Points from my lesson in Relief Society

The following quotes are from Spencer W Kimball.....

1) Seek excellence in all your righteous endeavors, and in all aspects of your lives.

2) Remember, too, as we focus on the glories and importance of family life here, that all of us belong to the eternal family of our Father in Heaven.

3) Sometimes to be tested and proved requires that we be temporarily deprived-but righteous women and men will one day receive all-think of it, sisters—all that our Father has! It is not only worth waiting for; it is worth living for!

4) Meanwhile, one does not need to be married or a mother in order to keep the first and second great commandments—those of loving God and our fellowmen—on which Jesus said hang all the law and the prophets.

5) Again, you must be wise in the choices that you make, but we do not desire the women of the Church to be uninformed or ineffective. You will be better mothers and wives, both in this life and in eternity, if you sharpen the skills you have been given and use the talents with which God has blessed you.
