It\u2019s full of resources, articles, help for single moms. Go to FamilyLifeToday.com and the link is available there.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tAgain, I hope you have been thinking this week, as Dave and Ann Wilson have been talking with PeggySue Wells and Pam Farrel about single moms, I hope you\u2019ve been thinking about single moms you know, single moms you could reach out to, single moms you could help\/you could support. This week, we\u2019re giving away copies of the book that PeggySue and Pam have written, called <em>The 10 Best Decisions a Single Mom Can Make.<\/em> We\u2019re making that available to anyone who can make a donation of any amount to help support the ongoing work of <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOur goal, at FamilyLife, is to effectively develop godly marriages and families. We want to see every home be a godly home. No matter what the condition of the home is today, we want to <em>move<\/em> it in a direction toward Jesus. You help accelerate that goal when you donate to support the work of FamilyLife; you become a partner with us in effectively developing godly marriages and families.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhen you make a donation today, we\u2019d love to send you, upon your request, a copy of the book, <em>The 10 Best Decisions a Single Mom Can Make<\/em>, for yourself or to pass onto a single mom you know. Go to FamilyLifeToday.com to donate, or call 1-800-FL-TODAY to donate. Again, the website is FamilyLifeToday.com. You can call to donate at 1-800-358-6329; that\u2019s 1-800-\u201cF\u201d as in family, \u201cL\u201d as in life, and then the word, \u201cTODAY.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tDavid Robbins, who\u2019s the president of FamilyLife, is here with us today. David, we\u2019ve been talking about every home becoming a godly home. We\u2019re not talking about homes becoming perfect homes, because there is no such thing; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>David: <\/strong>That\u2019s right, Bob. I remember the evening that Meg and I were asked to consider this job of FamilyLife President. I remember Meg\u2019s response to the board member that was asking us was, \u201cUh, you would not be asking us to do this if you were with us today.\u201d She was right; I mean, we had had a really hard day as a family. His response was, \u201cWell, that\u2019s actually precisely why we\u2019re asking you; because you\u2019re willing to be honest with the realness of life and plunging your weaknesses into God\u2019s grace.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tA godly home <em>isn\u2019t<\/em> a perfect home. It\u2019s a home that is often repenting and continually surrendering to God. God does not call us to perfection; He calls us to depend upon Him. One of our favorite sayings in our home is: \u201cIf dependence is the goal, then weakness is actually an advantage,\u201d because we experience our weakness all the time. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tGod has called us to depend radically upon Him. Being a people defined by grace assumes we don\u2019t have it all together, and we don\u2019t bring that much to the table. We get to plunge our weaknesses into Him, and be refined and restored by Him, and be a people that trust God in our homes. That\u2019s what it is to be a godly home. Even in our weakest moments, we can know, \u201cOkay, God; I get to come to You again and depend upon You anew, and Your mercies are new every morning.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob: <\/strong>Yes, that\u2019s a great promise. Thank you, David.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWell, I hope our listeners can join us, again, tomorrow when we\u2019re going to talk about the confusing world of <em>dating<\/em> in the 21<sup>st<\/sup> century. I mean, it\u2019s a minefield when you think about trying to date people: \u201cHow do you think about that biblically? What should that look like?\u201d Jonathan Pokluda\u2019s going to be with us tomorrow to talk about that; I hope you can be back with us as well.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOn behalf of our hosts, Dave and Ann Wilson, I\u2019m Bob Lepine.
