Harrisville Stake Relief Society Women's Conference



Today our stake had it's annual Women's conference I got to spend the day with my step mom Carol. It was based on 25 years in the making Past, Present, Future.

Our Past speaker was Sister Paula Hansen-She was amazing she told of her experiences of loosing her spouse of 25 years and how hard and trying it was but her faith in keeping a journal was such a choice experience to look back and see the trying times and be able to rise above them. And to always stay close to our Heavenly Father.

Our Present Speaker was Sister Linda Gubler- She was so fun and happy. She spoke about Today is a Gift...Choose to open it and enjoy it.

Everyday is a special Occasion!

First announce themselves.. Last don't

No man sinks under the burden of the day. It is only when we ass yesterday's quilt to tomorrow's anxiety that our legs buckle and our backs break. How delightfully easy it is to live one day at a time -Corrie Ten Boom

We are not women of the world, we are women of God, which means that we no longer have the luxury of spending our energy on anything that doesn't lead us and our families to Christ

-Sheri Dew

Peace and inter happiness in life can only be achieved when we're secure with who we are...not when we are trying to meet the world's shifting values of what we ought to be.

Our Future Speaker Bro. Greg Thorpe is told us we need to think of ourselves and love yourself as you love your neighbors. We need to have a strong testimony and always feel the spirit that the Lord has offered us.

We were able to laugh, cry and feel the spirit it was truly a Gift that why they call it the Present!

Thanks Carol for the amazing day! Love ya

I am so sad I missed this. Greg Thorpe was my bishop before me and Jesse got married. He is such a great guy. All the talks sound so wonderful. Maybe next time things will work out and I can attend.
