Thank you!
greater than the other,and the empty promises of the
world are just that, empty. There is nothing as
beautiful as a rightous,and intelligent lady. I would that more could see these simple truths.
Im LDS and I have pretty much always walked to the beat of my own drum, which yes may have been a little different from others in my religion, but I know from my heart and mind what influences are pure and those that kill the soul.
I don't need a man OR another woman telling me what to think.
So many of these decisions are personal decisions and have little or no relation to a person having a relationship with God.
Women should make their own decisions about how they want to spend their time and money. The focus should be on helping women develop a relationship with God and then they can make their decisions with this personal relationship in mind. It seems like she is too focused on trying to make everyone fit a certain mold. This just does not work for everyone. Those who naturally fit the mold love it but everyone else is alienated. Many good people are just not interested in trying to fit this mold they have created.
I value education more than recognition. I value my children more than money. I value my relationship with my husband more than I value self-indulgence.
This is about recognizing what is of the greatest value and giving that the greatest priority.
All those who think what she was saying is mind control need to get a life. You ahve no idea what a wonderful, powerful woman is....
God bless all of the mothers and fathers out there who know this to be your greatest role and contribution in this life. My greatest role models are my parents with titles such as baseball coach, barber, chef, artist, and many many more. My parents balanced skills aplenty and being their child, it mostly mattered with how it related to family life at home. They weren't perfect in anything but everything they aspired to blessed me. I love them for it and wish everyone could have such joy and fulfillment in life, including myself, still single and looking for the right woman who fits the not so common mold.
Read the article, again. Better yet, look up the talks from Women's Conference. Women are invited to reach their divine potential, is a mold
Makes you wonder who is influencing their lives.
How can anyone discredit the instruction to cultivate oneself, but efficiently so, while serving others, to love and be loved, and to be true to your unique qualities as women instead of seeking to be men. What other pursuit is more important than a successful mother in raising the next generation? Hope you all have a happy mother's day.
Naysayers haven't given one specific example of anything in the article that was bad advice for women, nor have you given any better vision. Your claims have been as empty as the worldly mold you advocate.
That people are finally getting together
I thinks it's so wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
And you may find a friend
I knew a man that I did not care for
And then one day this man gave me a call
We sat and talked about things on our mind
And now this man he is a friend of mine
Don't be afraid of love
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid to love
Everybody needs a little love
Everybody needs somebody
That they can be thinking of
I love that song.
Now lets talk about mind control...boy that Satan sure has control of some peoples mind, doesn't he.
Inspirational talks are good for the human spirit. I'm thankful for good insight and the wisdom of others. No one can make it here alone. And, no one controls my actions.
