When I send Duane an email I only do it when I need him to buy something… I’m one woman who wants physical and audio interaction. (My grandchildren will never get me to text!)
Like today, I need him to order a certain and special type of crochet hook at Michael’s Arts and Crafts.
We are very occupied people: and one of our main goals is blessing others in serving them in the name and through the blood of Jesus Christ, forever praised. Amen! So, when I send him emails I never write more than necessary… Today I gave him the description of the crochet hook I needed. That’s it.
Selah!
My point? Duane gets my mushy stuff (kisses, hugs, “I love you(s)!” in person (or on the phone when we are physically separated)!
P.S. Earlier this morning he was taking Tina for a walk. Saying goodbye, Duane started heading for the door… But wait! I immediately yelled out (loudly!) “Hey!” He wasn’t going to give me my kiss! And: furthermore, he didn’t give me an opportunity to give him his!! (Worse yet – smile!)
Beloved, every once in a while Duane loves to do this just to get a reaction! (It IS fun!)
Remember: we’ve been married since September 28, 1979!
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.
