Inspirational Women

What makes a woman become "inspirational?" What is it about her actions that makes us want to be more like her?

President Kimball once said, "Remember, the world before we came here faithful women were given certain assignments while faithful men were foreordained to certain priesthood tasks. . . . You are accountable for those things which long ago were expected of you."
Sister Marjorie Hinckley said, "Let us not waste our time saying with bitterness, 'Is this what I was born to do?' Let us rather ask ourselves the question that was asked of Esther: 'Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?'

We have so many inspirational women right in our very own ward. I know that if we focus on what we can do to be an inspiration to others that we will find more joy and edification in our own lives.

Let us all strive to become an inspiration to all whom we come in contact with.
