I feel like the worldly idea that women need to take care of themselves first and foremost has really taken a hold of LDS women. Enrichment always seems to be about something silly and fluffy, not spiritually uplifting, or service focused, or skills teaching. And then we wonder why no one wants to come to meetings...<br /><br />I was really disappointed to realize that our ward doesn't do compassionate service for pregnant or new mothers. No meals rota. What!?<br /><br />Women who do compassionate service have to take TIME to do it-time away from hobbies, projects, causes, jobs, volunteer work etc. It just seems so few of us are willing to do that now. When I was a girl my image of RS was a group of sisters that took care of the needs of those in the ward. My mom was constantly baking and delivery casseroles. Now as a woman myself I'm saddened to never see my ward participate at that level. Someone has to be in SERIOUS need before we help (like having major surgery and no husband-if she was just having major surgery that wouldn't be good enough if she had a husband).<br /><br />Sorry for the long comment, I have been thinking about this a lot. I love the idea of a cookbook on compassionate service meals-easy, cheap, fast-it would make service that much easier! Great idea!Curlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06176883112936068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-7605200182105882812011-02-07T13:34:30.906-05:002011-02-07T13:34:30.906-05:00Okay, LOVE the cookbook.

I've recently started reading "Women of Covenant, The Story of Relief Society" I'm only in the first section where the authors discuss the Relief Society in the embryonic days of the organization. I'm so motivated by the stories of compassionate service and "get it done" attitude the sisters had in those early days.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13394967015021716717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-11567236664133807482011-02-05T10:04:30.284-05:002011-02-05T10:04:30.284-05:00sorry to hear you are sick...but don't let me ...sorry to hear you are sick...but don't let me hear you putting yourself down again about being "unworthy and selfish" as your blog and activities testify otherwise...so there.

AllisonK's post on Monday would be a great name for the book, maybe Allison will let you use it! ;)<br /><br />I LOVE this post, it made me cry, because of all the love. The things your Mom and friend did for you are simple, but meant so much. I could definitely feel that in your post. <br /><br />Our furnace is broken right now, it will be fixed tomorrow (YAY!!) but, it's been completely dead for 2 days now, and before that it was off and on since Christmas! I put a quick message on facebook about space heaters and within 30 minutes or so I had FIVE! I responded saying thank you and that we were good. Well, 2 more neighbors showed up with even more space heaters, it was so nice to feel their love! <br /><br />Thanks again!Codihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15976614586200510142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9047346872529008758.post-41954473885424485892011-02-04T18:27:28.025-05:002011-02-04T18:27:28.025-05:00You were reading my mind or I was reading yours.

I was just taking a photo for a post I wrote yesterday to publish on Monday (nothing like making things more confusing) titled "love in collapsible tupperware." Of course you have expressed it more eloquently. Love the cookbook!
