To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
I ran across an article in the Woman’s Exponent entitled The Spirit of Relief Society Work. It serves as another reminder of days that must be remembered. “We may sum up in substance the spirit of Relief Society work as developing in the woman who undertakes it, charity, long-suffering, gentleness, patience, humility—these and many more […]
Meeting held in the grove, June 19th, 1842. President Joseph Smith attended and opened the meeting with prayer. Character was clearly very important to Joseph Smith. He said, “Sometimes persons wish to put themselves into a Society of this kind, when they do not intend to pursue the ways of purity and righteousness, as if […]
Back in 1985, Pres. Hinckley gave a talk on “Ten Gifts from the Lord”. As I read through these gifts I was reminded of the spiritual purposes of Relief Society, and my blessings of its membership. YOU HAVE THE GIFT, THE OPPORTUNITY, AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DOING GOOD. Our charge, according to Jesus Christ himself, […]

Elder Richard G. Scott’s talk on Spiritual Guidance, this past General Conference, was full of practical directions that even I can follow. With the General Relief Society Presidency asking us to seek our own personal revelation as we strengthen our ward and stake Relief Societies, as well as ourselves, I felt this was timely information.

There has always been a problem with modesty…and there always will be, because Satan knows just how to grease the wheel. We raised two girls and four boys. From the time the girls were small, sleeves always covered their shoulders, including sundresses, when they were babies. They learned to feel naked without a solid covering. […]
The 10th Meeting of the Relief Society was held on May 27th, 1842, in the grove. (That means they outgrew their room. Sis. Whitney asked a few of the sisters the day before, to meet somewhere else and pray together, since there was no room for them. At this meeting they were all able to […]
I found my list of 101 grateful things for 2008 and decided it was time to get started with my 2009 list. Last time it took two sides of one page, two columns each, squeezing, minimizing, and making it fit. This time I’m going to use as many pages as I need to explain why […]
