We Are Beloved Spirit Daughters..........

We 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.

Sis Bonnie took our lesson this week based on the opening sentence of the Relief Society Declaration & also a section from the Relief Society Presidency Manual, "help the sister help herself". Getting back to basics by doing daily prayers, holding family home evening, scripture study, visiting teaching, attending Sacrament Meetings. Because we love the Lord, we will want to help ourselves by doing these things which the Lord wants us to do & it will help identify what's important & what's not. If you have a copy of the song, 'His Hands', do yourself a service and have a listen to it & feel of the Lords love; play it again if you have to.
Each of our Presidency bore testimonies of our Savior and his love as did Bronwen, Collette, Kym & Merle. Bec sang & played a beautiful song, 'I am of worth, infinite worth....I'll grow in his love.....my savior, redeemer loves me...I'll be all he wants me to be.......i will praise him.....I will serve him.......' another beautiful song which will motivate you also to love yourself & show the Lord how much you love him. So Sisters, be kind to yourselves, let your love shine & you will glow brighter than the brightest star at night.
We love you & appreciate what you do for one another xxxxoooo
