Anyone have a good idea for me, maybe a lesson you really enjoyed or something you would want to hear about??? I have no idea what I should talk about, Please help me and preferably it is a topic that won't make my tears start to flow! Let me know if anyone has any ideas! Thanks.

How about Love? It is the month of Love afterall...

A few years ago I was asked to speak on Valentine's Day and the topic was Love. It turned out to be a fun topic to read about!

I agree. Being Feb and all. Love at Home may be good too. Anything to do with love.

Lisa I am so sorry that you have to teach in relief society. That is my biggest fear! I know you are going to do great!

This past Sunday our Young women's Presidency talked in sacrament meeting. It was one of the best meetings in a long time. They shared lots of personal experiences. They talked about looking for the good in others. They talked about accepting others for who they are and not passing judgements on others because we don't ever really know what someone else is going through. They talked about not gossiping even though something might be true that is being gossiped about. A lot of times we justify ourselves for gossiping by saying "... it's not gossip because it is true". That is a false statement. Even if it is true it is still gossip. Most of the time gossip is inaccurate and very shortsighted. They also talked about giving others true and meaningful compliments. They said that if you can't think of an honest compliment, then don't give one at that time and go home and pray to see the good in that person so that next time you will be able to. Especially if there is someone that we may not have the kindest thoughts or feeling for. They suggested that if we make it a matter of prayer then those unkind feelings can change and we will change and become better people in the process. I could go on and on, it was really a great meeting with a good message. I think as women we get caught up in that kind of stuff and it is a good reminder that we can rise above that and not have the negativity in our lives. That is my two cents worth. Good luck!!

I did a lesson a few years ago in relief society during February. I had a whole jar full of the red and sliver kisses. I talked about chocolate and chemically what chocolate does to us. You can find that info online. But it is pretty good stuff that it does to us. Then we talked about the worth of women. That we don't value ourselves enough. Talked about ways to build ourselves and others up. If the sisters participated they got a chocolate because it would make them feel good. To participate and it made them feel good because it was chocolate. I do remember it being a real fun lesson and the sisters were laughing and enjoying themselves by the end.

Food Storage. That one will for sure not make you cry. You might even get lucky and some of the sisters might fall asleep. You can also tie it to "a way to a mans heart is through his stomach." It is a huge stretch I know, but all I can think is that I feel so bad you have to teach RS. Teaching gospel doctrine is worse. Just keep repeating that to yourself.
