Welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. I'm so glad you're here today. We're going to continue our series called Unshakeable.

Rick is taking us through the book of Daniel, and that's so we'll be equipped to handle whatever curveball life throws at us, even the most difficult trials.

And now here's Rick with part two of a message called

the kind of prayer God answers. Husbands, let me talk to you for just a minute. I'm going to

give you a marriage tip that will pay great dividends in your life, the rest of your life. You're listening

to a guy who's been married 41 years.

Here's a big tip for every husband. I have noticed, and I've developed this habit, that whenever Kay talks to me, I turn my face toward her. Physically. Whenever she starts talking, I literally turn my face toward her.

And you know what I've learned?

She likes it.

In fact, she loves it.

Because when you turn your face to somebody, it's that you have my undivided attention. I'm totally focused on you.

You like this. Yeah, all the wives are clapping right now. Okay, great, great. Yeah, okay. Everybody likes this. When you talk, you want people to turn their focus to you. Pity the poor substitute teacher who stands up in class

and she's trying to teach and nobody's looking at her. And it's like in the old Peanuts cartoons,

wow, wah, wah, wah, wah, and she's just blathering on, nobody's tuned in, nobody's listening.

Turning your face shows attention.

When my kids were little, they used to grab me by the face, say, look at me, daddy.

You're not paying attention.

Look at me, daddy.

They wanted eye-to-eye contact.

That is the highest gift you give anybody is your attention.

It's more important than chocolate roses or money.

Giving your kids, your wife, your attention is the highest gift
