To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Spiritual Preparedness is a message the leaders of our church have been teaching us for a very long time; and that would include Bible and Book of Mormon leaders. We listen well enough, but sometimes that’s as far as it goes. We don’t internalize the gospel until it means something to us. While preparing a […]
Is anyone worried about the economy? Have you felt a pinch yet? How prepared are you for what’s to come? We’ve been told for years what to do to prepare. We’ve done a little here and there, but now is the time to really look at what we’ve learned. There are several websites and blogs […]
Promiscuity is an epidemic. Virtue is its opposite. The attitude of this “value” is horribly skewed in the world. We focus on the youth as a place to start preaching and teaching, when in reality this is a problem where every age is affected. Unwed births are surging among women ages 25-29 according to some […]
Are there any good manners left in our society? What happened to Thank You notes, RSVPs, sincere apologies? Is the customer ever right, anymore? Is graciousness old fashioned? Do our young people know how to conduct themselves in a formal situation? Emmeline B. Wells wrote an article in the Women’s Exponent lamenting this very topic […]
Have you ever heard of, or even thought about, the various names of our auxiliaries? What we recognize now as the Relief Society, Young Women’s, and Primary were all the brain-child (of course inspired by our Heavenly Father) of sisters in the Relief Society. Once the idea blossomed, it was organized under the enormous hat […]
Why is it that those who serve in the Primary or Young Women’s, upon release, say they have to get used to Relief Society? It’s because Relief Society has become a SUNDAY ONLY organization. Why do Stay-At-Home moms feel like they don’t achieve much? Because the Relief Society may not be functioning properly in fulfilling […]
Is it possible to have just one favorite scripture? And don’t you have different favorites as you have various experiences during life’s journey? And what about when someone shares their favorite, and it hits you like a ton of bricks, and instantly becomes a favorite. It’s impossible to remember all of the scriptures that can […]
I hope everyone had the chance to hear the General Young Women’s Meeting. Even though we may be Relief Society age, it’s still important to be involved and aware of the Young Women and the things they are going through, and struggling with. By going on to www.lds.org you can see the video presentation of […]
Emily Hill Mills Woodmansee is the author of our beloved hymn, “As Sisters in Zion” (#309). In her autobiography, she uses the words from a poet, saying, “I never knew what trouble was, till I became a Mormon.” She was the youngest of eleven children, born in England in 1836, to good parents who would […]
Brigham Young asked Emmeline Wells to organize a wheat storage program. Apparently, it wasn’t easy to get the women out to glean the fields. The women were heard to say, “I will rather give a bushel of wheat than go out to glean.” It was such a problem that women, who refused to do their […]
