To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
The prophets foretold a long time ago that marriage would be under fire; that children would be in danger if left to their own devices; and that temptation would pull women out of their duty. We are seeing this more and more as the years get full to overflowing with technological shortcuts that make homemaking […]
I have often wondered why the Relief Society has changed our meeting system, suggesting our meetings be less frequent, less structured, and less demanding. For the past several years I have seen wards either have too many “fun” activities to keep an imaginary quota, or drop all activities, because they don’t know what they want […]
The World, Satan, and Life typically separates us and keeps us feeling alone and powerless. But Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ gather us together in their arms in love. As members of the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ, we are commanded to mourn with those who mourn, comfort those in need of […]
Emmeline B. Wells (5th RS President) did a lot of writing in her day. She had an opinion about everything, especially women; how she should be treated, what she could accomplish, and what she should do with her life. She wrote under many pseudonyms, including Amethyst, who is the author of this interesting article I […]
In our world there are no instructions on how to be married. Some couples have figured it all out; they’ve set aside their differences and worked out the true goal of life. Our Church gives bucket loads of helpful information to teach and train for a successful journey. It’s that important. Relief Societies can offer […]
It’s really hard to watch the news these days and hear once again that a family has been destroyed by selfishness and lack of self-control. All of our families are at risk. We need to help one another stay committed to our husbands and our children. The world cannot offer us enough to forsake them […]
As I have studied the history of Relief Society, I’ve come to a conclusion. Mormon women do not understand their true origin or destiny. I certainly didn’t until I began studying. I testify to you that women, who have made the covenant of Baptism, have been given the power of the Holy Ghost. This is […]
Everyone born on this earth has at least one talent. So many people will say “except me”, or “I was late standing in line that day” or some other self-deprecating comment. But that fact remains true: Everyone has at least one talent, and more than likely they have more. Why is it wards tend to […]
I haven’t ever talked about health before, but I am at the age where my body is giving out and I’m anxiously awaiting my “perfected” body. But it occurs to me, aren’t we commanded to take care of the body we have now? Boy, if that’s the case, I may be in trouble! Our world […]
It is impossible to write, even a small portion, of the trek across the prairie to the Rocky Mountains. But, at this time of year, I tend to read material reminding me of the great sacrifices and incredible stories that belong to our legacy. I do not have handcart pioneer ancestors, but there are still […]
