To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Have you ever felt hurt by those you serve with, in your callings? Have misunderstandings stirred a resentful heart, culminating in an output of gossip and blackened reputation? This is a sad, but true example of the damage that is caused by petty female jealousies. We must be watchful and learn from this lesson. In 1882, the […]
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, […]
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.

There is a deeper understanding we can gain from the Visiting Teaching message this month. I have broken it up into three parts: Under the Priesthood, After the Pattern of the Priesthood, and Personal Revelation. After the Pattern of the Priesthood LDS women, who want the Priesthood and think they should have the Priesthood, don’t […]
If you were to look up the word Suffrage in the dictionary, you would see that the word means “the right to vote.” A Suffragist was one who desired to achieve this privilege, and a Suffragette was a negative label put upon those who took things a step further and wanted equal rights.

You know, when I started this blog, I had a lot of questions of what our organization was about. What’s the big deal anyway? There are so many of us now, we reach across the globe, experiencing a multitude of different lives; our interests are drastically different. Being women, our desires change from day to […]
We are women of destiny. When the Relief Society was first organized, there were nineteen members, plus officers. By the following March, there were 1158 members attending. They outgrew their meeting room almost immediately, so they met in “The Grove”, where the spillage of sisters could all be included. The Society became so popular that […]
