To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Just think, Relief Society class will be held only two times each month. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? Hopefully, you have read enough on my website to see that this isn’t a good or bad thing, but in order to obey our prophet and help him gather Israel, Relief Society leaders […]
I occasionally read through the Female Relief Society of Nauvoo Minute Book (I’m weird like that). It’s pretty inspiring what Joseph Smith is telling the women, but I’ve realized something. Back in the 19th century, women had nothing going for them. They had no rights, no voice, no way to be educated, no independent income, […]
We all know that Disneyland is the “Happiest Place on Earth.” This is their purpose. The way they got there can actually help Relief Society reach its own potential. This is what Relief Society can learn from Disney. Disney teaches every employee about their purpose and their mission. They do it by being intentional and […]
President Nelson has asked us to re-energize Relief Society by understanding our purpose. We have a destiny, sisters, and he is calling on us to position ourselves, so we can become a vital part in preparing the world to receive its king, even Jesus Christ. Feeling a Part of Relief Society If you don’t feel […]
When I first set out to discover Relief Society, nothing was online. I remember the first time I walked into the Church History Library (which, at that time, was in the corner of the main floor of the Church Office Building), I didn’t know what I was going to find. I didn’t know what to […]
This is Part 3, where Leah Widtsoe concludes her article on the powerful destiny of our Relief Society. Click to read Part 1 and Part 2. There are two great truths with vast implications that all should understand: 1) all great causes have small beginnings; 2) a chain is no stronger than its weakest link. […]
This is Part 2 of Our Powerful Destiny from a Voice from 1946. You can find Part 1 here. This post continues with an article written by Leah Widtsoe, for The Relief Society Magazine, back in 1946. When I read it, I was amazed how she nailed so many things. She writes frankly, and her […]
Leah D. Widtsoe was the wife of John A. Widtsoe, an apostle and well-known scriptorian. It may be of interest to you to know that Leah was, in her day, a housewife-turned-scriptorian. And much of what Elder Widtsoe talked and wrote about came from Leah’s insights. Leah wrote several articles for The Relief Society Magazine. I would […]
I’m a little slow, but I finally sat down and listened to some of the BYU Women’s Conference talks. They are now available on BYUtv. I enjoyed listening to the new Young Women Presidency. They were fun and told us a little about themselves. After reflecting a minute, and going over my notes, I correlated […]
I admit it! I’m a fan of Project Runway. Many of the designers have such talent and knowledge in their field. The unconventional challenge allows them to take basic rules and stretch their creativity to the very heights. I feel the new Relief Society/Priesthood guidelines offer us the solid basics yet allow us to use […]
