Part 1 of 3

Are you willing to let God turn your heart to honor your woman-in-law on May 11th? How can you make this Mother's Day one to remember?

One of the great "happily-ever-after" stories in the Bible is found in the first five chapters of Ruth. Initially, they are not alike in any way: different culture, ethnicity, faith, customs, and traditions. But God brings them together, creating a family – first changing Ruth's heart and then Naomi's.

Holiday’s with the in-laws are often a struggle. Mamas never want to let go of their baby boy; daddies have a hard time seeing their princess with another man. Even if you’ve been married for 10, 15, or 20 years, listen in as author and speaker Deb DeArmond gives some relationship-saving advice.

There is no such thing as the “perfect family” – no, not even your pastor’s family life is perfect. We're all human. Even with the best intentions, we all fail each other at times. Be realistic about your requirements for perfection. When expectations aren't met, we may be tempted to be disappointed and hurt. Choose to let the little stuff go.

Deb reminds men about the need to be flexible on special holidays such as Mother’s Day. It's not about the date and location, it's about the time together. Carefully schedule time to spend together with not only your mom, but her mom as well.

This segment is for all you Mother-In-Laws. Sharing the spotlight on Mother's Day might be new to you. A new mom in the family means new babies – your grandbabies!

If there has been tension between you and your daughter-in-law in the past, make a decision to honor her - and God - by finding something you can appreciate about her. Your daughter-in-law may not be a great cook by your standards, but you can see what a great mom she is. Tell her.

Likewise, your mother-in-law might have the tendency to be nosy and overbearing, but remember she did raise the man of your dreams. Mother's Day is a great time to say "Thank you."
