CINNAMON QUANDARY…
ON THE MORNING OF AUGUST 29th, as usual Duane was making breakfast! (God is good!) We had decided on scrambled eggs, sausage, and cinnamon rolls. I like the small ones with lots of that delicious icing. My idea: that’s what I wanted…
But at one point the day before he had something negative about my favorite and spoke of the big ones he much preferred. Well, this took pleasure out of it for me. Now remember: I have the mind of Christ! So I wisely said, “Let’s get both! Herbie would love the leftovers!”
NOTE: for you to know who Herbie is, go to my first book, JOY STORIES, VOLUME ONE, and read all about Herbie! It is a true story! It’s great!!
Naturally, Duane didn’t like the idea…
at first.
But he did succumb and we both enjoyed what we both truly wanted: cinnamon rolls!
It’s not a big deal to have leftover cinnamon rolls we both don’t need. But it is great fun to have something we love and rarely ever have!!
AND: Herbie and Company (the other squirrels) will truly enjoy the leftovers!
LESSON:
Sometimes husbands and wives can both have their ways… Sometimes they can’t. Choose your resolutions lovingly and celebrate the differences that bring no harm!
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.
