March 2024 Relief Society Newsletter

My sister attended the Portland Temple this week and saw the image of Jesus’ Second Coming by Harry Anderson in the Celestial Room.  She said this time, for the first time, it seemed to be that the Savior was offering her a hug.  She imagined that of all the good hugs she has had in her life, of course Jesus’ would be the best. We often look at the table prepared for the Sacrament.  We recognize the symbolism of the white cloth covering the symbols of the Savior’s body.  We reverently ponder how this funeral changed everything and fulfilled God’s Plan.

A Good NIght's Sleep

Grandma always taught me that "everything looks better in the morning".  I recently found out that her mom taught her that.   It seems that either I have new perspective after a good night's sleep.  Or just more strength to tackle it.  Or, sometimes, my problem just doesn't matter as much.   So three generations of your family lived by this tip.  At your time of life, sometimes you don't have the time for sleep.  But if you do, it's a good idea.  When life seems "too much", just go to bed and see what it looks like tomorrow.
