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.
