Tonight I attended the General Relief Society meeting in the Conference Center with some lovely ladies from my ward. (I carpooled with Bonny and Arlene and saw several others there.)
I am grateful that a loving Father in Heaven will allow an imperfect daughter to feel so uplifted by messages intended to strengthen, inspire and encourage. Isn't it amazing that despite our faults and weaknesses we are still loved enough (immeasurably) to be able to experience the feelings of the Spirit, listen to prophets of God and take counsel from leaders who care about our welfare?
Some thoughts:
- The purpose of Relief Society is to organize, teach and inspire daughters of God to prepare for eternal life
- Our RS sisters take care of us--most importantly as spiritual mentors
- We must seek revelation for our callings
- I live in Utah--6, soon 8, temples within an hour--nothing like the sacrifices made by so many faithful Saints across the world
- Serve and love our sisters
- We are spirit daughters of the most creative Being the in the universe--we can create beautiful lives, things, memories and relationships (i.e. we can't discount our talents)
- The number of prayers we say is important, but the number of prayers we are instrumental in answering will bring the greatest joy

I enjoyed it as well. There were about 25 people at the stake house. :)
Isn't it fun that even though we all heard the same talk we all take a little something different from it. I didn't apologize for dinner tonight :)
