When I was attending Brigham Young University I learned what it truly
means to be a queen
I was given a unique opportunity
to meet the prophet
President David O. Mckay
as I went forward he held out his hand
and held mine
and as I told him about my life and my family he looked deeply into my eyes
After we had finished
he reached for his wifes hand and said
I would like to you to meet my queen
They're seated next to him was his wife Emma Ray Mckay
Although she did not wear a
crown of sparkling diamonds, nor was she's seated on a throne
I knew she was a true queen
her white hair was her crown
and her pure eyes sparkled like jewels
Her's was a beauty that cannot be purchased
It came from
years of seeking the best gifts
becoming well-educated
seeking knowledge by study
and also by faith
It came from years of
hard work, of faithfully enduring trials with optimism
trust, strength and courage
On that day in Huntsville, Utah I was reminded of my divine identity and I
learned about what I now call deep beauty
The kind of beauty that
shines from the
inside out
It is the kind of beauty
that cannot be painted on
surgically created
or purchased
It is the kind of beauty that doesn't wash off
when you are virtuous chased and moraly clean your inner beauty glows in your eyes and in your face
Deep beauty springs from virtue
It is spiritual attractiveness
Young women, look into the mirror of eternity, remember who you are
See yourself as our Heavenly Father sees you. You are elect. You are of noble birth
Don't compromise your divine inheritance
You were born to be a queen
