Bonus: How Do I Build Connection With My Mother/ Daughter(s)-In-Law When It Feels Messy?

Beautiful Mess: Seeking Jesus, Finding Beautiful CONNECTION
As we think of all of our relational connections, there’s both beauty and mess. A common messy connection for women can be with our in-laws. Because it’s a common question and struggle we hear from moms, we want to take an extra episode to share some specific encouragement about how to build connection in these special relationships. And a big part will be seeking Jesus for wisdom.

Two friends join Melanie and Christy: Sara from Colorado and Dorena from Nashville, Tennessee. Sara shares her perspective as a daughter-in-law, and Dorena shares her perspective as a mother-in-love.

Dorena Williamson is an author of kids books that are written with both the child(ren) and adults in mind! Check them out at dorenawilliamson.com/books/.

Discussion questions for today's episode:

• What did you hear that was encouraging today?
• Today’s beautiful Truth is Romans 12:18. How are these words encouraging [or challenging] to you?
• Spend some time in prayer. Name the things that feel especially challenging in your relationship with your in-law(s). Ask the Lord to help you see your relationship through the lens of his lovingkindness and grace. Ask him to lead you in if/when to establish healthy boundaries and if/when to make an extra effort to reach out. Ask him to help you grieve unmet expectations and gain a new view and hope for what your relationship could be.
