0:00.0	Welcome everyone to Family Talk. It's a ministry of the James Dobson Family Institute, supported by listeners just like you.
0:08.1	I'm Dr. James Dobson, and I'm thrilled that you've joined us.
0:19.6	Well, welcome to another edition of Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk. I'm Roger Marsh, so glad you've
0:25.8	tuned in today for a special conversation about the important role that grandparents play
0:30.8	in the lives of their grandchildren. Now, we hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family.
0:35.2	Maybe you got to spend it with the kids, grandkids, or possibly even your great-grandchildren. And if you had four generations together,
0:41.9	you are very, very blessed. And if for some reason yesterday was maybe a day of sadness,
0:47.0	a tender reflection, because it was the first time. This happens at every Thanksgiving table.
0:52.1	There's always that first major holiday without grandma or grandpa or someone who has gone

1:06.4	be part of the holiday season with you and your family.
1:08.8	Now, before we get into today's broadcast, a reminder,
1:11.6	coming up this Tuesday, of course, today is what they call Black Friday and lots of people
1:15.1	are doing a lot of shopping. But coming up Tuesday, December the 3rd is a very special day in the
1:20.2	online nonprofit world, and that is called Giving Tuesday. This is an opportunity after you've
1:25.9	gone through all the Thanksgiving holiday shopping spree that happens on Thanksgiving weekend.
1:31.0	The Tuesday after Thanksgiving has traditionally become a day when we give thanks and also show support for the nonprofit organizations that mean the most to us.
1:40.6	As you are a regular listener of James Thompson's family talk and the Dr. James
1:44.8	Dobson Family Institute, we encourage you to give a gift online at Dr. James Dobson.org.
1:50.6	It's absolutely secure on Giving Tuesday. Now, the reason I'm telling you to make that contribution
1:56.2	on Giving Tuesday is we have a very special matching grant in place for Tuesday, December 3rd only.
