To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
(From October 2011 Priesthood session of General Conference.) I have always felt a little jealous of the talks the men receive during the Priesthood session of conference. Their talks always seem to be more specific, more demanding, and more “important” somehow. I now have a different view that I will share with you. First of […]
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 […]
Funerals don’t happen very often, but when they do, it is important they are handled in the most sensitive, smoothest way possible. This is a list created by Michelle Linford, of Mormon Women. She and her committee have used this, learning through trial and error, finally hitting on a helpful set of guidelines. I will […]
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. […]
I took this story out of the Church News, October 15, 2011: “Sister Beck shared an experience she and her husband, Ramon P. Beck, had of stopping by the home of a family where the mother had recently given birth to her third child, and the husband had broken his leg the day before in […]
The Daughters in my Kingdom book is full of interesting things to talk about in our Relief Societies. We learn about our history and what our sisters once did in difficult times. We can learn a lot from how they stood up to those difficult times. Incorporating this book into our lessons will remind us […]
The young women have been focusing on the principle of virtue these past few years. We, as their mothers, should be the best example for them to truly understand what virtue means. How we conduct ourselves in all situations is better than any words we may offer them. Years ago, I made a mistake in […]
The October Ensign is a special issue emphasizing the Book of Mormon. Once again, it appears our leaders are trying to get us to think how best to rescue our families and loved ones in these very trying times. So many answers lie within the pages of this marvelous work and wonder. If we aren’t […]
