Smith Wigglesworth was a great preacher. But before he was a preacher, he was a plumber who wasn't a Christian – or a very nice man.

Fortunately for him, he had a godly wife.
He didn't want her to go to church, but she went anyway. When she did, he'd lock her out of the house, and when she came home, she'd have to sleep on the back porch. In the morning he'd unlock the door and she'd come in and say, "Good morning, Smithy!" and make him breakfast.
She was a godly example for him. She prayed for him and God gave her the grace to be good to him in spite of his rude behavior. And because she continued to be so good to him, he eventually came to know the Lord and was radically changed. As a result, he became one of the greatest preachers who ever lived.

"Desiring Fruit of the Spirit is Better than Gifts of the Spirit".

very nice and interesting story!! i salute that wife :D ,well she is a model for all wives i think ,more than preaching ,she could reflect the real Christianity in her life' which is very hard for everyone to be in practical....,wen we lead a godly and faithfull life on this earth i think its the best message to the world to realise wt is christianity, such a life is just like a candle that can give fire to hundreds of people in darkness!!!!so lets be the candles for him!!!!:)
