To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
We’ve been reminded often, by the Brethren, the importance of being grateful every day. Well, here it is—November—so it’s time to start thinking about it, right? I know, it’s just not easy to think of blessings when so many things are going on in our lives, both good and bad, but always overwhelming. I don’t […]
“There is one holiday, or more properly holy day, generally observed among Christians, the date of which is still set somewhat after the old Jewish reckoning. That is Easter, which comes near the time of the Feast of the Passover, being the Sabbath directly following the first full moon after the vernal equinox, which marks […]
As we celebrate, with rich abundance, Christmas and Jesus Christ’s birth, sometimes we forget an additional aspect of the holiday season: the birthday of the father of our own dispensation, The Prophet, Joseph Smith. Born on December 23rd, 1805, Joseph Smith was born under “forgettable circumstances,” according to his mother. He grew up pretty ordinary […]
From Salt Lake City: “This is a compilation of many years of doing the “12 Days” for neighbors & friends. Often, I would go to The Dollar Store, buy things, and then come home and make up the verses to go with what I bought. Merry Christmas to everyone and Enjoy!! Silly 12 Days Ideas […]
I ran across a talk given by Ardeth G. Kapp and thought it was appropriate for this time of year. We can take the entire holiday season to ponder this not-terribly-new idea, then decide what the new year will bring. It takes six weeks to form a habit, right? First, she explains how the pioneers […]
I found my list of 101 grateful things for 2008 and decided it was time to get started with my 2009 list. Last time it took two sides of one page, two columns each, squeezing, minimizing, and making it fit. This time I’m going to use as many pages as I need to explain why […]
It may be a little early to think about Christmas, but… No one has as many grandchildren as Mormons. Grandchildren are precious and wonderful, but can be expensive when it comes to the holidays. When it comes to Christmas, we want to smother the little darlings with expensive love. Here are a few ideas you […]
It’s never too early to think of Christmas. Am I the only one who thinks that way? Granted, I am not one of those who has the shopping all done and wrapped before Thanksgiving. I’m usually still scrambling around at the last minute still looking for that “perfect gift”, which is hopefully on sale. This […]
I love finding these gems in the Woman’s Exponent. The language is just a little more formal, but the subject still rings true. In our day and age, we have to dig deep to find the true meaning of Christmas and what we are really celebrating. And when we do find the true meaning, we […]
I was lucky to sit in at a luncheon where Elder Bednar spoke the other day. He instructed us to pull out some paper and a pen, and with our notes teach our families about the true meaning of Christmas. Tree He first points out a regular Christmas tree. When you gaze upon your Christmas […]
