In June I decorated a notebook and called it "Quotes to Live By." Since then, I've only written seven or eight quotes in it. Tonight I included this quote - a quote that I tried to live by in my youth and I quote I will always treasure.
"Yes, give me a young woman who loves home and family, who reads and ponders the scriptures daily, who has a burning testimony of the Book of Mormon. Give me a young woman who faithfully attends her church meetings, who is a seminary graduate, who has earned her Young Womanhood Recognition Award and wears it with pride! Give me a young woman who is virtuous and who has maintained her personal purity, who will not settle for less than a temple marriage, and I will give you a young woman who will perform miracles for the Lord now and throughout eternity."
(President Ezra Taft Benson, November 1986, To the Young Women of the Church.)
I love this talk by President Benson!
Oh how cool - I can't tell you how many journals this is written into from my high school days. Love it!
