To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I don’t know about you, but listening to Conference addresses is a wonderful experience and blessing in my life. The words from our prophets are truly inspiring, thought provoking, and life changing, but only if we let them be. I can’t ever pick a favorite talk. When I get my Ensign, I read each of […]
In our busy lifestyles, especially during the holidays, we tend to be a little more impatient with the children, or hurry our precious time with them. Sometimes the hardest thing of all is to spend a simple meal together. I found this interesting little article and offer it as a gentle reminder. “Not with reproof […]
The number ten in Hebrew is very significant. Every Hebrew letter has a numerical equilivant. The Hebrew character or letter that equals ten is a Yud and looks like this: י, it is the smallest Hebrew letter. The symbolical meaning of the Yud is God’s Hand, meaning how God’s Hand works or interacts in our […]
Advent calendars used to be all the rage. They were forgotten for a while, but they are now making a comeback. Maybe this year, instead of focusing on getting the right number of gifts for family members, you might elect to focus on advent activities all month long.

I already wrote once about Pres. Uchtdorf’s talk given in the General Women’s Meeting, but I feel to address it a second time.

When the Relief Society was reorganized in Salt Lake City, women needed a place to meet. Since there were, at first, so few of them, it was easy to gather together in each other’s homes. As the Society grew though, it was clear larger quarters would be necessary. Chapels, at that time, did not have […]
In Hebrew the word for heart is pronounced, lev and would look like this: לב The Lamed, ל, symbolically represents a staff or rod of the shepherd. The rod is the word of God and in this case means the covenant between man and God. The Bet, ב, symbolically represents the blessing and/or the house […]
Do you remember the movie While You Were Sleeping? (Great movie!) It’s about a girl without a family, who adopts a family during the holidays, and ends up falling in love with one of the sons (the poor one, not the rich one). There is a scene where she is with the family while they […]
The Book of Helaman, in the Book of Mormon, is all about the human spirit waxing cold. Hardened hearts exposing one another, mankind breaking one another down, rampant domestic disputes. Kind of like our day. The Nephites, at this particular time, had a “heart condition.” When was the last time you had a check up […]
