Are you ready for this? I'm about to compliment you...

Dave Wilson: Are you ready for this? I'm about to compliment you.

Ann Wilson: Yes, yes, do it. This is Real FamilyLife with Dave and Ann Wilson.

Dave Wilson: Ephesians 2:10 says we are God's workmanship, a work of art, a masterpiece. Your masterpiece is that you serve people like they matter. People often bug me, but you love them and see greatness in them. I am not kidding; it drives me crazy sometimes.

You are always seeing the greatness, whether it's in our kids, a neighbor, or a stranger. You go out of your way to love them, serve them, and make them feel special.

Ann Wilson: This is the best day ever.

Dave Wilson: Tell your spouse today how they too are God's workmanship.
