no longer calls her every day.
When you give a girl a Step Mom, you realize she knew how hard it would be to raise a child who wasn't her own.
She will never give up on you, but never want to replace your Mother.
When you give a girl a Step Mom, she won't realize how lucky she is and how much she loves her until she is much older.
When a Step Mom gets a girl, she knew it wouldn't be hard work. After all, raising someone else's child is no easy task.
She knew that the girl was headstrong, much like her. However, she loved her anyways.
When you give a Step Mom a girl, all of her prayers and patience paid off. For years she thought what she had done for the girl was virtually unnoticed.
What she didn't know was it was noticed. The girl was just a teenager and took her kindness and compassion for granted like most teenagers do.
When you give a Step Mom a girl, she does so much more than cooking and cleaning. She diligently listens to the girl about boy problems. She wipes away her tears when she's sad.
But most importantly, when you give a Step Mom a girl, she beams with pride at what all the girl has accomplished. The scared little girl is no longer little. She's a strong confident young woman who knows her worth...
All because God gave her a Step Mom.
