To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This is the first time I address motherhood directly, but you must know that indirectly all of my posts have centered around good mothering and all the responsibilities that rest on our shoulders as mothers. You know the old joke that men don’t multi-task like women … That’s exactly what we were born to do, […]
Years ago, while serving in a RS Presidency, I wanted to invite the Young Women to join their mothers for a Sunday lesson on Modesty. I felt (and still feel strongly) that mother’s are half, if not the majority of the problem, of making sure young girls are dressed to “fit in”. Is anyone concerned that […]
As I continue thinking about RS activities, I think we all have similar complaints. It’s frustrating to plan something and nobody comes. It’s hard to come up with something the sisters will find appealing and get them to commit their time. Jane, your comment from Sis. Beck was perfect. Are we creating the socializing event […]
I have heard this from so many women: “Something is wrong with Relief Society; I just can’t put my finger on it.” I think I’m feeling that if we are going to get together as sisters it needs to be worthwhile; something of value, a true accomplishment, something that has purpose. The early RS […]
The word for man and woman in Hebrew symbolically illustrate each is of divine origin as well as has a divine future. We will look at each word for woman and man in Hebrew and discuss the symbolism. Man in Hebrew is pronounced `ish and looks like this: (Note: Hebrew is read left to right, […]

I have to admit, I struggle habitually reading my scriptures. Depending on my calling at the time, I can get into a great routine—or not. I remember praying for some major help in setting up a failsafe plan and I suddenly found myself teaching Gospel Doctrine. Yikes! You get what you ask for! But the […]
As I have learned about the original RS sisters, and their spirits, I have pondered what we, as 21st century sisters, could do better. This is what I came up with: • Be a powerful example for good • Know the gospel better; understand and work with the Priesthood more • Stand as a witness; […]
In the mid-1800’s women’s societies were cropping up all over the nation’s eastern seaboard. These popular groups brought women together. Sarah Kimball organized a small sewing group to be just like the women of the world. When Joseph Smith heard about the group, he loved the idea. However, he informed the women that the Lord […]
The most important questions people seek in life are: Who am I, Why am I here, and Where am I going? The church has capitalized on these questions and offered inspiring answers, which we all are most grateful for and testify of. But, we, as women of the church ask these very same questions of […]
