"I think it truly remarkable that the world still remembers that little baby
boy born in Bethlehem so long ago. He lived a life that we still try to follow.
He showed us the way. He taught truths we still try to live. He willingly
suffered for our sins because He loved us so completely. He gave us the right to
repent. And He gave His life that we might be resurrected and live again after
death." - Margaret D. Nadauld, "Stand
as a Witness," Ensign (CR), May 2000, p.93

"Daughters of God know that it is the nurturing nature of
women that can bring everlasting blessings, and they live to cultivate this
divine attribute. Surely when a woman reverences motherhood, her children will
arise up and call her blessed (see
Prov. 31:28).
"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women
who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are
coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need
women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more
women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough
vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." -

Joy of Womanhood," Ensign (CR), November 2000, p.14

"Standing as a witness in all things means all things—big things,
little things, in all conversations, in jokes, in games played and books read
and music listened to, in causes supported, in service rendered, in clothes
worn, in friends made." - Margaret D. Nadauld, "Stand
as a Witness," Ensign (CR), May 2000, p.93

"Do you remember the song which begins, 'I think when I read that sweet story of
old, when Jesus was here among men, how he called little children like lambs to
his fold; I should like to have been with him then'? ('I
Think When I Read That Sweet Story,' Children's Songbook, 56). Try to
imagine what it would have been like to have Jesus place His hands on your head
and bless you as the scriptures say He did when He was on earth.
"Think of being able to actually be near the Savior. Imagine being loved and
healed and blessed and guided by Him as they were then. When He was on the earth
the members of His Church loved Him, they depended on Him, and they followed
Him. You can imagine how saddened they were at the prospect of Him leaving them,
but He promised: 'I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another
Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever. ...The Comforter... is the Holy
Ghost' (John 14:16, 26).
He then gave them the priceless gift of the Comforter to be their companion
after He was gone.
"You too are loved by the Lord, just as were the disciples of old. You are loved
more than you will ever know. He wants you to be successful in your life's
mission! You don't have to face the experiences of this life alone, nor have you
been sent here to fail.
"For this reason a holy gift was given to you at the time of your baptism and
confirmation, when hands were placed on your head and you were told, 'Receive
the Holy Ghost.' It is almost as if your Father in Heaven gave you a gift to
celebrate your official entrance into His kingdom on earth. The Holy Spirit can
be with you always and guide you back to Him, but in order to enjoy the benefits
of this holy gift, you must truly receive it, and then you must use it in your
life. How sad it would be to be given such a precious gift and then set it aside
and never use it. I would like to talk to you about just three of the things the
Holy Ghost can do. He can comfort, guide, and testify." - Margaret D. Nadauld, "A
Comforter, a Guide, a Testifier," Ensign (CR), May 2001, p.90

"Your
Heavenly Father will help you find the right path as you seek His guidance.
Remember though, after you pray you must get off your knees and start doing
something positive; head in the right direction! He will send people along the
way who will assist you, but you must be doing your part as well. By the gift
and power of the Holy Ghost, you can be guided in your trip through life."
