"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,

"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." -

"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

"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."

We are each one on a
road going toward home, but we’re not trying to get there for
Christmas. We’re trying to get there for eternity. We want to arrive
home safely to our loving Father in Heaven. He wants us to make it
safely there, so He has sent a guiding light for us to follow: a
Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, the perfect example. He knows the way.
He lights our path in the dark of night, in storms, at crossroads, and
in the daylight. He is always ready to show the way back home. - Margaret

the Light," Ensign (CR) May 1999

The time is here for you to stand up for what you know is right. You
must judge right from wrong. No longer can you be complacent or go
with the flow or wonder what to do. You must decide now which path you
will follow and which answer you will give. Decide well in advance,
before the pressure is on, what you stand for. - Margaret D.

I bear testimony that as we accept the invitation to come unto Christ,
we will find that He can heal all wounds. He can lift our burdens and
carry them for us, and we can feel "encircled about eternally in the
arms of his love" (2
Ne. 1:15). - Margaret D.
Nadauld, “Come unto Christ,” Ensign (CR), May 1998, p.64
