To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I’ve covered a lot of the history of the Relief Society on this site. Since I’m not a scholar, I don’t have a driving passion to find every single pioneer record, or to write extensive biographies on every woman who ever lived and breathed, and for that matter, I’ve discovered that many documents and […]
Everyone has their own idea of how a Relief Society Newsletter should look. Actually, most of them look a lot alike with a list of birthdays, calendar events, and maybe the visiting teaching message for the month. Pretty simple and basic. Some wards have gotten into the Information Age and created blogs where they can […]
For those who were unable to attend the Auxiliary Training in Salt Lake City, you’ll be thrilled to know that you can view the session online at lds.org, as if you were there. They gave us a lot of information, a lot of things to think about, and the spirit flowed. They will continue along […]
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 […]
In the movie, A Beautiful Mind, John Nash is a schizophrenic genius. He meets a woman who falls in love with him and they marry. She realizes that even though she loves him dearly, she is a 24-hour nanny to him and the pressure is overwhelming. Yet Alicia Nash is still able to say, “I […]
LOVE, WATCH OVER, AND STRENGTHEN The General Relief Society announced they were going to be emphasizing Visiting Teaching for the rest of the year. I imagine this will continue with the new Relief Society Presidency. I like this approach. In order to reach people, you need to go after the heart first, and that is […]
On January 17th, 2012 Sis. Beck gave the devotional address at Brigham Young University. Her topic was sort of a culmination of what her presidency has tried to teach us. You can find the talk at BYU Speeches. Sis. Beck has been very consistent as she urges us to strengthen our own faith in the Lord […]
Sometimes it’s just nice to get the original statement, instead of someone else’s interpretation. Read this for yourself to understand our responsibility as women—to the Church, to men, to ourselves, and to one another. We are not expected to ride on men’s shoulders, we are responsible for our own salvation. Together, as men and women, […]
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 continually share my testimony of how we, as the women in the church, work with the men, to bring to pass the blessings of the priesthood. Too many of us still think that the men ARE the priesthood, which is not doctrine. The men are caretakers of the priesthood. Through this gift, they are […]
