As I have reflected on the blessings of the RS, preparing for the upcoming RS Birthday Dinner I am in charge of, I was so grateful to read the RS Declaration. Can't even express the gratitude I have for the gospel- that we KNOW we are beloved spirit daughters of God, and our lives have meaning, purpose, and direction.
THE RELIEF SOCIETY OF
THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
are beloved spirit daughters of God,
and our lives have meaning, purpose, and direction.
As a worldwide sisterhood, we are united in our devotion
to Jesus Christ, our Savior and Exemplar.
We are women of faith, virtue, vision, and charity who:
Increase our testimonies of Jesus Christ
through prayer and scripture study.
Seek spiritual strength by following the
promptings of the Holy Ghost.
Dedicate ourselves to strengthening
marriages, families, and homes.
Find nobility in motherhood
and joy in womanhood.
Delight in service and good works.
Love life and learning.
Stand for truth and righteousness.
Sustain the priesthood
as the authority of God on earth.
Rejoice in the blessings of the temple,
understand our divine destiny,
and strive for exaltation.
I love this song too sung by Gladys Knight- Sisters in Christ- which states, "Teach us love and understanding, lift our eyes and change our hearts. Make us one in faith, and give us strength to stand for who we are. Grant us charity and vision! As we serve and sacrifice, that we may become sisters in Christ."
Anyways! Had to share. Incredible blessing to have this direction and purpose and meaning in our life... no matter what stage of life we are in...
