QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION

In A Dry Creek Family, Maegan Shay is working hard to find the last members of her family. She is unwilling to accept a substitute family if she can’t have her biological family. Have you ever felt like she does? That, even though something is logical, it doesn’t work for you because of your feelings? Tell us about it.

As a child, Maegan prayed for God to give her adoptive parents who were willing to take her and her sisters. When He didn’t give her that, she gave up on Him. Many of us have given up on God at some point in our lives. Has that been your experience? What happened?

If you could have sat down with Maegan at that point (see question 2), what would you have told her about God? Are there any Bible verses you would have showed her?

Clint Parker accepts his niece at his ranch because he believes his brother will return the girl to social services if he doesn’t. Clint is a reluctant parent, but he believes God wants him to do what he can for Lilly. Have you ever accepted a responsibility that belongs to someone else? How did it make you feel?

It was also difficult for Clint to stand in for his brother as Lilly’s guardian because the girl clearly idolized her father and was cool toward Clint. It’s easy for children to take their parents for granted, just like Lilly took her uncle for granted. Do you take people in your family for granted? Do you have any suggestions for how to change this?

Mrs. Hargrove is the one who helps Maegan see things clearly. Do you have someone like Mrs. Hargrove in your life? Are you a Mrs. Hargrove to someone else?
