To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I find that the Presidents of the Church lessons are difficult to teach. For example, this lesson is on Joseph Smith. We have had many lessons on this wonderful prophet. This lesson simply tells us what Pres. Benson thought and preached of him. I predict teachers will simply go through the motion of reading through […]
I hope every woman who reads and studies this lesson takes the time to personally go through the scriptures that teach us about Jesus Christ. Please read the actual words that talk of Christ, rejoice in Christ, preach of Christ, and prophesy of Christ (2 Ne 25:26) that wait for you in the Book of […]
Every prophet ever called by God has preached repentance boldly. It is for our sakes they do this. The fact of the matter is that our prophets understand the doctrine of repentance and are desperate for our happiness and welfare. We have been commanded to change for the better, and repentance is the only way […]
Living “joyfully” is a relative thing, don’t you think? And maybe its definition is unique to every person. Yet, I believe a person will find joy when they truly find Jesus Christ and accept His atoning gift. Benson: “The worst destruction I have witnessed was seen today … half-starved women, old men … digging at […]
Heavenly Father’s gift of agency, freedom of choice, is an eternal principle. It is what the war in heaven was all about. Occasionally, I find myself wishing my children didn’t have as much agency as we have all been blessed with. Benson: Agency is “the ability to make important decisions that will have bearing […]
Prayer is our greatest tool to form a relationship, and discover the will of our Heavenly Father, but I’m not sure we use it as the tool that it can be. At least, I know I don’t. Too many times I find myself asking for things over and over again, or worse, repeating mindlessly the […]
This year, there are three things I hope to focus on as I study each of the lessons based on President Ezra Taft Benson’s talks: What is the doctrine being taught? What does the prophet mean for us to obey? How do we live these teachings as women, wives, and mothers in the gospel? […]
Many years ago, our young family took a vacation to Disneyland in the fall. The weather was perfect, if not a little warm, and we basked in the golden sunset. But once the sun went down …. Wow! Did it get cold as we stayed to watch the big fireworks show. We were caught unprepared! I […]
Last year I wrote a post for most of the George Albert Smith lessons. I enjoyed looking over the lesson, arranging my own thoughts, feeling the Spirit witness to me, and being prepared each Sunday lesson. But, I noticed every Saturday night I would get a huge number of visits to that particular lesson as […]
The Word of Wisdom is one of the signatures of our religion. We certainly know what NOT to partake of, but sometimes we forget the promises of such vital wisdom for our lives. Pres. Smith has spoken boldly and clearly. The Doctrine and Covenants is also straightforward. Sometimes no other words will do but to […]
