Something that has really impressed me lately, is how unique gender is to our identity. We truly are sent down here with different tasks and goals to accomplish in this life. Personality traits and characteristics are always fun to talk about with people, but I believe our true chore characteristics are divine. We are all children of God, and as such we all have a responsibility to represent Him in our lives on earth. As I have been thinking about what it will be like to be a mother Elder D. Todd Christofferson, a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles talk really impressed me. It is called, "The Moral Force of Women" and a particular passage caught my eye stating,
"Dear sisters, we rely on the moral force you bring to
the world, to marriage, to family, to the Church. We
rely on blessings you bring down from heaven by your
prayers and faith. We pray for your security, welfare, and
happiness and for your influence to be sustained."
Never underestimate the influence you can have on those around you! Our influence is important! Not to say that men do not have a good influence, more on that later, but as women we can be empowering without being manly. We are a force of good. We are His Daughters. I hope we can all live our lives to bring the blessings of heaven on those around us and righteously sustain and stand by, not behind or in front, but stand by our spouses in our worthy pursuits here on this earth.
