SunRiver 4th Ward: March 2025- Be Like Ruth

Sun River 4th Ward Relief Society

Birthday Party

Be Like Ruth

We met in the Relief Society room for a short but very spiritual program.
Yolie Klawitter led us off with a promise by Boyd K. Packer about the Relief Society organization:
'This great circle of sisters will be a protection for each of you and for your families. The Relief Society might be likened to a refuse- the place of safety and protection- the sanctuary of ancient times. You will be safe within it. It encircles each sister like a protecting wall.'

A question we could all ask ourselves is this: Who in my life needs me to be a Ruth today? A question like that can invite angels to attend us as we join them in their efforts to save, to comfort, give help and hope.

Bev Hunter - Cherish One Another

She shared with us a treasure.
Do you remember the old glass sacrament cups?

How many lips have touched this cup as they renewed their covenants?

We covenant to take upon us the name of Jesus Christ, to constantly remember Him and our commitments to Him, and promise to keep His commandments. In return, He promises that we will always have in spirit to be with us.

This cross represents our love for God.

The vertical line represents our love for others.

In the center of the cross is where we will find the most peace, most love, and be able to return to Him.

Janiel Carter - Watch Over One Another

A few things we can do to watch over one another:

encourage others in their challenges

Smile

Be courteous

volunteer to pick up groceries for a friend in need

give a ride to a friend going to a doctor appointment

go for a Swig!

be a listening ear

bake and share

take a meal to someone

be a good neighbor

and anything else you are inspired to do,

just act.

Sue Rapier- Comfort One Another

Sue told a story about her son tragically passing away. She wanted something to symbolize what her son was like. She thought of a lantern to put on his grave. The lanterns came in a 2 pack. One lantern was placed at his grave and the other her husband had placed in the yard where they could see their sons' light in the dark.

Whenever she and her husband heard of someone close who had lost a child they took them a lantern.

Sue's granddaughters' high school friend passed away. She asked if Sue had an extra lantern.

Sue gifted a lantern and wrote a letter to go with the lantern.

With permission from Sue, here are the words of the letter:

Dear Lori-

I was so sad to hear of Haley's passing. This is a very tender time for families.

This lantern is called Haley's light.

Each evening as dusk falls her light will begin to glow and it will remind you once again that she lives and her light is shining brightly.

I offer my love and support.

Better days will come.

Such a beautiful way to comfort someone.
