Dear Sisters,
Mother’s day is this month and I’m so thankful for a special day
set aside to celebrate my mother and the wonderful person she is, and reflect
on the things that she has taught me.
Like my mother, there are many women in the scriptures that I
can come to know and by their example become a better person. Rebekah is
one of these women. She was a woman of faith, a follower of Christ, a
giver of service, hard worker and obedient. She helped ensure that the
Lord’s prophesy came to pass by taking action, even though the circumstances
were difficult. She was a woman of strength, one who was willing to say “I Will
Go” and follow the will of the Lord.
It is my hope that we will strive to be women who “Will Go”,
trust in the Lord, place him at the forefront and fulfill our responsibilities
as daughters of God; women entrusted during our mortal lives with sweet spirits
in whom we teach gospel truths, whether they are biological children, adopted
children, students, nieces and nephews or simply friends.
We are on the Lords’ errand.
Much love,
Shelly Ward
