To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
What do Holy Women do with their time? v We study the gospel v We teach the gospel v We provide comfortable, loving, well maintained homes by: Cooking nutritious meals, and seeing that our family eats together Decorating our homes, on a budget, in a pleasing way Controlling our spending urges and budgeting our money […]
I am grateful to a church that would inspire its women to be…Great, Educated, Strong, and Powerful. Some women might argue this point, but there have been too many General Conference addresses of the Brethren praising and glorifying us, for me to feel oppressed and constrained. Our church history is rich with inspired, educated, powerful, […]
We have been taught so many things over the years. Because of modern technology we are able to actually dig up old talks and relearn what was once learned. I love the fact that we have access to all of the conference addresses EVER given and can glean such great words as this. The following […]
What makes us holy women? We follow the Lord and His commandments that lead toward salvation. Holy women DO NOT follow the world, Satan, and his minions. It is a choice each member of the Relief Society of the Church of Jesus Christ has to make. I wish I’d been alive to hear Eliza R. […]
I hope most of you are familiar with the Relief Society’s work in gathering wheat; and how it was a huge contributing factor to the Welfare Department. This is the story: Sister Emmeline B. Wells became associate editor of the Woman’s Exponent in 1875 and editor in 1876. “Aunt Em”, as she was affectionately called, is […]
I recently watched an old videotaping of the Phil Donahue Show with three women who brazenly forfeited their membership in the LDS Church because they were feminists and didn’t like the church’s stand (this was back in 1993). Briefly, I’ll quickly give you the lineup of these women, but it’s the fourth woman I would […]
Our gospel is a maker of heroines. Celebrate with me one such heroine; one of many. Amanda Barnes was born on February 22, 1809, in Becket, Berkshire, Massachusetts. She married twice, two different men, each by the name of Warren Smith. She had five children with the first Warren Smith; three children with the second. […]
Joseph Smith taught the women, in those early meetings in Nauvoo, much about the principle of charity. As this is a woman’s sacred calling, we carry the “mantle of charity”. Where have we heard a similar phrase? The men carry the “mantle of the priesthood”. Likewise, we women carry this co-partner. Is that something to […]
Newsletters are great. I’ve seen so many different styles over the years; it kind of gives you a flavor of what the ward is like, at a glance. I can still say today that my favorite calling has been the ward newsletter person. Before you all write me off as crazy, I’ll tell you what […]
This is a comment I received that offers some interesting food to digest. What do you think? “From Sis. Beck’s “Mothers Who Know” 2007 talk: “Mothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their […]
