"highest place of honor"

This one is for the women:

"I wonder if you sisters fully understand the greatness of your gifts and talents and how all of you can achieve the "highest place of honor" in the Church and in the world. One of your unique, precious, and sublime gifts is your femininity, with its natural grace, goodness, and divinity. Femininity is not just lipstick, stylish hairdos, and trendy clothes. It is the divine adornment of humanity. It finds expression in your qualities of your capacity to love, your spirituality, delicacy, radiance, sensitivity, creativity, charm, graciousness, gentleness, dignity, and quiet strength. It is manifest differently in each girl or woman, but each of you possesses it."
--James E. Faust

Mom says, Maybe no one else in the world knows my name, but I have five wonderful children who do, and my whole life is worthwhile because they all turned out to be exceptionally good people. Being a woman and a mother are the best things about life. It is so worth it!
