To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
If you missed the Relief Society Broadcast, you can listen and read the transcript here. I invite, and encourage, you to watch it. It’s easy to glaze over it as just a nice meeting, but they gave us some great and meaningful direction. The Relief Society Presidency spoke, as well as our dear prophet. Here […]
I guess I’m on the right track with our General Conference Odyssey, because the Lord did it again. He lined things up in my life to fit the talks of this particular session: Sunday morning of October 1989. Gordon B. Hinckley spoke on “An Ensign to the Nations” where he retraces the first pioneers who […]
During the Ezra Taft Benson years, there were a lot of talks, given in General Conference, about the Book of Mormon. In the first session of the April 1987 conference two important thoughts seemed to stand out: 1) Living our religion fearlessly and faithfully, 2) Reading the Book of Mormon with purpose. These talks basically […]
I’m still working my way through the recent General Conference talks. We were told some pretty amazing things. In particular, in his talk, Spiritual Treasures, I found 25 treasures Pres. Nelson asked women to seek. Learn and understand our temple blessings. Learn and understand more of what the restoration of the priesthood encompasses. Claim our […]
As I’ve been reading through the talks from our recent General Conference, I felt inspired to read through the Relief Society Declaration and compare it with the Young Women Theme. Even though they are different organizations, the RS and YW are strikingly similar in purpose and destiny. The Relief Society Declaration was first given to […]
The other day, I happened to be looking online for a painting by Minerva Teichert. I really love her style and would like to have something of hers hanging on my wall. But, instead, I ran into something I had never seen before. It was a certificate of the Relief Society declaring its purpose. Remember […]
President Russell M. Nelson has told us that the restoration of The Church of Jesus Christ is ongoing as changes will increasingly occur. “Eat your vitamins.” Thirty-five years ago, Elder Neal A. Maxwell spoke about the church coming out of obscurity. He too explained how the restoration is a process. “Furthermore, God has chosen to […]
The underground train, in London, is much narrower than the tunnel it travels through, so much so, there is a gap as you step from train to platform. Signs and announcers remind you constantly to beware of getting caught in the gap. As I saw the signs and heard the announcements, I remembered a talk […]
Because there is a war going on between good and evil, sometimes I wonder what Relief Society is doing about it. Is it okay to talk about issues that are controversial during class or activities? Not to be controversial, but to become aware of the evil around us and know how to stand for truth. […]
A few thoughts have been going around in my head recently. First, is the concern I’ve seen from sisters that there isn’t more of a feeling of unity within their Relief Societies. Second, hearing comments about Pres. and Sis. Oaks’ recent counsel to young marrieds in Chicago. Third, I’ve started reading Daughters in My Kingdom, […]
