To The Ladies...

Right now I am reading Sheri Dew's book, No Doubt About It. This passage is a great reminder to me of the type of woman and mother I want to be. Hopefully you like it too.

"From the adversary's point of view, we are dangerous. Righteous women dedicated to the Lord and united in the cause of goodness threathen Satan's work. Of course he would target and attempt to deceive us, women who have a clear understanding of who we are. For we are not ordinary women.

"We know that we are beloved spirit daughters of heavenly parents, and that our lives have meaning, purpose, and direction, as the Relief Society Declaration asserts. We are women who seek to hear the voice of the Lord. We are women dedicated to strengthening our marriages, families, and homes; women whose covenants and influence span generations; women who are not easily deceived; women of faith, virtue, vision, and charity - not to mention integrity and purity. We are women who understand that to qualify for eternal life, we must deal with a full range of difficulty and disappointment here. We are free to choose how we live, where we spend our temporal, emotional, and spiritual resources, and to what and whom we devote ourselves."
