To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Have you ever taken time to think about why we fast, as a church, on the first Sunday of every month? After reading Howard W. Hunter’s talk on “Fast Day,” in the Sunday afternoon session of the October 1985 General Conference, I began to think about it seriously. I hate to admit it, but I’ve […]
I love it when I run across a talk that casually mentions the greatness of women. In James E. Faust’s talk, in the October 1981 conference, he says, in the middle of talking about Joseph Smith, “The Church which he restored has had dramatic growth in many parts of the earth. It has produced an […]
The lesson this month is about charity; loving those who stray and never giving up on them. This is the very definition of visiting teaching. Sometimes, I’m not sure how to go about sharing a visiting teaching message. For example, this month. Are we expected to talk about loving those who stray, or actually loving […]
The talks given at the Women’s Session of General Conference spoke of strengthening our families in spite of what the world teaches and pressures us to believe. We have power as mothers, wives, sisters, women, and daughters of God. After this conference, combined with what will be stated in the General Sessions this weekend, I […]
Which one of us has had a stone lobbed at us, for no apparent good reason, and our feathers became ruffled? Or perhaps we have spoken out of turn only to regret it minutes later? How many “if only” moments have we experienced because we forgot to listen to the calming voice of the Holy […]
This Saturday I hope all Relief Society women are planning on tuning in to the General Women’s Meeting. It’s been 170 years since Joseph Smith called the sisters together. This will be the first time we hear from our new Relief Society General Presidency. We hope to catch their vision and be reenergized to do […]
I took this story out of the Church News, October 15, 2011: “Sister Beck shared an experience she and her husband, Ramon P. Beck, had of stopping by the home of a family where the mother had recently given birth to her third child, and the husband had broken his leg the day before in […]
I hope you all had the opportunity to listen to the General Women’s Meeting. As usual, it was uplifting and soul building. As I listened to the speakers, I hoped to find things that I personally should be working on. What are they telling ME that I should do? Sis. Beck spoke on the pattern […]
Joseph Smith taught the women, in those early meetings in Nauvoo, much about the principle of charity. As this is a woman’s sacred calling, we carry the “mantle of charity”. Where have we heard a similar phrase? The men carry the “mantle of the priesthood”. Likewise, we women carry this co-partner. Is that something to […]
I’m guessing that most of you are familiar with the movie “The Blind Side”. Great movie, great message. I was so intrigued with the Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy (Too-wee) family I decided to read their book “In a Heartbeat”, to find out what kind of people they really were. I learned that the story […]
