Good Morning Sisters!
Christmas has come and gone. The gifts have been opened and all of the food eaten. The tree may still be up and there may still be some festivities to be enjoyed. We hope that your holiday season has been all that you wanted it to be.
This week we are hoping to share a message of love. Love is a verb. We cannot hope to accomplish anything in our marriages, families, and even relationships with friends if we do not come to this understanding.
In the message this week Elder Holland asks us how we love. He reiterates that it was Christ who taught us how to love. If we will but follow the example of Christ we will become experts in loving others.

Wonderful Wednesday: A Light Unto All
Good Morning Sisters!!
Christmas Eve is only 2 days away! Christmas is finally upon us.
Each week we have tried to help you maintain the true meaning of Christmas with some wonderful messages from the church. It is our sincere hope that this has helped your Christmas season to be filled with more love and joy for the true purpose of Christmas.
Today's message follows the same pattern. It is a message about Christmas and the birth of our Savior. This message reads from the 2nd chapter of Luke. We would encourage each of you to read this same chapter with your families at some point during the Christmas holiday. We believe that doing so will help each member of your family focus on the real reason for the day and all the celebrations.
Our Savior was born in a humble stable. He came to this earth to live and die for each of us. He was resurrected and atoned for each and every one of us. We pray that each of you may come to know of this truth having perfect faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Wonderful Wednesday: The Spirit of Christ
Good Morning Sisters!
We are only a little more than a week away from Christmas!
We hope you have been able to remember our message last week about maintaining the true spirit of Christmas and not becoming a grinch. With so little time left until Christmas Day the normal stresses of being prepared are upon us. Hopefully this short video will give you a boost and help to lighten your load.
Remember, charity never faileth.

Wonderful Wednesday: From the Mouth of a Child
Good Morning Sisters!
December has just arrived, but the Christmas season is already in full swing! The calendar is full of events, gifts are waiting to be wrapped and purchased, carols are being sung, and Santa Claus is at the mall!
Among all of these tell-tell signs that the season of giving has begun, none reference the true meaning of Christmas. Each of the things listed are wonderful and help to make Christmas time wonderful. But it is our hope that each of you will be able to take pause and remember the words of President Utchdorf just this past Sunday and not become overwhelmed with the secular aspect of Christmas.
Dr Seuss left us some wise words we should remember throughout this Christmas season: "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!"

Wonderful Wednesday: You Know Enough
Good Morning Sisters!
A new month is upon us! November brings with it the beginning of the holiday season. We hope that as all of the many festivities begin to take place the true meaning of the season will remain with each of you.
Studying the gospel can be overwhelming and discouraging. While you study you'll come up with questions and the many questions of why and how will come to your mind. There are so many things that we don't yet understand. It is our hope that each of you will remember that having all the answers isn't necessary. As long as we are obeying the commandments and keeping ourselves worthy of the temple, we are doing enough.
Questions will always come up and in this life we won't ever get all the answers. This can be discouraging. Just remember that you know enough.

Wonderful Wednesday: Patience
Good Morning Sisters!!
We hope that this Wonderful Wednesday Message finds you in good spirits this Thursday morning! We apologize for making you wait a whole extra day to receive a spiritual boost.
Hopefully this weeks message about patience will be more fitting. As each day comes and goes we find ourselves in situations that require a great deal of patience on our part or on the part of those around us. Of all the things that we are here to perfect, patience is probably one of the greatest. How many things in our lives would run more smoothly if we had an extra teaspoon of patience? Truly patience is one of the greatest attributes a person can have and perfect.
We hope you all find President Utchdorf's message uplifting. Exercise faith in the Savior, have patience, and never give up.

Wonderful Wednesday: Why We Build Temples
Good Morning Sisters!
On this beautiful Wednesday morning we wanted to share another message with you. As temples are the topic of the Ensign, and our most recent Wonderful Wednesday message, it seemed appropriate to share this additional video on temples.
We must not only understand the blessings of the temple but the reasons why we as a church do so much to build them. If we do not know and appreciate the reasons for the existence of the temple, it is impossible for us to fully understand what it is that is so important about these sacred buildings.
This message brings information and testimony from our church leaders and also some insightful and heartwarming messages from leaders who are not of our faith.
We hope you will enjoy this message and try to come to a deeper understanding of the purpose behind our temple building.

Wonderful Wednesday: Temples
Sisters:
On this beautiful Wednesday morning we wanted to share a little message with you.
Wednesday is the halfway point of our week. Usually it seems to be the day when we realize the that week is almost over and we can either finish out strongly or endure until we meet again on Sunday.
As this month's Ensign is based upon Temples, and since we are halfway through the month October (crazy!!), this message seemed fitting. We hope it will buoy your spirits until we can refil our cups together on Sunday. Please click the link below to see the video :)

Welcome Sisters!!
Welcome to our new ward Relief Society Blog! This blog will become the primary place for us to share news/events, uplifting messages, and information about new sisters other than our Sunday meetings. We will be regularly adding new posts of upcoming events, new move ins, group activities, questions we have for you as a group, and uplifting messages.
We hope to make this blog a way for we as sisters to communicate throughout the week. Since we only meet once a week on Sundays we felt it was necessary to help us grow closer to have another medium of contact with you. We are so excited to begin this blog and create a place for our community of sisters to grow. We have many ideas of ways we can use this blog to bring us closer together and help to keep us informed.
If you have anything you would like to post or an idea of something you would like to see appear regularly on our blog please feel free to email us at kennesawwardrs@gmail.com. We can't wait to get started!
With love,
