If we don\u2019t have grace, then we\u2019re in trouble when it comes to parenting; but God\u2019s grace covers a multitude of parental sins, and we can find hope in that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDave and Ann Wilson have been talking today to Becky Baudouin, who has written a helpful book called <em>Enjoy Every Minute: And Other Ridiculous Things We Say to Moms<\/em>.

There\u2019s great joy and there is great challenge in raising the next generation. David Robbins, who is the president of FamilyLife, is here with us. David, as the dad to four kids, you\u2019ve experienced both of those feelings; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>David: <\/strong>I have, absolutely. Really, in a season right now, where there\u2019s been a lot of exhaustion. Meg and I are finding ourselves with some empty tanks that we\u2019re needing to address with one another. Meg\u2019s parents came for a visit; we were so grateful for them to get to come see us, and our kids, and our new home. While they were here, Meg\u2019s 85-year-old dad got COVID. It got scary; but the Lord was faithful, and he made it through; and we just sent him and his wife home.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMeg and I looked at each other, going, \u201cWe need to be intentional. We <em>are<\/em> exhausted and empty.\u201d What we did is we pulled back out FamilyLife\u2019s new resource\u2014the <em>Dates to Remember<\/em>\u2014we took out Moment 1. We had an amazing\/it prompted an <em>amazing<\/em> two-hour conversation.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt just reminded me that, when we feel exhausted and empty, when we listen to one another with empathy, quality conversations can fill an empty tank. Meg and I were able to hear one another and where we\u2019re really at. That resource, <em>Dates to Remember<\/em>, took us to that place. It did the hard work of setting up the conversation, where we could really go to the places underneath the surface that we needed to go to, looking back at the season we just walked through.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIf you\u2019re finding yourself exhausted at all, if you\u2019re feeling like you need some intentionality\u2014just a little bump and set in order to have some real, honest conversation and quality conversation with one another\u2014I would really encourage you to check out the <em>Dates to Remember<\/em> resource that we have.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>There is information about <em>Dates to Remember<\/em> on our website at FamilyLifeToday.com. You can order it from us online; or if you have any questions, give us a call at 1-800-FLTODAY. Thank you, David.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe hope all of you have a <em>great<\/em> weekend. Hope you\u2019re able to worship together with your local church this weekend, and I hope you can join us back on Monday, especially if your house is a mess.

We\u2019re going to hear from Kathi Lipp, who has some <em>great<\/em> suggestions how to deal with our messiness.
