A moment ago I put away laundry… As I was heading into the bedroom from the rec room with it, Tina (our Terrier rescue mix) was like a bullet! I heard her run and I knew she was coming for FRESH LAUNDRY.
Tina and our Russian Blue rescue cat, Pewter, love warm and soft clothes and things laying on the bed. They go for the biggest lump to cuddle into. And because God has given me a soft and wise spirit, I let Tina keep many hand towels to snuggle with. I even put some on her and more closely around her! I love that dog! And: I tell her many, many times I day: “I love you!”
Proverbs 12:10
The righteous care for the needs of their animals, but the kindest acts of the wicked are cruel.
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.
