To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The Book of Mormon is full of examples of faithful women, who stood strong in spite of opposing voices around them. Can you imagine Sariah’s fear when men sought her husband’s life? And how he told her that they needed to leave all of their luxuries behind and travel to the sea, cross the sea […]
I am grateful to a church that would inspire its women to be…Great, Educated, Strong, and Powerful. Some women might argue this point, but there have been too many General Conference addresses of the Brethren praising and glorifying us, for me to feel oppressed and constrained. Our church history is rich with inspired, educated, powerful, […]
What makes us holy women? We follow the Lord and His commandments that lead toward salvation. Holy women DO NOT follow the world, Satan, and his minions. It is a choice each member of the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ has to make. I wish I’d been alive to hear Eliza R. […]
I recently watched an old videotaping of the Phil Donahue Show with three women who brazenly forfeited their membership in the LDS Church because they were feminists and didn’t like the church’s stand (this was back in 1993). Briefly, I’ll quickly give you the lineup of these women, but it’s the fourth woman I would […]
Joseph Smith taught the women, in those early meetings in Nauvoo, much about the principle of charity. As this is a woman’s sacred calling, we carry the “mantle of charity”. Where have we heard a similar phrase? The men carry the “mantle of the priesthood”. Likewise, we women carry this co-partner. Is that something to […]
This is a comment I received that offers some interesting food to digest. What do you think? “From Sis. Beck’s “Mothers Who Know” 2007 talk: “Mothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their […]
My dishwasher is broken and I am terribly put out by it. How sobering to discover how dependent I have become. I’ve been doing dishes by hand and it is drudgery, plain and simple. So, while mindlessly gazing through the window that sits above the sink, my thoughts trample aimlessly and recall a once beloved […]
This is such a great idea. Thanks for sending this in!! “A few weeks ago my third daughter turned 10, and I began preparing for our Mother/Daughter Birthday Date, which has become a “Coming of Age” tradition in our home. This tradition began when my first daughter turned 10. She was in 4th grade, and […]
There is nothing like being bombarded, from all angles, with a message. The first thing was a reminder that this month’s Visiting Teaching message should come out of the Conference Addresses. That is always difficult for me to do; I sometimes pick several and combine their message, or pick a different one for each sister, […]
If you were to look up the word Suffrage in the dictionary, you would see that the word means “the right to vote.” A Suffragist was one who desired to achieve this privilege, and a Suffragette was a negative label put upon those who took things a step further and wanted equal rights. Mormon women, […]
