President Uchtdorf starts out the lesson giving tribute to the women in his life. His grandmother, his mother and his wife. He also thanked the sister that invited his grandmother to church for the very first time.
He then helps us remember who we are. Daughters of God.
Here are a few quotes from his talk
It is important to remember that being a daughter of eternal parents is not a distinction you earned or you will ever lose. You will always and forever remain a daughter of God.
GOD KNOWS SOMETHING WE DON'T
He not only knows what is best for you; He also anxiously wants you to choose what is best for you!!LOVE THIS ONE!!!
We need to accept that the commandments of God aren't just a long list of good ideas. They aren't life hacks from an Internet blog or motivational quotes from a Pinterest board. They are divine counsel, based on eternal truths, given to bring peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come.
LOVE THE PINTEREST THING!!
THE WHY OF OBEDIENCE
Those who see attendance at Church meetings as a personal way to increase their love of God, find peace, uplift others, seek the Spirit, and renew their commitment to follow Jesus Christ will find a far richer experience than those who simply put in their time sitting in a pew. Sisters, it's important that we attend our Sunday meetings.
LIVING THE GOSPEL JOYFUL
Remember---YOU ARE LOVED. God is not waiting to love you until you have overcome your weaknesses and bad habits. He loves you today with a full understanding of your struggles. He is aware that you reach up to Him in heartfelt and hopeful prayer. He knows of the times you have held onto the fading light and believed even in the midst of growing darkness. He knows of your suffering. He knows of your remorse for the times you have fallen short of failed. And still He loves you. WOW!!! Ladies...please read this article. You will not be sorry you did. Thanks Carol!!! Your lesson was so greatly appreciated!!!
