To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
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 […]
Last Mother’s Day, I invited Katie Covey Mangus to share the talk she gave at our Sacrament Meeting, because I thought it was brilliant, and asked if I could post it here on this site. You’ll see why for yourself as I have reposted it below for you to enjoy again. One short year later […]
This is a talk I ran across, in the Relief Society Magazine, given by Joseph Fielding Smith who was serving as the President of the Quorum of the Twelve at the time. “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would never have been finished without the organization known as the Relief Society which embraces […]
This is mother’s response to our son’s request. (Read here to read a father’s response.) Dear Son, So many women don’t understand the Plan of Heavenly Father. Isn’t it silly that they think they can call the shots and change doctrine? The order of the priesthood is not a guideline from the Handbook, it is […]
Our son was presented with a question about women and the priesthood and he came to us for clarification, so he could give her a better answer. This was his father’s reply. The next post will be his mother’s input. Dear Son, Petitioning the church to allow women to have the priesthood is a cause […]
This is a talk given by my friend, Donna Harbuck. She recently shared, in a Sacrament Meeting talk, some stories about the courageous women in her family background. I hope you enjoy these stories as much as I did. I start with my great-great grandmother Sarah Augusta Squires. Her family joined the church in England […]
“Ugh! You’re so stupid!” No, I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to myself. Actually, I used to talk to myself this way. All the time. Recently I was awakened to the fact that almost constantly, at least any time I forgot something, dropped something, made a mistake or said something stupid (as I said, […]
In Feb. 1972, for the General Women’s Meeting, Harold B. Lee, then President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, spoke about Motherhood. This is a portion of his talk. “To be what God intended you to be as a woman depends on the way you think, believe, live, dress, and conduct yourselves as true […]
I was standing in a long line, at a restaurant, where I was behind some girls, maybe in their twenties. My daughter has told me that women talk this way, but I had never really witnessed it for myself. And I have to admit, I was shocked, disgusted, and very very sad. These three women […]
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 […]
