gadget was. The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage told her exactly 
where to go and recommended a certain brand of that gadget. I had no 
idea what she was talking about. 

I'm not very smart about gadgets and fix-it-up tools, but I am pretty
smart about finances. 

Once, we went into the bank to do a little business, which I needed
there. The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage went with me, and as we 
talked, she had no idea what we were talking about. Finance is not her 
strong point. I know more about finances than I do about fixing up 
anything. 

It boils down to this: I can break anything, she can fix anything, and I
can pay the bill. What more do you need for life to be happy? 

After 53 years of marriage, we have come to an understanding of our
position. When anything is broken, I'm not allowed to touch it. That is 
the responsibility of the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage. We accept 
our situation and respect each other's strengths and weaknesses. The 
motto in our house is simply this: “I break it, she fixes it.” 

I thought about a Bible verse, James 1:5-6, “If any of you lack wisdom,
let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth 
not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing 
wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with 
the wind and tossed.” 

I do not base my life on my wisdom, rather on God's wisdom that He gives
abundantly to all who believe in Him.
