To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The scriptures are actually full of references to temple clothing, but most of these references are hidden because of the sacred nature and covenants of the temple. If we put on our “temple eyes” when we read the scriptures, we can see the type, shadow and clues the Lord has put into the verses of […]
Have you ever really looked at the problem the Israelites had in the Old Testament? They just didn’t FEEL like reaching for Jesus Christ…most of the time. Remember all the opportunities the Lord gave them? Remember how many times they were given still another chance? Another lecture? Another pleading? They were pretty stubborn people. My […]
Funny article found in the Women’s Exponent. Do you see yourself in these stories? HOW IT IS DONE Scene in library—gentleman busy writing—child enters: “Father, give me a penny.” “Haven’t got any—don’t bother me.” “But, father, I want it—something particular.” “I tell you I haven’t got one about me.” “I must have it! You promised […]
The most common Relief Society activity groups I’ve heard of are Book clubs, exercise groups, and Young Mom’s groups. Occasionally, after passing out an Interests Sheet, you might see a class on photography, scrapbooking, or museum trips. Enrichment nights are often dinner or maybe a humanitarian project. Again, if you are doing something more exciting than […]
The Relief Society program, which changed in the last few years, is still trying to find its way. I hear of women still trying to figure it out. So, if your Relief Society is running smoothly I seriously want to hear from you. It seems to me that when Pres. Hinckley wrote the book Standing […]
When the Female Relief Society was first organized, there were nineteen members, plus officers; by the following March there were 1158 members attending. They outgrew their meeting room and would meet in The Grove, where the spillage of sisters could still be included. The Society became so popular that even unseemly women wanted to join. […]
The war chapters, in Alma, are probably my favorite in all of scripture. I have written in at the top of these chapters, FOR THE STRENGTH OF YOUTH, because I feel this is where we get the best information on how to fight the adversary and save our children. Follow along in your own scriptures […]
I was privileged to be invited to a Temple Shower years ago that literally changed my outlook on Temple Preparation. The woman giving the shower felt girls should be rewarded for their worthiness, and it was an expression of her personal love and support as each young girl entered the doors of the temple. I asked […]
When summer comes around it’s hard to tell the difference between the Mormons and the non-Mormons. They dress alike. Our young women wear as little clothing as possible. Or else they dress pretty grungy to their church meetings. Our society is very casual, and in order to fit in we have relaxed our own standards. […]
Times have definitely changed. Back in the old days, three year old girls were learning how to embroider. Six year olds were crocheting and mending. Eight year olds were taking piano lessons and sewing. Ten year olds were cooking, gardening and tending for the family. We don’t do that kind of training anymore. I’ve noticed […]
