To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This was a letter from the First Presidency, to every member of the Relief Society, back in September 1942. It was given in recognition of a new book, A Centenary of Relief Society, which was published by the General Board in commemoration of the centennial anniversary of that organization. It was also to be read […]
This year marks the 170th anniversary of the organization of the Relief Society. What are you doing to celebrate? March 17th is around the corner, so I’m sure you all have plans already for your celebration. But, just in case, I’ve got some ideas any group or individual can do. With last year’s emphasis on […]
Do you truly believe you are Guardians of the Hearth? Do you take that role seriously, and seek to establish, nurture, and defend the family from this position? The world would have you scoff at that notion. It would convince you that “men and women have been socialized to perform certain gender specific roles”. It […]
I thought, in honor of our Visiting Teaching message this month, I would look through the Ensign and find stories about visiting teaching. I went through the motions of family life day after day but felt increasingly alone. One day, my visiting teachers called. They shared with me a lesson on reading the scriptures. I […]

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 […]

How we conduct ourselves in all situations is better than any words we may offer them. Years ago, I made a mistake in […]
I hope you all had the opportunity to listen to the General Women’s Meeting. As usual, it was uplifting and soul building. As I listened to the speakers, I hoped to find things that I personally should be working on. What are they telling ME that I should do? Sis. Beck spoke on the pattern […]
