12 Hats of Womanhood Handout

1.. MAID: “Organize yourselves; prepare every needful thing; and establish a house, even a house of prayer, a house of fasting, a house of faith, a house of learning, a house of glory, a house of order, a house of God.” (D&C 88:119)
*”And let all things be done in cleanliness before me.” (D&C 42:41-42)
*”Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit.” (2 Corinthians 7:1)

2.. SEAMSTRESS: If you have sewed, you know that it is easier if you have a pattern to follow.
*”The gospel of Jesus Christ is God’s pattern for righteous living and eternal life. It makes possible goal setting and lofty priorities…there are patterns for al worthy things if we will search for them. “And behold, it must be done according to the pattern which I have given unto you.” (D&C 94:2)…In all our phases of life, it is expedient that we have correct patterns to follow… To gain exaltation and happy daily life, we must follow a pattern of righteousness. Our self esteem and success can best be measured by how we follow the patterns of life…Instead of our being commanded in all things, we are give a pattern in all things.” (Marvin J. Ashton, Ensign, Nov. 1990, 20-22)

3.. GARDENER: Planting and cultivating character.
*President David O. McKay often quoted C.A. Hall, “We sow our thoughts, and we reap our actions; we sow our actions and we reap our habits; we sow our habits and we reap our characters; we sow our characters and we reap our destiny.” *”We need to organize ourselves according to gospel principles and chart a right course as we journey toward eternal life…Character…is a reward derived from honest toil
in overcoming difficulties.”
(Good Habits Develop Good Character, Delbert L. Stapley, Ensign, Nov 1974).

4.. Graduation: “And as all have not faith, seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith.” (D&C 88:118)
*”We must go on growing. We must continually learn. It is a divinely given mandate that we go on adding to our knowledge.” (Stand a Little Taller, Jan 21)

*”There is a great potential within each of us to go on learning. Regardless of our age, unless there be a serious illness, we can ready, study, drink in the writings of wonderful men and women. It is never too late to learn. (Stand a Little Taller , Sept 25 ) *See also D&C 88 : 78-79

5.. Detective: As you seek for clues to live a happy life, you must seek for truths. If you search for clues in the scriptures you will find the answer to your prayers. *”Draw near unto me and I will draw near unto you; seek me diligently and ye shall find me; ask and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” (D&C 88:63)
*”Seek for the real things, not the artificial. Seek for the everlasting truths, not the passing whim. Seek for the eternal things of God, not for that which is here today, gone tomorrow.
Look to God and live, as the scripture enjoins us.” (Stand a Little Taller, July 10)

6.. Helmet: “Wherefore lift up your hearts and rejoice, and gird up you loins, and take upon you my whole armor, that ye may be able to withstand the evil day, having done all, that ye may be able to stand. Stand, therefore having your loins girt about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, which I have sent mine angels to commit unto you; Taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench the fiery darts of the wicked; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of my Spirit, which I will pour out upon you, and my word which I will reveal unto you, and be agreed as touching all things whatsoever ye ask of me, and be faithful until I come, and ye shall be caught up, that where I am ye shall be also. Amen.” (D&C 27:15-18)

7.. Athlete: If you just think about jogging for 20 minutes, it doesn’t produce the same results as if you actually get your shoes on and get out the door and jog for 20 minutes. You must get out and do it. The Nike theme is “Just do it”. The Kimball theme (As in Spencer W.) theme is “Do it.”
*”And see that all these things are done in wisdom and order; for it is not requisite that a man should run faster than he has strength. And again, it is expedient that he should be diligent, that thereby he might win the prize; therefore, all things must be done in order.” (Mosiah 4:27) . *”Do not run faster or labor more than you have strength and means provided…but be diligent unto the end.” (D&C 10:4).
*”Just take things one day at a time, otherwise you’ll be overwhelmed.” (Stand a Little Taller, July 12).

8.. Nurse: You are a nurse to heal wounds of the soul. AS you seek to heal others, you will magically become whole.
*”…Succor the weak, lift up the hands that hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees.” D&C 81:5)

*”We then that are strong out to bear the infirmities of the weak.” (Romans 15:1) *”Try to forget your own pain as you work to alleviate the pain of others.” (Stand a Little Taller, Feb 3)

*”The best medicine for despair is service.” (Stand a Little Taller, April 1)

9.. Chauffeur: Just as a chauffeur serves others by taking them places, we can serve others by helping them travel to higher places.

*”Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.”
(Matthew 24:26) *”One of the greatest challenges we face in our hurried, self-centered lives is to follow the counsel of the Master “to do it unto one of the least of these, my brethren.” Take the time today to reach out, to help someone less fortunate, to strengthen and lift a brother or sister in need.” (Stand a Little Taller, May 30)
*”If for nothing else than an expression of gratitude for the Savior’s resplendent gift, can we help and care for each other? Imagine the cumulative, magnifying, multiplying effect if each one of us helped strengthen just one or two others during the next twelve months. It would be impossible to measure the influence–for those we help, and for us as well.” (No Doubt About It, Sheri Dew, p 77)

10.. Party: “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” (Stand a Little Taller, Sept. 8) *”It is important that we all learn to laugh at ourselves. And important dimension in learning to laugh at ourselves lies in not being afraid to make a mistake…Balance in large measure is knowing
the things that can be changed, putting them in proper perspective, and recognizing the things that will not change. And balance also lies in attitude.
May our attitude be one of achieving balance and wisdom and understanding in all that we do.” (The Need for Balance in Our Lives, James E. Faust, Ensign, March 2000, 3-5)

11.. Cook: We must nourish ourselves physically and spiritually.

*”And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, shall receive health in their navel and marrow to their bones; and shall find wisdom and great treasures of knowledge, even hidden treasures.” (D&C 89:20)
*”And thus we see that the commandments of God must be fulfilled. And if it so be that the children of men keep the commandments of God he doth nourish them, and strengthen them.” (1 Nephi 17:3)

12.. Nightcap: “Be still, and know that I am God.” (D&C 101:16)
*”Our lives become extremely busy. We run from one thing to another. We wear ourselves out in thoughtless pursuit of goals which are largely ephemeral. We are entitled to spend some time with ourselves in introspection, in development, in thinking, meditating, pondering
things.” (Stand a Little Taller, Sept. 6)
“Remind yourself each night before retiring that you are not just a bundle of labels or roles…You are a child of God and a unique and beautiful woman with a separate destiny to fulfill.” (LDS Mother’s Almanac, Janene W. Baadsgaard, p. 450)

QUEEN: May you so live that you will be worthy to wear the crown of eternal life on your head. “If thou art faithful thou shalt have a crown of immortality and eternal life.” (D&C 81:4-6)
“Keep my commandments continually and a crown of righteousness thou shalt receive.” (D&C 25:15)

So, when it is time to choose which hats to wear throughout each day, remember this:

Have faith
Answers will come
To everything there is a season
Spirit will guide

Remember what President Hinckley said, “The course of our lives is seldom determined by great, life-altering decisions. Our direction is often set by the small, day-to-day choices that chart the track on which we run. This is the substance of our lives-making choices.” (Stand a Little Taller, Jan 12).

*****************************************************************************
This is the handout in it’s entirety. She presented the 12 hats (not in any
order, she actually started with the party hat first. Then she ended by putting on a crown and talking about that a little, but by that point we were all crying!!! She did a wonderful job of compiling and presenting this material. I hope this is helpful. It’s basically just an outline, more could be added to it, but I also think each hat could be presented and the quotes and scriptures read~ that would make a nice program too.

12 Hats of Womanhood

Compiled by Lynette Lewis,
Submitted (with permission) by Valerie Jackson

(This was printed on a “rainbow” paper)

Just as this paper has many colors, there are many hats of womanhood.

You can’t be everything to everyone all the time, But you can be something to someone some of the time. How do you choose?

President Gordon B. Hinckley: “The course of our lives is seldom determined by great, life-altering decision. Our direction is often set by the small, day-to-day choices that chart the track on which we run. This is the substance of our lives–making choices. (Stand a Little Taller, Jan 12)

“Time is really all we have. And every individual has an equal portion of it. The trick is to get more out of what is available to us.” (Stand a Little Taller, October 15)

How do you choose? You must live to be worthy of the Spirit!

[The following quotes regarding the Holy Ghost are found in the book, No Doubt About It, by Sheri Dew, p. 108-109]

Lorenzo Snow said that it is the “grand privilege of every Latter-day Saint…to have the manifestations of the spirit every day of our lives.” (in Conference Report, April 1899. 52).
His sister, Eliza, who was present at the founding of the Relief Society and served as its second general president, said this about the gift of the Holy Ghost: “Is it not our privilege to so live that we can have this constantly flowing into our souls?” (Women’s Exponent, 15 Sept. 1873, 63).

President Gordon B. Hinckley has said: “There is no greater blessing that can come into our lives than…the companionship of the Holy Spirit.” (Boston Massachusetts Regional Conference, 22 April 1995).

President Joseph F. Smith said that “it is the right and privilege of every man, every woman and every child who has reached the years of accountability, to enjoy the spirit of revelation, and to be possessed of the spirit of inspiration…It is the privilege of every individual member of the Church to have revelation for his own guidance, for the direction of his life and conduct.” (Gospel Doctrine, 34)

Children’s Class

Children’s Class

submitted by Alison B. in August, 2000

1st Counselor, Stake Relief Society Presidency, Denver, Colorado.

Something we were told at orientation in Salt Lake. We were all asking questions about how to make the children’s class work better. They took us to the handbook and told about the intent of this class for children.

They said it is not for all the children in the ward (Wow! Did this cause murmurs!) . Only for Single moms or sisters whose husbands are in school or at work. All other fathers were expected to stay home with their children and encourage their wives to attend Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment Meeting.

We have asked our Bishops to announce in Priesthood Meeting or Sacrament Meeting this very fact the week before Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment Meeting.

Hope this helps when we have wards with tons of children of all age groups and you have a hard time staffing the class. Maybe numbers will drop and more sisters will attend.

Relief Society Children’s Class Format

This is from my Feb-Mar 2000 newsletter - long

Purpose: To provide a safe, organized place where young children can develop an understanding and love for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, have positive experiences in a church setting, and grow feelings of self-worth while their mothers are attending Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment Meeting.

Sources: Scriptures, Primary 1 Manual and aids, and any nursery materials that have gone through correlation, such as previous nursery manuals.

Children: 18months-3 years usually. If class is routinely made up of children of all different ages, a separate class may be held of slightly older children. The oldest children may help as Children’s Class assistants.

A Suggested Format

Greeting and Playtime……………………..30 minutes

Teaching time…………………………………15 minutes

Artistic time…………………………………….20 minutes

Snack time……………………………………..20 minutes

Music time……………………………………..15 minutes

Playtime…………………………………………20 minutes

Closing and cleanup time…………………Rest of time

As you can see, this is a 2-plus hour block of time. The Children’s Class should also start and end with prayer. It is suggested that Children’s Class assistants attend 15 minutes before Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment Meeting starts and 15 minutes after.

The counselor over Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment oversees the children’s class leader and assistants. (After the Home, Family, and Personal Enrichment leader, this is the person I would work on calling. On that night-she is a lifesaver!)

Food: Snacks are needed during class time because this is such a large stretch of time for small children. This is part of the RS budget, although mothers may take turns bringing food for all children.

Assistants: May consist of sisters, YW, older Primary age children. If other than a sister, must have stake president approval.

Celebrating Christmas

We are having a cozy evening in front of the fireplace (fake). We are doing a dramatic reading of The Modern Magi by Carol Lynn Pearson, ISBN# 1-882723-21-X. I would recommend this story to any who haven’t read it. We read it to our family yearly. Keep the tissue box handy. We will have pauses during the story for singing Christmas carols. We will also have our secret sister reveling. Should be a good night. (I hope).
Take care and remember the reason for the season.

Lisa

Easy idea for a gift for Dec. Enrichment

We are focusing our Dec. enrichment program on service. We made the easiest gifts to go along with this. We got a 1 1/2 in solid wood block (if there is anyone in your ward who gets craft things wholesale, these are very inexpensive). Then, we painted them with ordinary craft paint — solid color of either all red, blue, green. Then, 15 minutes later they were dry, and we tied 1/8 inch ribbon in differing colors to make them look like presents. We had also typed up a scripture about service (Mos 2:17) onto cardstock and cut them out like a card and put a hole in them and tied them onto the ribbon on the present. They turned out great!

At Enrichment, we are going to challenged everyone there to take it home and do an anonymous act of service for their families over the next 24 hours. Then, they are to leave the present at the site of service. The recipient then has 24 hours to turn around and do an act of service for someone else in the family, leaving the present as well, and have the present keep going up till Christmas. If they are single or in a circumstance where they can’t physically leave the present, they can put it on their windowsill as a reminder to do an extra act of service (more than what they would typically do for someone) each day until Christmas.

We hope it will be great — the presents were all done for about $40 for 100 sisters!

Jennie in Sacramento

In our ward, we keep track of things that come out of Enrichment meetings (Things like good stories, quotes from leaders and lessons, recipes, and patterns for things we made over the year, handouts etc. I keep them all on a disc and by December we have a good collection of hints, ideas, and stories for the sisters to enjoy. In December we make a booklet for the sisters. We entitled it “From the Kitchens and Hearts of the Enrichment Committee” They loved it and are looking forward to the one for this year.

LA from LA

We are going to have a lesson about the gifts we can give the Savior in the Relief Society room and at that time we will hand out slips of paper for the sisters to write their gift on.

We will then go to the Primary room which will be decorated with a large manger. Each sister will be asked to remove their shoes and given a shawl to wear to set the mood for the evening. As they enter the Primary room they will be given a bundle of raffia to place in the manger and there will be a gift box for them to put their anonymous gift to the Savior.

The food we will be serving will be foods that the Savior would have eaten while He was on the earth. It will be placed on small tables throughout the room so the sisters can eat while they watch the presentation.

1. The Cradle Story
2. A song Breath of Heaven
3. A song The Inn Keeper - Let Him in
4. More music I was not His Father - He was Mine

There will be a different area of the room lit while each presentation is being made.

After this we will pass the gift box around and each sister will read a gift to the Savior that was written.

As the sisters leave we will give them a white stocking to hang on their tree to put their present to the Savior for 2005. We may make them mantle size.

About the food, we have thought of grape juice to drink, figs, dates, some kind of bread and honey, but what else.

-Jeannie Weber

We are having a FHE idea that is in the Dec. 2004 Ensign. “Five True Gifts” Based on an article on page 65.

We will then watch an old church film called “Christmas Snows, Christmas Winds. ” It really gets you in the mood for Christmas and brings back memories of childhoods past. Plus teaches a good lesson.

As sister is going to teach us how to make beautiful bows.

Our dinner will be Hawaiian Haystacks, Cottage Cheese and Lime Jell-O Salad, Croissants.

-Carol in NC

We have the best ward in the Church! Seriously, though, a couple of years ago we started having a Christmas “Service Round Robin”, where each sister bring a gifts of her time (such as a card specifying dinner, a FHE treat, snowplowing a driveway, etc.) or something she made (such as a knitted scarf). All of the gifts go under a tree.
We give each sister a number, then the sister with the number 1 picks a gift from under the tree, opens it, and then puts it on the table. After that, that gift is up for grabs by any of the sisters whose numbers follow. After the gift has been taken three times, it can’t be “stolen” again!. This has been such a success.
Everyone remembers what they received each year, we laugh until we cry at all of the “taking”, and the really amazing part is the realization of all of the talent that exists in the ward! It really gives us an appreciation for our sisters, not to mention an opportunity for true service to one another. Nobody wants to do anything else for our December Enrichment Night now!

We had a really great Christmas HFPE! we did a ornament exchange. Then had
classes….

#1 Holiday Planning. Our RS Pres is a great Holiday Planner, she has a full 8 week plan of things she has to do, when she needs to do them. It was great!

#2 Easy Ornaments to make with your kids! We had someone demonstrate some great ornaments to make with your kids, stained glass ornaments using Jolly Ranchers, Macaroni Angels, Foamie Ornaments, Ornaments using OJ lids etc…

#3 Keeping our Family Centered on Christ at Christmas

It turned out really well! Everyone seemed to love the classes! If I had to do it again, I would do it in a Round Robin Style so everyone could go to all classes!

Contributed by: Sherri in TX

We went Christmas Caroling to the less active Sisters in our Ward, and had made a very cute clay pot Nativity that we gave to each of the Sisters that we Caroled to. The clay pots were very easy to make.

Homemaking Songs

JUNK at HOME
(tune “Love At Home”)
There are knick-knacks all around when there’s
Junk at home.  Many things that can’t be found
When there’s junk at home.  Drawers and closets
will not close, there are runs in all my hose.
Certain items decompose, in the junk at home

Junk at home, junk at home
Many items decompose
In the junk at home.

In the cottage there’s no room, cause there’s
Junk at home.  Living space is all consumed,
With the junk at home.  In the garage the car
Won’t go, `cause of all the overflow.  Oh it’s
Hard for me to throw away the junk at home.

Junk at home, junk at home
Oh it’s hard for me to throw
Away the junk at home

Kindly will the family be, when no junk’s at
Home.  When the floor they’ll finally see,
Cause no junks at home.  From the neighbors
You won’t hide, you will welcome them inside.
And you’ll finally say with pride…there’s
No junk at home

De-junked home, de-junked home.
You can finally say with pride
THERE’S NO JUNK AT HOME

I wish I knew who to give credit to for these words but I have no
idea who wrote them.
