JBB wishes women remembered heavenly parents and "potential for eternal motherhood."
Julie B. Beck, "A 'Mother Heart," General Conference Address, April 4, 2004, accessed May 26, 2021
Oh, that every girl and woman would have a testimony of her potential for eternal motherhood as she keeps her earthly covenants. “Each is a beloved . . . daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine . . . destiny” As spirit daughters of God, women “received their first lessons in the world of spirits” and . . . were among the “noble and great ones” (D&C 138:55) who “shouted for joy” (Job 38:7) at the creation of the earth because they . . . wished to work side by side with righteous men to accomplish eternal goals that neither can attain independently . . . Female roles did not begin on earth, and they do not end here.
