MEN: married men;
Here is some outstanding counsel!
Duane was standing in front of the stove and I noticed a tiny puddle of buffalo sauce on the floor… Looking all orange and smelling great; I still didn’t want him to step in it and get in on Pewter’s kitchen rug. So I told him, “Stand still. Pick up your left foot. No, your other left foot.” Guys: do you know that man didn’t listen to me! And, on top of that — he moved! Yes, my honey moved before I could tell him why. The nerve!
I properly, and without angry at all (seriously, and keep listening men) chided (this is gentle correction) him for not listening. And, because of him not taking my wise and helpful counsel, I had to wash Pewter’s rug too that day, the very next day after I had already washed it… In my loving, helpful, unappreciated demeanor, I informed this man I love (and since 1979!) “Sometimes you just have to submit to your wife!”
THE LESSON?
Yes, sometimes husbands do need to do what their wives say. After all, we are equal!
Selah!
NOTE: none of the above message was intended to degrade nor embarrass the man mentioned in this true story. We all mess up!
AND all the husbands said, “Amen!”
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.
