There is no age barrier when it comes to Christlike service.

Everyone, no matter what their marital circumstance or number of children, can be defenders of the Lord’s plan described in the family proclamation. If it is the Lord’s plan, it should also be our plan!

Let us defend the home as a place which is second only to the temple in holiness.

We just need to relax and rejoice in our divine differences. We need to realize that we all desire to serve in the kingdom, using our unique talents and gifts in our own ways.

The fact of the matter is, we really and truly need each other. Women naturally seek friendship, support, and companionship. We have so much to learn from one another, and we often let self-imposed barriers keep us from enjoying associations which could be among the greatest blessings in our lives.

As you keep moving forward, you can stay upright even when outside forces try to pull you down.

Living the gospel and standing in holy places is not always easy, but I testify that it is worth it.
