Just as this paper has many colors, there are many hats of womanhood.
You can’t be everything to everyone all the time, But you can be something to someone some of the time. How do you choose?
President Gordon B. Hinckley: “The course of our lives is seldom determined by great, life-altering decision. Our direction is often set by the small, day-to-day choices that chart the track on which we run. This is the substance of our lives–making choices. (Stand a Little Taller, Jan 12)
“Time is really all we have. And every individual has an equal portion of it. The trick is to get more out of what is available to us.” (Stand a Little Taller, October 15)
How do you choose? You must live to be worthy of the Spirit!
[The following quotes regarding the Holy Ghost are found in the book, No Doubt About It, by Sheri Dew, p. 108-109]
Lorenzo Snow said that it is the “grand privilege of every Latter-day Saint…to have the manifestations of the spirit every day of our lives.” (in Conference Report, April 1899. 52).
His sister, Eliza, who was present at the founding of the Relief Society and served as its second general president, said this about the gift of the Holy Ghost: “Is it not our privilege to so live that we can have this constantly flowing into our souls?” (Women’s Exponent, 15 Sept. 1873, 63).
President Gordon B. Hinckley has said: “There is no greater blessing that can come into our lives than…the companionship of the Holy Spirit.” (Boston Massachusetts Regional Conference, 22 April 1995).
President Joseph F. Smith said that “it is the right and privilege of every man, every woman and every child who has reached the years of accountability, to enjoy the spirit of revelation, and to be possessed of the spirit of inspiration…It is the privilege of every individual member of the Church to have revelation for his own guidance, for the direction of his life and conduct.” (Gospel Doctrine, 34)
