TIP #2
THIS MAY VERY WELL BE JUST ONE OF MY GREATEST TIPS:
it certainly is one of my favorites!
Let me first emphasize it’s so great that on a particular Mother’s Day part of my family and I were talking to the pastor, one of my forever heroes and without a doubt, an all-around great guy! He lovingly asked me about my plans for the day and as we got into the subject of holiday celebrations one of my favorites gifts to my husband came up… I’ll tell you about it momentarily: but I want to tell you friends, he was so impressed his eyes widened in surprise and joy that I am such a great wife! I am a role model!
No, I don’t have a big head! I give God all the glory that He has put such love in my heart!
Psalm 51:7-12
Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.
Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
I am one of those who deeply appreciates celebrating each day:
Psalm 84:10
For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand [anywhere else]; I would rather be a doorkeeper and stand at the threshold in the house of my God than to dwell [at ease] in the tents of wickedness.
Psalm 118:24
This is the day which the Lord has brought about; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

TIP #2
ONE OF THE GREATEST GIFTS I GIVE MY HUSBAND IS THIS:
I encourage him in his love for hunting! I am willing to celebrate our wedding anniversary (THIRTY-NINE YEARS THIS SEPTEMBER, 2018!) on another day! Why? Because the hunting season is so very short for him and I love him! Our marriage is solid!
Honestly, ladies I am so joyful to give my beloved such a sweet gift!
Duane goes hunting with my blessing – making it even a greater time for him. AND: the celebration of our wedding anniversary is truly even much more lovely!
ADVICE TO THE WIFE: GO! And do the same!
Growing up in a home without the love for God, an invalid father, heavy financial hardships, and tremendous (sometimes dangerous) discord is always difficult. Add on to that extreme shyness, a feeling of inferiority, and some may think this girl was rejected. But God’s hand was on her and His heart was for her. Today, Ann Marie Turner has performed many great services in Jesus’ name for the love of God and man; and for herself! She has ministered in the male correctional for over ten years. Along with this website, Ann is the author of Joy Stories, Volume One and The Free Incarcerated Man. Writing about the joy of the Lord and the victory that is available for a willing soul is one of Ann’s now greatest joys! Ann’s prayer for you is to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. Celebrate the God of the Bible and your personal victories in Christ unceasingly! Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
