Thursday Thought

A little late- but I still wanted to sneak a thought in for this week. This one is an oldie, but a goodie. I just love Sheri Dew. What an amazing woman. Her book, God Wants a Powerful People is one of my favorites. I love the way she encourages, uplifts, and inspires. Here's a quote from a conference talk from long ago that I really like:

"...no woman is more persuasive, no woman has greater influence for good, no woman is a more vibrant instrument in the hands of the Lord than a woman of God who is thrilled to be who she is. I like to think of us as the Lord’s secret weapon."

I love the part "thrilled to be who she is". How often can we say that about ourselves? It's hard to get to that point, but when we feel that way, it's amazing how much we can accomplish.

Sheri L. Dew, “Stand Tall and Stand Together,” Ensign, Nov 2000, 94–96

I just love that! I can't say that i'm always thrilled to be me, but more often than not! Thanks for your inspirational thoughts... I've always enjoyed the fact that you are willing to share that part of yourself. We love you so very much! Hope all is well. xoxoxo
