To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
This is a General Conference Odyssey post for the General Young Women’s Meeting of the April 2008 General Conference. Our world is messed up! But, then, we all know that. Even those who have their own moral code, outside of our traditional Judeo-Christian belief system, recognize the world is full of problems. We are all […]
Have you ever wondered about the adaptations of our Sabbath Day? When I was young, we went to church morning and afternoon on Sundays and had auxiliary meetings during the week. It’s interesting to see how our Sabbath worship has changed over the years. The Church was organized in 1830, but the first Sabbath Day […]
As I’ve been reading through the talks from our recent General Conference, I felt inspired to read through the Relief Society Declaration and compare it with the Young Women Theme. Even though they are different organizations, the RS and YW are strikingly similar in purpose and destiny. The Relief Society Declaration was first given to […]
What does it take to be a great and faithful leader in our church? During this General Conference (April 1984) two great and faithful leaders were released, after years of service, and two new leaders were sustained. Elaine A. Cannon, as Young Women General President served for six years while Barbara B. Smith, as Relief […]
I’m a little slow, but I finally sat down and listened to some of the BYU Women’s Conference talks. They are now available on BYUtv. I enjoyed listening to the new Young Women Presidency. They were fun and told us a little about themselves. After reflecting a minute, and going over my notes, I correlated […]
The Church announced that this year all women, from eight years of age and up, would meet together for both spring and fall Women’s meetings. I’m so glad of this change! This should have been done a long time ago, so I’m happy it’s finally happened. So, why did they decide to include the eight […]
We’ve been reminded often, by the Brethren, the importance of being grateful every day. Well, here it is—November—so it’s time to start thinking about it, right? I know, it’s just not easy to think of blessings when so many things are going on in our lives, both good and bad, but always overwhelming. I don’t […]
Sometimes, I wonder if we are building as much character in our Young Women as we used to. 1916 BEEHIVE REQUIREMENTS In 1916, every female over fourteen was a Beehive girl until she entered Relief Society; there were no Mia Maids, Gleaners, or Laurels. The following are twenty out of the three hundred seventy-three requirements […]
In my daughter’s single’s ward, they arranged to have the Elder’s Quorum President teach Relief Society, and the Relief Society President teach Elder’s Quorum. The RS President spoke about Pornography. The EQ President collected comments from the men about their feelings of immodesty. I share these revealing comments with you. “Yes, Modesty is more […]
I really love running into articles, written years ago, that echo what we need to hear today. Nothing has changed, yet everything has changed. No guilt trip intended; just think about it… THE PRESENT-DAY NEED FOR TRAINING OUR DAUGHTERS IN HOMEMAKING SKILLS “No matter what other interests a girl has in life, what line of […]
