I have lo...Thank you for all that you have written. I have loved Relief Society from the moment I was baptised in 1979. I have attended single, married and divorced. I have stuffed many 3-ring binders with notes about marriage and raising children. I would sit leaning forward taking it all in. Planning all the wonderful ideas I would use with my children someday. Now at age 55, with my two boys all grown up (20 and 23), I find I have a great deal of anxiety attending Relief Society. I constantly think about everything I planned to do with my children but didn't with my boys. I hadn't put anything in my plan about having my husband walk out the door suddenly one day when my boys were age 3 and 5. I never planned on being a single mother - wearing both hats. Having to be the wage earner and the nurturer. I write all this but <br />what I really want to say that I am reading all you posts and grabing into my heart all the things that will help me feel Heavenly Father's love. And there are many ideas and thoughts that are helping me. So many times you write what is hiding in my mind and heart. What I can't get out so I seem uneducated and simple. Just thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034004993661467682.post-83033483415109780092015-03-19T13:21:27.791-07:002015-03-19T13:21:27.791-07:00HI Marsha, Thank you and I'm excited for your ...HI Marsha, Thank you and I'm excited for your new calling. I'm fairly certain you were not put there because you did everything wrong the last two times. Most likely, it is because you did everything right! Trust me, having counselors who know their duty and who are willing and able to roll up their shirt sleeves and get to work is wonderful!! We should be careful about praying for three things specifically - faith, patience and humility. Those are attributes which can only be developed in the needing of them! haha :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466148727763217663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4034004993661467682.post-10097416657881856522015-03-19T08:01:44.584-07:002015-03-19T08:01:44.584-07:00Thank you for your comments on Relief Society. I ...Thank you for your comments on Relief Society. I just got called to be the 2nd counselor. This is my third round for being in the Relief Society Presidency (President, Secretary, and now 2nd Counselor). I guess I'll keep getting put in until I get it right - ha! Since retiring from my job, I had been praying to somehow come in contact with others, that I might be of service. You get what you pray for, right! And yes, it has been WAAAAAAAAAAAY to long since your last post. I truly enjoy following your blog....you always inspire me!Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249507310481979401noreply@blogger.com
