To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Our Guest Post is by Katie Mangus. She writes: For Mother’s Day, I had the privilege of attending a mother daughter luncheon where Sister Elaine Dalton, the General Young Women’s President, spoke. Sister Dalton spoke on virtue, divine nature, and individual worth; enhancing our softer, feminine side. She said multiple times how we are […]
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 […]
This is such a great idea. Thanks for sending this in!! “A few weeks ago my third daughter turned 10, and I began preparing for our Mother/Daughter Birthday Date, which has become a “Coming of Age” tradition in our home. This tradition began when my first daughter turned 10. She was in 4th grade, and […]
In General Conference (Nov. 2010), Elder Larry R. Lawrence gave a talk on Courageous Parenting. I was so grateful for this talk, I practically underlined the whole thing. My husband and I admit we were blessed with good kids, but you know, even good kids can wander off into paths unknown. Where this isn’t the […]
My wife and I just recently dropped off our last child of six children, a son, to the Provo Utah Missionary Training Center (MTC). This is our fifth child (four sons and a daughter) to serve a full-time mission. Our oldest daughter didn’t serve a mission, but found her eternal companion at BYU and married […]
The Relief Society Magazine used to have a feature entitled, “Unusual Mothers”. It would spotlight women who had given birth to a large number of children. Often these women spotlighted were women who had sixteen, eighteen, or more children. Indeed, those numbers are unusual, even for then, and deserve some honor. As I understand it, […]
School is starting up. It’s always an exciting time of year with new clothes, new schools and classes, and new friends. It’s also a break for mom. Come on, admit it! You can actually have a couple of hours to do something you want to do, finally. But, then come the after school activities and […]
There are several thoughts, questions, and ideas going through my head that I’m just going to pour them out in this post, and think about…publicly. Recently, I have experienced moments where I feel like a message is being forced into my head. I just have to think about it and let it stir my conscience […]
I found an interview with Belle Spafford (General Relief Society President) and I have to admit, I was expecting it to be full of outdated ideals and irrelevant expectations. I was surprised to see how relevant everything still was. Certainly times have changed. People’s thinking has most definitely changed. Yet, I see how truths have […]
