To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Do you remember the movie While You Were Sleeping? (Great movie!) It’s about a girl without a family, who adopts a family during the holidays, and ends up falling in love with one of the sons (the poor one, not the rich one). There is a scene where she is with the family while they […]
We live in a culture where we don’t have to go far to be entertained. Noise is everywhere. Everyone is busy. We are always going, going, going; off to our next bit of entertainment. We don’t have time to sit quietly. And if we did, we would be bored silly. Our minds have adapted well […]
We are well aware that the principle of marriage is under attack. Infidelity, money problems, and just giving up too fast are the typical reasons for divorce. Let us beware, and not fall under Satan’s spell of unhappiness. Following are quotes from our prophets and apostles about the importance of maintaining a strong marriage bond. […]
We all know how difficult it is to get sisters out to activities…or meetings. People are as busy as they want to be, and it doesn’t matter what century you live in. I have read many Relief Society reports, from early on, that mention the lack of a solid attendance, so the problem has been […]
While happily ensconced in my reading of the Women’s Exponent, I happened upon this short little disturbing tidbit in an 1873 issue: “Pres. Grant refused to loan the Reserve Fund of $44 million to the Wall Street Bankers, because it would be illegal. His view of the matter is a praiseworthy one.” ( Nov 1873, […]
Relief Society has been going on for 150+ years, and it (we) have accomplished great things. We have always had great women among us. Okay, let’s clarify that, all of us have value and the capability to do great things. I do believe some of us need more help than others to draw that realization […]
Elder Robert D. Hales and Sis. Elaine S. Dalton, mentioned the story of Lehonti, during our recent General Conference (Oct. 2008). Poor Lehonti. He was an example of how foolish action can jeopardize us, even unto death. (Alma 47) This is such a great story to use as an example of how Satan works; little […]
If you have been thinking and planning your family gifts for Christmas and have that all under control, then you are free to spend the month bringing Christmas to strangers and enjoy the spirit of the holiday. So often we get bogged down with “busy” and we end up missing the entire season. You know […]
We are all getting interested in living on less these days. That is if we haven’t already been living this way. And I’m sure we have always done a certain amount of modest living, in certain areas. Other areas we’ve maybe been a little more extravagant. Our generation, in general, has not had to count […]
We are a temple going people. With so many temples being made available to us, we, as sisters, can carry on a great work, the work of salvation. Aren’t we continually surprised to know there is a temple in a certain location? It’s hard to keep up with all of them (128+). And in case […]
