My Girls

I received the following LDS-gem yesterday and wanted to write a quick post because the content absolutely, one hundred percent describes my girls—Katie and Colette. Here’s the quote:

"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." (Margaret D. Nadauld, "The Joy of Womanhood," Ensign, Nov. 2000, 14)

Both Katie and Colette are Women of God, not women of the world. That is one of the reasons we love them and why so many are drawn to them. They are tender, kind, refined, faithful, filled with goodness, virtue and purity—exactly the kind of women Sis. Nadauld says our world needs more of.

Thank you, Katie and Colette, for your example to not only us “old folks” but to your peers. You rock! And I love you both. Mom Riley
