Nurturing requires organization, patience, love, and work. Helping growth occur through nurturing is truly a powerful and influential role bestowed on women

When our priorities are out of order, we lose power. It takes personal revelation every day to help us prioritize and keep at bay the influences of the world that would draw us from what we are to do.

I hope our granddaughters and grandsons grow up knowing that they are not and have never been third-party observers of the priesthood. The blessings of the priesthood, which 'are available to men and women alike', are woven in and through and around their lives. Each of them is blessed by sacred ordinances, and each of them can enjoy the blessings of spiritual gifts by virtue of the priesthood.

Righteous women have changed the course of history and will continue to do so, and their influence will spread and grow exponentially throughout the eternities.

When mothers know who they are and who God is and have made covenants with Him, they will have great power and influence for good on their children.

Because personal revelation is a constantly renewable source of strength, it is possible to feel bathed in help even during turbulent times.

There is eternal influence and power in motherhood.
