ADVICE FOR THE WIFE:
KNOW THE CHARACTER OF YOUR HUSBAND…
On March 18th Duane and I went to Home Depot (it was allowed by our government and we love people. We are that light.) Upon leaving after we purchased a beautiful new kitchen ceiling fan I spotted an acquaintance / friend of mine. Not certain at first it was him, I looked closer. It was Dave and his young son.
Dave needed help with some plywood that was too big for his son to help him with. I called his name and he immediately saw me. I called out again loudly: “Dave, do you need some help?” I love when a man says this! “I would absolutely love help!” No false ego here.
BECAUSE I KNOW THE CHARACTER of my man, I said without even asking Duane: “Duane will help you!” Without hesitation Duane went over and gave a not only helping hand, but a loving hand. Remember: my husband is an emergency room nurse whose purpose in life is to bless God and man!
Not only did we bless and receive blessing, but in addition to this we were able to help validate to Dave God’s protective hand during the pandemic. We reminded him of the blood of Jesus; that the stripes He took was for our healing; I told Dave about a great and helpful book by Perry Stone, The Meal That Heals.
A godly person jumps in and doesn’t run in fear. Yes, Duane was right there to help Dave and I knew I didn’t have to ask.
P.S. Know how to comfort ANYONE with the truth of God’s love and protection: available to all to surrender to Him.
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.
