Hello, and happy nu year! Hope your day's going well? Today's story is about a woman named Tama and how she worked her marriage.... I hope it brightens your day.........enjoy!
Once upon a time in a far away Iceland north of the Antarctica, lived a gentoo penguin and his wife. They had been married for more than 60 years and had no issue yet they loved each other deeply.
They shared everything, talked about everything, and kept no secrets from each other except that Tama had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned him never to open or ask her about.
For all of these years, he let her be and didn’t worry about the box.
But one day, Tama got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. Everyone was sad, particularly her husband. She was a very kind and friendly woman, and was loved by all. Yet the doctor had said she would not recover from her illness.
In trying to sort out their affairs, her husband took down the shoe box and took it to her bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling N5,000
So he asked her about the contents.
“When we were to be married,” she said, “my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll”
He was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box, meaning that she had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving.
He almost burst with happiness.
“Honey” he said, “that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?”
“Oh” Tama responded, “that's the money I made from renting out the dolls”
Here’s a prayer you may like to make...
Dear Lord,
I pray for wisdom to understand my spouse; grace to genuinely forgive when I need to; grace to be patience with mood swings; and the strength to truly remain one with ‘em because Lord, if I pray for Strength, I'll scream him to death, because I’m not sure I can crochet like Tama. Amen.
