RECENTLY, MY HUSBAND AND I were out and about at a mall. There was a man and his little son behind us on an escalator. I knew exactly what daddy was doing. He was making a memory and instilling joy in his child – for they reached the top, turned, and immediately got on the down escalator we were on.
Remembering the fun my son had doing this, I asked this beautiful child if he was having fun. Of course, he was. And mom was standing below waiting for daddy and son to get off and go again! And guess what? She had a camera!
What a smart set of parents and what a blessed son!
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.
