Hey there, David Robbins here, president of family life.

Do you ever feel like your attempts to create a healthy family

have fallen desperately short?

Maybe you're a single mom and you're lonely,

or a frazzled dad and you're confused. I know for me I have

been that multiple times this year. Perhaps a disappointed grandparent and can't figure out how to

recover lost time. I'm here to tell you God is not finished

writing your story. Family life today isn't a ministry designed for perfect families

provided by perfect families.

Instead, we recognize fully that God comes alongside us in our brokenness.

He restores us when we feel like we have nothing to offer.

He perfects us and his grace is sufficient

when we feel the depths of our need.

And in doing so, he helps us cultivate godly homes.

We are joining God in redeeming families through family life today

and right now we're in a season of replenishing the arsenal

so that we can continue to serve as a resource

to families next year. Please, while the matching challenge is active, do your

part in helping other families become their best.

God wants to use families like yours and like mine

to communicate his love and compassion to moms, dads,

grandparents, singles, and others.
