To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Living “joyfully” is a relative thing, don’t you think? And maybe its definition is unique to every person. Yet, I believe a person will find joy when they truly find Jesus Christ and accept His atoning gift. Benson: “The worst destruction I have witnessed was seen today … half-starved women, old men … digging at […]
Who doesn’t love the words in Isaiah that were put into incredibly vibrant music by Handel? Isaiah 7:14; 9:6; 35:5-10; 40:5,9; 53:3-6; and the grand Amens in Rev 5:12-13. You can’t help but want to sing along, it is all so glorious! The scriptures are full of song; praises to our King and Deliverer. By […]
Joseph Smith gathered the Mormon Women together telling them they had a great destiny to fulfill. The women were eager to gather together, help the poor, and enjoy temple blessings. When the Relief Society was first organized, there were nineteen members, plus officers. By the following March, there were 1158 members attending. They outgrew their […]
I would love to hear what your Relief Societies are doing in your additional activities. Living in different places, and being unique individuals, the creativity must be awesome everywhere we are. So, PLEASE share some of the great things you are doing. When our new activities program came out (in 2009), so many of us […]
Something that always keeps me going, and eager to start a new year, is the opportunity to set new goals…fun and exciting (for me) goals. It also helps that I actually completed the goals I set this past year, so I am raring to go for 2013. Waiting for things to happen in […]
It takes more than one person to save and be saved. We cannot do it alone; we need one another. Too many of us lead lives that are too busy to mingle with our fellow sisters. If it weren’t for our callings, we might never enjoy the rich spirit of our sisterhood. This year, as […]
The following vision was seen in 1884 and recorded in The Young Woman’s Journal in the April 1890 edition. Visions are very personal, but they usually have a definite message, which can help others who may hear and listen. This vision was related by a sister living in Logan, Cache County, Utah: I dreamed I […]
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 […]
Belle Spafford was president of the Relief Society for twenty years. The Church went through much growth and change during her presidency. It’s too bad most of the sisters in our Relief Society don’t know this vibrant, loveable, and intelligent woman. Read her bio here for a little background on her. Here are a […]
I ponder Relief Society constantly. I think about its history and all that our organization has accomplished over the years. I think of its purpose. I believe Relief Society has but one purpose, but so many wonderful ways to achieve it. And I think of its destiny. What is in store? When the gospel was […]
