UNITED IN CHRIST

Unity begins when we choose to love, listen, and walk together with the Savior at the center.

As sisters in the Relief Society, we may come from different backgrounds and experiences, but we are united by our faith in Jesus Christ and our desire to follow His example. When we lift one another, make room for one another, and serve with love, we become stronger together.

“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” — John 13:35

Together in faith. Together in love. Together in Christ.

Serving Amid Life's Busyness

Life does not slow down to make room for our callings. There are families to care for, work to accomplish, responsibilities to fulfill, and countless demands on our time. Yet, faithful sisters continue to show up and serve.

Sister Rosemarie S. Marcella, First Counselor in the Stake Relief Society Presidency, recently shared how, amid business transactions, helping someone in need, and traveling from Cadiz to Bacolod to welcome her husband at the airport, she still found a way to join an Area Relief Society virtual training—attending from her car while waiting for her husband's flight.

Her experience reminds us that when we are willing to magnify our callings, the Lord helps us find a way. Busy schedules need not keep us from serving. Our callings are not burdens; they are blessings and opportunities to express our gratitude to the Lord.
"Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength." (Doctrine and Covenants 4:2)

Dear sisters, your efforts are never unnoticed. Every ministering visit, every lesson prepared, every prayer offered, and every act of love given amid life's busyness matters. The Lord sees you, and He knows your sacrifices.

Thank you for continually saying yes to serving Him and His children.

Life is going to be hard. You can do hard with Jesus, or you can do hard alone. When you do hard with Jesus Christ, the hard becomes holy.

The holy woman Hannah is a scriptural example of this principle.

Hannah went to the house of the Lord, where she wept. In humble prayer she expressed to God the bitterness of her soul and her sorrowful spirit because she was childless. It wasn’t murmuring. It was raw honesty with Him about her deep disappointment and grief. She “poured out [her] soul before the Lord" (1 Samuel 1:15), holding back nothing, even though He surely knew the depth of her pain.

And then Hannah vowed a vow—an expression of her willingness to consecrate that with which the Lord blessed her to His purposes. She boldly declared: “O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt … give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the Lord all the days of his life" (1 Samuel 1:11).

In time, Hannah was blessed with a son, Samuel. Once he was weaned, she honored her commitment by bringing the boy to the house of the Lord. She sang praises of thanksgiving to the Lord in prayer.

And then she left Samuel with Eli the priest, dedicating him wholly to God’s service. A child just weaned. Can you imagine it?

While she was later blessed with five more children, at the time she lent Samuel to the Lord, he was her only child. She could not have known that other children were coming. She hadn’t enjoyed all the tender moments that a mother longs for.

Each year when she and her husband came to the house of the Lord to make their yearly sacrifice, she brought a new little coat she had made for Samuel. What did she say when she saw him? How did her mother heart feel when she had to say goodbye all over again?

The scriptures do not describe her heartache. But I imagine it.

You see, Hannah was faithful, and life was still hard.

My Relief Society sisters include modern-day Hannahs, holy women who even in their adversity worship in the house of the Lord, fast, pour out their whole souls to the Lord in prayer, consecrate that with which the Lord has blessed them, keep the commitments they have made with Him, and trust in the Lord—His will for them and His timing.
