To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Over the years, Church history scholars have written papers, articles, and books about the great pioneers who have carved our latter-day legacy. I enjoy randomly coming upon recorded remembrances that have miraculously survived, been researched, and made available to us so we can continue along our own paths of enduring faith. It is sad, but […]
There is nothing like being bombarded, from all angles, with a message. The first thing was a reminder that this month’s Visiting Teaching message should come out of the Conference Addresses. That is always difficult for me to do; I sometimes pick several and combine their message, or pick a different one for each sister, […]
We enjoyed reenacting the first Relief Society meetings where we got an idea what it was like for these women who were the first in this dispensation to be organized into a sisterhood. Joseph Smith told the sisters that an organization for women has always existed on the earth. We have much to be grateful […]
I love finding these articles that give you a snapshot of what it was like “way back when”. Enjoy this article from the Relief Society Magazine in Mar 1939. “According to one of our great modern thinkers, we Americans have experienced “seven adventures in pioneering”: first, for spiritual freedom—the right to worship God as conscience […]
What is our first thought as we approach Easter, this most holy day of holidays? As I contemplate this special time of year, I praise the Lord for my increased knowledge, through study and prayer, which He has given me for the building up of my testimony, and love, for the Savior of the World. […]
“There is one holiday, or more properly holy day, generally observed among Christians, the date of which is still set somewhat after the old Jewish reckoning. That is Easter, which comes near the time of the Feast of the Passover, being the Sabbath directly following the first full moon after the vernal equinox, which marks […]
Who says we can’t have anymore ward activities? Not the handbook. It’s possible the activities chairman was falling into the trap of hosting too many parties and our leaders would like us to be a little more purposeful at our gatherings. In ward council, the leaders in the ward can brainstorm ideas to get various […]
How many lessons on tithing and fast offering have we had over the years? Have we stopped listening, or just rehashed the same ideas? For so many years we have been reminded what tithing really is, so here is the real question: Are we just paying our tithing? Or are we repaying the Lord for […]
We’ve had a little time to digest the new Handbook. All of us can look at it, because it’s online at www.lds.org. I think it’s significant that it’s available to all of us. We are all expected to be active members of this Church. Understanding “The Church Plan” allows all of us to get involved […]
I don’t usually watch Oprah, but I caught the show, a while back, with Goldie Hawn. The show was about finding happiness, so it caught my eye. The Hawn Foundation is an organization to help children, our future, find happiness in this very difficult world we live in. They listed several things that will bring […]
