I LOVE this book!!!
I've worked in RS many years, and I am just beginning to get an insight into its greatness. Belle S Spafford
As I read this book, I received a rekindling of the vision and testimony of RS I was first blessed with in college. The burning gratitude returned, as did a sense of deepened purpose, focused desire, and a softened/ enlarged heart. I LOVE Relief Society and everything that it stands for and helps me to be. Some of the greatest blessings of friendship and service have come to me due to my membership and involvement in RS.
Purposes: Increase Faith and Personal Righteousness, strengthen families and homes, and provide relief by seeking out and helping those in need. March 17, 1842
-Willing to give an portion, or all of my time.
-I stress... the deep need each woman has to study the scriptures. We want our homes to be blessed with sister scriptorians... Become scholars of the scriptures -not to put others down, but to lift them up. Kimball
-Let your first business be to perform your duties at home. Insamuch as you are wise stewards, you will find time for social duties. .. your capacity will increase, and you will be astonished at what you can accomplish. -ER Snow
-God does notice... it is usually through another person that he meets our needs. Kimball
-The RS is divinely made, divinely authorized, divinely instituted, divinely ordained of God to minister for the salvation of the souls of women and of men. JF Smith
-Once I started looking, I found all sorts of ways to help theses sisters help themselves and each other...
-I have tried not to suppress any inclinations to generous word or deed.
-You are the guardians of the hearth, you are the bearers of the children, You are they who nurture them and establish within them the habits of their lives. No other work reaches so close to divinity as doe the nurturing of the sons and daughters of God... We call upon parents to devote their best efforts to the teaching and rearing of their children in gospel principles. Hinckley
-Let your first business be to perform your duties at home. -ER Snow (never had children of her own)
- Call your children around you... and pray with them... warn them of the evils that surround us. Be diligent in all the duties of life, as mothers and wives... Let us be careful to speak with wisdom before our little ones, avoiding fault-finding, ... and cultivate the higher attributes of our nature, that will tend to elevate, refine, and purify the heart. We should take the utmost pains to teach the children of Zion to be honest, virtuous, upright and punctual in all their duties; also to be industrious and keep the Sabbath day holy. -ZDH Young
-There is an art to being a homemaker... it is important that we have a sanctuary- a place of refuge where we feel comfortable and where [others can too]. BW Winder
- To nurture means to cultivate, care for, and make grow. Mothers should create a climate for spiritual and temporal growth in their hoes. Another word for nurturing is homemaking. Home is where women have the most power and influence. Nurturing requires organization, patience, love, and work. -Beck
