May I share with you what I have been doing with my time for the last few months?
It all came together last week.
AHhhh.
It was perfectly wonderful.
Beautiful.
Inspiring.
We celebrated the 170th birthday of the Relief Society.

Past stake Relief Society Presidents were honored.

A presentation was given using Daughters in My Kingdom.

Beautiful soloists added to the
A video depicting the history of Relief Society interwoven with our local history was shown.

Displays were made by each ward of items reflecting the old adage,

 "Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do or Do without."

 There were some very clever ideas

We had birthday cake.

The General Relief Society President Julie B. Beck has explained why knowing our history is important.
"Our presidency has prayed, fasted, pondered, and counseled with prophets, seers, and revelators to learn what God would have us do to help His daughters be strong in the face of “the calamity which should come upon the inhabitants of the earth.” An answer has come that the sisters of the Church should know and learn from the history of Relief Society. Understanding the history of Relief Society strengthens the foundational identity and worth of faithful women."

This evening was dedicated to strengthen women through the history of Relief Society.  We were generously blessed with the Holy Ghost this evening.  His power was a gift to those in attendance.  It was wonderful to experience.

Now, I feel like a regular person.  I can Blog ( missed this) , Pinterest, Watercolor, and maybe garden soon!
