To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I’m realizing more and more just how profitable it is to search the scriptures, learn from them, then teach the beautiful doctrine that is in them. First, there is no way we can remember everything that is in those pages, so they must be read over and over again, and Second, as we confront all […]
Back in 1969, Elder Harold B. Lee was asked, by the Relief Society General Presidency, to address the women on the obligations of membership in the Relief Society. I’ve outlined a little of what he said: He quoted the First Presidency, who spoke at the Relief Society Centennial, in 1947: “Frequent recurrence to fundamentals is […]
I thought, in honor of our Visiting Teaching message this month, I would look through the Ensign and find stories about visiting teaching. I went through the motions of family life day after day but felt increasingly alone. One day, my visiting teachers called. They shared with me a lesson on reading the scriptures. I […]
This month’s visiting teaching message is reminding us how to be better visiting teachers. They use the word “Watchcare”. That is a sweet term, isn’t it? We must watchcare over one another. Before you set out to do your visiting teaching, be sure to read Chapter 7, Pure Religion, in Daughters in my Kingdom. This […]
As you read through our Visiting Teaching message this month, I hope Eliza R. Snow’s quote strikes a chord in every one of us, as sisters in the kingdom: “If any of the daughters and mothers in Israel are feeling in the least circumscribed [limited] in their present spheres, they will now find ample scope […]
I half-heartedly apologize for this rambling post. At the beginning of the year, I set a goal to read the New Testament, along with Sunday School class. I have never done this before, so I was determined to prove myself capable of follow-through. As I read, I have been writing my thoughts in a notebook […]
We’ve been reminded often, by the Brethren, the importance of being grateful every day. Well, here it is—November—so it’s time to start thinking about it, right? I know, it’s just not easy to think of blessings when so many things are going on in our lives, both good and bad, but always overwhelming. I don’t […]
Sometimes, I wonder if we are building as much character in our Young Women as we used to. 1916 BEEHIVE REQUIREMENTS In 1916, every female over fourteen was a Beehive girl until she entered Relief Society; there were no Mia Maids, Gleaners, or Laurels. The following are twenty out of the three hundred seventy-three requirements […]
In my daughter’s single’s ward, they arranged to have the Elder’s Quorum President teach Relief Society, and the Relief Society President teach Elder’s Quorum. The RS President spoke about Pornography. The EQ President collected comments from the men about their feelings of immodesty. I share these revealing comments with you. “Yes, Modesty is more […]
Ephesians has always been my favorite book in the New Testament. It must be the armor thing. That was always a great lesson in Seminary, FHE, Primary, even Gospel Doctrine. There’s just something about being warriors for Christ. As I have grown in understanding of the gospel, I have learned to love Ephesians even more. […]
