TIP #17
BE PATIENT and let your wife know what’s going on.
Today my husband fixed our garage door. The spring broke, or something like that; I am not mechanical. He was great! He was patient! He waited for warmer weather (remember: we live in Minnesota and it’s been an extremely snowy year.) The temp today is in the 30’s / 40’s. For all you Floridians and Hawaiians, that’s pretty warm!
Duane fixed that garage door sooner than he thought he would! He kept me aware of what he was going to do and when. Ya! I totally knew he didn’t need to do it in the frigid temps. So, my scraping off the windows to my car (Samson – who never breaks down!) was a mere inconvenience and also and act of love…
I knew Duane would fix that door! He’s got game!
MEN MAKE YOUR WIVES PROUD!
Galatians 2:6
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
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.
