Sometimes we feel completely empty and our pitcher is bone dry of the nourishing elixir of liquid wholeness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Jesus Christ told the woman at the well, \u201cWhosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/scriptures\/nt\/john\/4.13-14?lang=eng\">(John 4:13-14).<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">We want our pitchers to be full of the spiritual water Christ offers. But guess what? At baptism, we were each given the ability to share that precious water. We covenanted to bear one another\u2019s burdens and mourn with those that mourn (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.churchofjesuschrist.org\/study\/scriptures\/bofm\/mosiah\/18.8-9?lang=eng\">Mosiah 18:8-9<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I love this picture of women helping one another at the well. Many of us don\u2019t literally have to go to the well to get water, but I think we miss out on something. Take a look at these sisters at the well. Can you imagine the conversations that take place?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Some women have an innate gift to fill someone else\u2019s pitcher. Others have to work at it a little bit. But all of us feel the need to have someone around who cares and will ask us the right questions that ignite that living water within us.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">I listened to a Stake Relief Society president who testified that she felt her greatest mission in her calling was to conduct regular interviews with her ward presidents. These interviews always focused on the president; how she was doing and what was happening in her life. One question is always included: How have you drawn upon spiritual power this past week? Notice: her interviews aren&#8217;t about the president\u2019s responsibilities. Questions focus on her well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Asking about her relationship with the spirit is profound to me. The spirit is immediately invited into the conversation. Instantly, the president centers her thoughts on what really is important and how the Lord is with her. Magnificently, her pitcher is filled. I can feel my own pitcher filling just thinking about that focused and loving conversation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Often, our pitcher dries out because we don\u2019t recognize the spirit in our lives. We can help one another recognize the blessings in each of our lives simply by asking about them. We can relish the fact that we are all loved by a Father in Heaven. Our problems don\u2019t go away, but with a filled pitcher we can pull ourselves together and begin again, refreshed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As we continue working on our ministering, what can we do to help fill the pitchers around us? The sisterhood of our Relief Society can be a real strength for those (all of us) who get battered down. We all get a little forgetful of the blessings that surround our blind and burdened eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The Savior has taught us profoundly in His scriptures. He really has shown us the way. Come to the everlasting well of refreshment and be filled by your loving sisters, the spirit, and truth that our Savior can carry us through even the most devastating trial of our lives. As He offers us peace, He has also provided us with the ability to fill one another\u2019s pitchers. Just think of the power that wields!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">So, stake RS presidents, don&#8217;t forget that your RS presidents need to be ministered to as well. Their pitchers are most likely drained. Ask them how they are doing. Ask if they are reading their scriptures. Ask if they have concerns they can share with no one else. Ask them if they might share moments they have felt the spirit with you. Thank them for their service. You are the model for them to minister to their ward sisters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">And, ward RS presidencies, you have the responsibility to minister to every sister in the ward every quarter. Your ministering interview may be the only ministering they receive. How are they doing? Are they receiving strength from the scriptures and the temple? Do they have concerns or spiritual highs they&#8217;d like to share. You are modeling how ministering can be done in such a way that uplifts both, and all, sisters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Sisters, ministering is a way for all of us to connect. Women need connections. This false idea of seeing a sister at church is not ministering. Go to her. Be her friend. Serve her. Testify to her. Connections are real and can lift the downtrodden instantly and eternally.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever heard of the idea of filling someone\u2019s pitcher?
