November 2012 Relief Society Newsletter
As a stake Relief Society presidency, we enjoyed meeting with each of our ward Relief Society presidencies at our Stake Leadership meeting a couple of weeks ago. We are very blessed to have such dedicated, kind and thoughtful women serving within each of our wards! Our stake is truly strengthened by your service. We have also felt and witnessed the many kind acts of love and care that the Relief Society sisters in our stake take part in all of the time. Once again, we are blessed to have that kind of ministering happening here!
During General Conference, Sister Linda K. Burton, our General Relief Society president said, “One of the greatest evidences we have that our beloved prophet, President Thomas S. Monson, is the Lord’s servant is that he has learned to follow the Savior’s example – serving individually, one by one. Those of us who have entered the waters of baptism have covenanted to ‘always remember (the Savior) and keep his commandments.’ and He has said, ‘This is my commandment, that ye love one another, as I have loved you.’
During this month of November as our minds turn to the numerous blessings we have, I think that we can best show our gratitude to our loving Father in Heaven by following the counsel of our General Relief Society President, (Sister Burton) to remember 4 words…
“First Observe, Then Serve.”
As I have thought about the countless acts of kindness given to my family and to me, my heart is filled with gratitude for those Christ like acts of service. Thank you for observing a need and serving in the Lord’s way!
I know that we are all invited to follow Jesus’ teachings to minister and to love one another…we can do this by first observing and then serving each other.
May you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving, enjoying the many blessing we have been given!
Much Love,
Lisa, Barbara, Jocelyn, Kay
