To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Our busy lifestyles can be overwhelming. All of us get caught up in the everyday drudgery of our “to-do” list. And if it’s not things we’re having to do, it’s worries that weigh us down, or health and safety issues, and so many things that life in general subscribes to. We have been told by […]
I have seen over and over a Relief Society Presidency all fired up and ready to serve after first being called only to fizzle out of steam after a year or so in the calling. I have to ask…how do you think those sisters, who served 25-50 years in their calling, did it? This happens […]
There is so much power in the knowledge we have of our divine origin, and of who we truly were before we came to this earth. The scriptures teach us that we were “noble and great”, that we were the “faithful daughters” of Mother Eve, and that we took an active role in the councils […]
We live in a busy world. We often complain, “I’m too busy,” or “I’m fighting fires here,” or “I’ll get to it when I have a minute to breathe.” But what does that really mean? There is no doubt that our calendars are full, but what are they really full of? The honest answer is […]
Do you have a testimony of Relief Society? That is the question you need to ask yourself this month. What makes Relief Society different from what the world offers women? I think our lesson this month asks us to examine how we feel, as women, about our place in the kingdom of God. Women have […]
As you read through our Visiting Teaching message this month, I hope Eliza R. Snow’s quote strikes a chord in every one of us, as sisters in the kingdom: “If any of the daughters and mothers in Israel are feeling in the least circumscribed [limited] in their present spheres, they will now find ample scope […]
Daughters in My Kingdom isn’t exactly what you expect, because there has never been anything like it before. But, you will feel the spirit as you gain an understanding of the history and work of Relief Society through its pages. Countless prophecies have told us that in the last days we will have to choose whose […]
I am grateful to a church that would inspire its women to be…Great, Educated, Strong, and Powerful. Some women might argue this point, but there have been too many General Conference addresses of the Brethren praising and glorifying us, for me to feel oppressed and constrained. Our church history is rich with inspired, educated, powerful, […]
I recently watched an old videotaping of the Phil Donahue Show with three women who brazenly forfeited their membership in the LDS Church because they were feminists and didn’t like the church’s stand (this was back in 1993). Briefly, I’ll quickly give you the lineup of these women, but it’s the fourth woman I would […]
Over the years, Church history scholars have written papers, articles, and books about the great pioneers who have carved our latter-day legacy. I enjoy randomly coming upon recorded remembrances that have miraculously survived, been researched, and made available to us so we can continue along our own paths of enduring faith. It is sad, but […]
