To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
As we’ve been reading about the Second Coming in our Sunday School lessons, and hearing about things in the news, I’ve been thinking about what it is we should all be doing to prepare for the Lord’s second coming. I have come to my own conclusion. There may be more to it, but this is […]
It seems that Relief Societies in the past had projects going on all the time. Building a community in the desert was not an easy task. As time progressed, the number of Relief Societies grew, projects became more localized, and methods adapted and improved. Today, we benefit from the mighty work of our sisterhood. There […]
In the Book of Mormon, at the Waters of Mormon where Alma the prophet baptizes those that he was teaching in the wilderness, Alma rehearses the covenant we all make with the Lord when we are baptized. Starting in Mosiah 18:8 we learn how we are willing to bear one another’s burdens that they may […]
Have you ever felt hurt by those you serve with, in your callings? Have misunderstandings stirred a resentful heart, culminating in an output of gossip and blackened reputation? This is a sad, but true example of the damage that is caused by petty female jealousies. We must be watchful and learn from this lesson. In 1882, the […]
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 […]
Over the years, Church history scholars have written papers, articles, and books about the great pioneers who have carved our latter-day legacy. I enjoy randomly coming upon recorded remembrances that have miraculously survived, been researched, and made available to us so we can continue along our own paths of enduring faith. It is sad, but […]
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, […]
We enjoyed reenacting the first Relief Society meetings where we got an idea what it was like for these women who were the first in this dispensation to be organized into a sisterhood. Joseph Smith told the sisters that an organization for women has always existed on the earth. We have much to be grateful […]
I love finding these articles that give you a snapshot of what it was like “way back when”. Enjoy this article from the Relief Society Magazine in Mar 1939. “According to one of our great modern thinkers, we Americans have experienced “seven adventures in pioneering”: first, for spiritual freedom—the right to worship God as conscience […]
What is our first thought as we approach Easter, this most holy day of holidays? As I contemplate this special time of year, I praise the Lord for my increased knowledge, through study and prayer, which He has given me for the building up of my testimony, and love, for the Savior of the World. […]
