      TENNIS WIFE

      PREFACE & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

      This story was written during marriage therapy sessions with Father God. It tells how God used the very thing that had become an 18-year wedge in our marriage. My husband Alex fell in love with the game of tennis over 18 years ago. In the beginning I hated the game because he loved it so much.

Alex played so long at the court so to keep from becoming angry with him I started taking my tablet and a notebook just to jot down significant habits I saw that would be useful to me in the ministry.  Alex smiled a lot.

I noticed that everyone shook his hand in honor. As they watched him walk away onto the court they gave high accolades. I was beginning to like going with him to the local courts to play tennis which soon turned into travel and writing!

      Something great was happening! I noticed he felt honored by my attendance which seemed to bring some type of healing for him. As a result, at
