Be a woman of Christ. Cherish your esteemed place in the sight of God. He needs you. This church needs you. The world needs you. A woman's abiding trust in God and unfailing devotion to things of the Spirit have always been an anchor when the wind and the waves of life were fiercest.

Stay in the race. Keep running. Keep walking. Keep praying. The Lord will renew your strength.
Jeffrey R. Holland
He has, He reminds us, graven thee upon the palms of my hands (1 Nephi 21:16). Considering the incomprehensible cost of the Crucifixion, Christ is not going to turn His back on us now.
Jeffrey R. Holland
The work of a mother is hard, too often unheralded work. Please know that it is worth it then, now, and forever.
Jeffrey R. Holland
When life is hard, remember - we are not the first to ask, 'Is there no other way?
Jeffrey R. Holland
Teach your children that many of the blessings of the Church are available to them because you and they give tithes and offerings to the Church. Teach them that those blessings could come virtually no other way.
Jeffrey R. Holland
However many chances you think you have missed, however many mistakes you feel you have made, ... you have not traveled beyond the reach of divine love.
