We had beautiful muscial numbers by a quartet of Brandon W., Erik J., Todd M., and Dave D. singing "There is a Green Hill Far Away" and by Lanae S. accompanied by her husband Daniel with "Savior Redeemer of My Soul".
Using President Henry B. Eyring's "To My Grandchildren" talk from the October 2013 General Conference, the Relief Society Presidency delivered messages about the atonement in their lives.
- Sue A. spoke about how through parenthood she has learned more from the Savior, of forgiveness, of patience. He doesn't hold grudges and forgives her mistakes she makes as a mother. In the Family Circus cartoon, it was noted in Grandma Quotes: The road to heaven allows u-turns. She shares her deep love for her children with them so that they know and she feels how much she is loved by Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.
- Kim H. shared that she doesn't have the ah-ha moments that some report of spiritual learning, she has a lot of faith in the principles and applies them. She has always felt God's love for her and through repentance has grown in her understanding of what the Atonement means and leads her to a deeper love of the The Lord.
- Catherine B.'s thoughts centered around her struggle in mothering, she has felt the transformative power of the atonement bring joy that has empowered her abilities. In choosing a picture of Christ for her home, she values one of Him looking at a child and learns to love as He does.
Each of you are a special and vital part of our Relief Society and we cherish knowing and serving you!
Thank you to everyone who attended and for those who helped make the meeting extra special.
A special thank you to the men and youth that filled in for our sisters in their teaching roles for this special meeting.
