She made him promise that he would light the lamp, and she promised to have the sisters visit him. As Relief Society sisters we can bring light into the lives of those we serve along with the loaves of bread we bake and the casseroles we share. We can give hope, we can lift, and we can inspire. We can teach of Christ and help others find peace and comfort within His light. As women, we have natural tendencies to love and nourish.
Women teach children, bolster friends, encourage husbands, and cheer on the disheartened.
Women are givers of life and nurturers of the living. Every one of us has something to give, something to share, and someone to serve. The fourth objective of Relief Society is to strengthen and protect families. It is my sincere belief that the most powerful protection against the deteriorating condition of the family is a faithful, righteous mother. No other can adequately take your place.
