So it is now March! Last night, we celebrated our Relief Society's birthday with over 75 women and I am so grateful for EVERYONE who made it all so much fun. As I sit at my computer at 7AM this morning, I am amazed at how many people it takes to have a successful function in the church. From Karen Bateman (who is over these events and starts to work on the next one the minute the last one is finished) to all the members of the Relief Society Board to all the women who contributed food and their time to decorate and/clean up to the Priesthood who helped set up and clean up AND staff a nursery to all the women who called their friends and neighbors and sisters on their visiting teaching district and those who contributed their time and talents to sing/play piano or be part of the fun games - not to mention taking pictures and decorating bulletin boards - everyone helps make these events - MATTER.
90% of life is showing up and so many women in this ward did MUCH more than that!
I think Emma Smith was right when she said - "We are going to do something extraordinary." I am certain she was thinking of the women of the Dallas 4th Ward Relief Society!!!
And the month of March has just begun...can't wait for the rest of it.
