My Sweet Husband!

I have to write this, and I have to be careful not too embarrass Danny too much. We both our pretty private people when it comes to real feelings about spiritual events. However, there has been a pretty significant change in our lives, or at least there will be. Today, Danny was ordained a high priest, sustained and set apart as the new 1st counselor in the bishopric. The calling was extended to us last weekend, so we've had a week to ponder and absorb the reality of this. But I have to say that it truly is a humbling experience. Whoever thinks that this makes you feel more righteous or to assume that we are more righteous...is insane. It has the complete opposite effect. I am 100% sure that we (or at least me) are not qualified. I know that the Lord will have to make up for our weaknesses. But I am grateful to the Lord that he has called upon us at this time.
I am always overwhelmingly surprised to have been so blessed to have married such an amazingly righteous man. I know all or at least many of his weaknesses, but I know even better all his strengths. I know that the Lord has called one incredibly generous, spiritual, and insightful man to do his work in this ward. I am honored to be his wife, and privileged to take this on with him, as a team. I recognize that in many ways this calling might seem to take away from us being a "team." But I know that this calling presents us with the chance to become an even stronger, more effective husband and wife team. I love my husband and am proud when he is called by the Lord to do anything. He is an amazing father and companion. Without his friendship my life would be...who wants to describe that? I am just so grateful for his righteousness and love.
It is my prayer that the Lord will bless us to be effective in our callings, those within the ward, those within our family, and anything that the Lord sees fit to ask us to do. I pray that we will be ready. I leave these thoughts along with my testimony that I know this work is truly the work of God the Eternal Father, and His Son Jesus Christ. In the name of my Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
