General Women's Session

Sharon L. Eubank 

• The friendships that we build with those of other faiths will be a significant force. 
• 1. Be Righteous. 2. Be Articulate 3. Be Different 4. Be Distinct 5. Do 1-4 In Happy Ways
• Being Righteous doesn't mean being perfect and never making mistakes. 
• Jesus was radical in his time because he equalized the world. 
• True Christians should strive to be the most loving in the world. 
• Use your voice and your power to articulate what you know and what you feel.
• Innovation and creation are spiritual gifts. 
• Being different in positive ways can be an influence to many others around us.
• We need to practice living the gospel before the emergency so we can help others when they're being swept away.
• When we build and lift others, it blesses our lives in ways our trials can't take away.
• You don't build out of pessimism and cynicism you look with optimism and work with faith and things happen.
• There is an energy that comes from happiness and optimism that can light up others and brighten their day.
• Put yourself in a place where you can feel the generous love that God has for you. Don't put yourself beyond the reach of that love.
• Will your happiness, despite your trials, draw others to you that need to rely on your happiness and your friendship?
• This is your day. This is your time.

Neill F. Marriott

• Our challenges can pull us off the path of happiness if trials pulls us to distraction instead of to our knees.
• Some things matter, some things don't, a few things last, but most things won't.
• What is mattering to you? What is lasting to you? 
• It is now, with our mortal limitations, that Heavenly Father asks us to Love when Loving is most difficult.
• Our sins and pride create a gap that make it difficult to feel love for others. 
• Sacrifice of our personal agendas is required to make room for the eternal plan of God.
• We are divinely designed to give love and be loved. And the deepest love comes when we are one with God.
• The Savior's love is a conduit for a constant flow of charity to others.
• Can we act to become Prepares of the Breach in our interactions with others?
• Make the connection now. To learn what really matters. To love and be loved.

Joy D. Jones

• Don't ever think you are nothing. You don't have to prove yourself to anyone. Have confidence in yourself.
• Why you? Why not me?
• You are unique, one of a kind, made of the eternal intelligence which gives you claim upon eternal life. Let there no be question in your mind on your value as an individual. 
• If we are sin we are less worthy but we are NEVER worthless.
• No matter what, we always have worth in the eyes of our Heavenly Father.
• Thinking small of ourselves does not serve us well, it just holds us back.
• No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
• Comparison is the thief of joy.
• If we choose to focus on the negative instead of clinging to the Savior, it becomes more difficult to feel the impressions of the Holy Ghost.
• Lets not be confused about who we are.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf 

• Don't allow the comments and opinions of others to bother you too much if they aren't positive.
• Don't let others opinions stop you from doing what you love.
• Do you see yourself as a victim, someone to be acted upon? Or are you one to take control and responsibility of your own life?
• Why should you surrender your happiness to someone who cares very little about you or your happiness?
• If you find yourself worrying about what other people say about you, please Remember who you are. You are of Child Of God.
• You have the spiritual DNA of God.
• We're each going to think that we're the one in the right. But until you can see each side's point of view, no one is going to find a solution.
• Once you degrade a group of people, you're more likely to justify actions against them.
• Just because someone disagrees with us doesn't mean that there is something wrong with them. 
• When we raise our voices for a cause, do so with love and understanding in our hearts.
• Fight to maintain your faith and hope despite the cynicism around you.
• Never forget! You are a Child of God.
• In the end. You have the power to choose both your destination and many of your experiences along the way. It's not so much your abilities but the choices that make the difference in your life. You cannot allow circumstances to make you sad or mad. You can instead choose to be glad. 
• Fill your hearts with gratitude. 
• Choose to lift up your voice and make your life a symphony of praise. 

Until you next read these words;

I'll be watching the leaves.

Enjoy the day!
