Good Things to Come

September Presidency Message

Dear Sisters,

This month we are focusing on the Christlike

Attribute of “Virtue.” Virtue means purity. 

It begins in the heart and in the mind.  “It

is a pattern of thought and behavior based on

High moral standards.” A core element of virtue,

one that is often ignored by the world, is chastity.

Virtue and chastity are inseparably connected.

Some have suggested that virtue is primarily for women,

but it is not gender based.  The Latin root word for virtue

is virtus, which means “strength.”  Thus virtue applies not

just to women but to all.  In order to remain virtuous,

we need each other.  We will all need to help each other,

and if one of us falls or fails, we can help him or her “return”

The Book of Mormon relates the story of two thousand

young heroes whose virtue and purity gave them the

strength to defend their parents’ covenants and their

Families’ faith (Alma 56-58).  Their virtue and

commitment to be true at all times changed the world!

As we run life’s race, it is virtue, meaning purity and

power, that will sustain us through the long miles.

May we all stand for virtue in a world that is so rapidly

departing from it as our Heavenly Father would want us to do.

Love,

Dantzel, Gaylene, Cindy, Tracey

August Presidency Message

Dear Sisters,

This month we are focusing on the Christlike attribute of "Humility."  To be humble is to recognize gratefully our dependence on the Lord--to understand that we have constant need for His support.  Humility is an acknowledgment that our talents and abilities are gifts from God.  It is not a sign of weakness, timidity, or fear; it is an indication that we know where our true strength lies.  We can be both humble and fearless.  We can be both humble and courageous.  In D&C 112:10 it says, "Be thou humble; and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers."  May we ever be humble and worthy of our Heavenly Father's choicest blessings.

Love,

Dantzel, Gaylene, Cindy and Tracey

Presidency Message

In the Morgan 5th Ward Relief Society this year our first lesson of the month focuses on the attributes of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  For the month of July the attribute is diligence.  What is diligence?  The dictionary defines it as “constant and earnest effort to accomplish what is undertaken.”  It is impossible to view diligence without seeing work.  The two go hand in hand.  If we are striving to follow the Savior, we are putting forth steady, consistent, earnest, and energetic effort to do His work. 
In reflecting upon the freedoms that we are blessed to enjoy in this country, the month of July gives us a special opportunity to ponder and express gratitude for the men and women who labor with diligence to preserve those freedoms that we celebrate as we gather with our families to attend parades and celebrations.  May we take the time to sincerely thank our Father in Heaven and thank those who serve and sacrifice for their understanding of diligence and their willingness to exercise it daily in our behalf.
Love,

Dantzel, Gaylene, Cindy and Tracey
