Answer in a prayer

Last night I went in to get my temple recommend renewed.  I was talking with the counselor and he asked if he would see my husband in here soon as well.  I answered that he would not and couldn’t help but thinking of all the reasons my husband would be unable to renew his recommend.  He said I would have to work on him and we continued our conversation although I stewed over his remark as I have been doing everything in my power to keep the spirit in our home and try and encourage Josh of the reality of God and church without being pushy.  I have prayed many times over what I should be doing as I feel I am not doing enough, but come up blank when I try and think of what more I could be doing.  I was asked if we could begin the interview with a prayer and of course I consented.  To be honest I couldn’t tell you what was said in the prayer because in my mind I finally received the answer I had been looking for: just love him.  Simple I know and I probably received the answer before and just thought it wasn’t enough.  Now I know I am supposed to love my husband and do my best to show him, but I have been so caught up in all we have been going through that I didn’t really consider that my love for Josh might be the only way Josh is able to accept and feel the love of our Lord.  I felt a strong peace and knowledge in my heart and for the first time in a while I thought, I can do that.  I am so grateful for the man holding the interview that he was in tune to be a conduit for the spirit that I might receive that confirmation.  I love my church and my relationship with the Lord as it is through these things that I survive each day
