Quote
The deacon’s role is first played in our lives by women. And continues to be played by women through our Church experience, with compassionate service, with ministering, with bringing the food to the ward dinner, with whatever it may be. This is a godly role and it changes how I see it when I think of the ways that God plays this role by feeding Adam and Eve, by feeding his children. In fact, in the last days, this mighty river that will flow out of the temple with priesthood power and heal the Dead Sea and heal the world, will be flanked by trees of life whose fruit will feed the world and whose leaves will heal the nations. Because I believe we are those trees that God is trying to teach us how to become, to take the seed of the gospel into our own lives, to become that tree that produces that fruit, that others will eat and plant the seed for themselves. That’s who God is. Someone who keeps giving away the seeds so that we can produce our own trees and give the seeds away to others.— Wendy Ulrich
