"Sisters, we are going to do something extraordinary. We expect pressing calls, grand occasions; each member should be ambitious to do good. The Lord has said, "When you are in the service of your fellow beings, you are only in the service of your God."
If you didn't make it out to The Relief Society birthday celebration, I highly suggest you take just 3 minutes to click on the above link. It it a short video about the vital role of us sisters and this wonderful organization we are so blessed to be a part of.
The night included a wonderful meal and delicious cake. It also brought a rare moment to sit and enjoy each others company, which is sometimes a rarity. My favorite was hearing the chatter of sisters discussing the "Act of Kindness" they would be giving/receiving. Each member wrote down an act of kindness they were willing to do for someone else. We played a game and ended up with a card other than our own. I know I was pleased to receive a carrot fruit smoothie at my door the following morning. I imagine there were a lot of happy smiles across Day Break the last couple of weeks as service was being rendered. It helped me realize that sometimes an act of kindness doesn't have to be large or extravagant, but simply something from the heart.
The Relief Society is a wonderful organization, truly a gift from our Heavenly Father. I look forward to many more "Extraordinary" activities and memories together as sisters.
