To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
So, what DO we have in common with the early sisters of the Relief Society? And what can we possibly learn from their examples? The early sisters settled in a land that was barren and harsh. There were no stores to buy what they needed. If their family had a need, they had to grow […]
Did you know you are going to have to sing a song when you get to the pearly gates, in order to get in? Don’t worry, though. The words are in the scriptures, in your testimony, in your life lived, and in your love of the Savior. You don’t even need to worry about whether […]
Who doesn’t love to hear a story? The more I interact with people the more I realize the value of Heavenly Father’s children, my friends, who ALL have stories to tell. When we think of Family History work, we might think the same boring thing: research a bunch of faceless names and dates. If you […]
In a world that steals dreams, and fosters shallow happiness, our General Young Women Leaders have offered us some safeguarding secrets that are worth having ears to hear. I know they spoke to the Young Women specifically, but these words are for all women. I feel a little weird going to this meeting, because I […]
I feel compelled to speak out to the Ordain Women group who are in the news. This is a time for Relief Society sisters to stand for something and unite our belief, faith, and witness. Many sisters have come up to me and argued that we should all be Mormon Feminists. And I have continued to attempt to […]
The Relief Society was discontinued for a period of nine months. The women finally gathered again on Jun 16th, 1843. Emma desired the meetings to continue, though she was not in attendance at this one. Councilor Whitney presided. The meeting opened with a discussion, or probably a testimony meeting of sorts, where everyone could express […]
Maybe some of you are better at your scripture reading than I am. All I can say is I am grateful for my Gospel Doctrine calling, because I take an entire week to study scripture, cruise the Internet, and gather other reading materials that will enlighten me enough to enrich other’s lives. If I’m not […]
At the risk of sounding like a nag (otherwise known as my job as a wife, mother, and woman), I revisit this daunting topic…Relief Society Meetings. Many of us are still struggling with what to do about these meetings. Sis. Beck, in her most recent talk on the subject, was pretty specific on what NOT […]
Barbara Woodhead Winder brought structural change to the Relief Society when she served as its President. The Relief Society was so busy reinventing itself, as well as defending itself throughout its existence; it was now time to align itself properly within the kingdom of God; at the side of the Priesthood in works, deeds, and […]
Aren’t we glad spring is here! The warm air, the flowers blooming, the longer days, the skimpy clothing. Oh…wait…that’s bad. Sadly, along with the glories of spring and summer, we have to deal with the half naked ladies walking the streets. This year, let’s make sure we, as well as our children, are not one […]
