May 2013 Newsletter

Hi Sisters,

The May newsletter is here and now available online. You can view it by following the link at the bottom of this post. Here's some excerpts from the newsletter.

Presidency Message
Dear Sisters,

As you may be aware by now, our Chapel Hill Relief Society theme for 2013 is “Uplift our Sisters”. Nearly every day and certainly every Sunday, I am reminded of Heavenly Father’s great love for each of you.

I feel prompted to emphasize this love that He has for you. Please read with me some reminders from the scriptures and from our Latter-day prophets and apostles of the love felt for you.

“No matter how dark your days may seem, no matter how insignificant you may feel, no matter how overshadowed you think you may be, your Heavenly Father has not forgotten you. In fact, He loves you, with an infinite love.”1

“As daughters of God we are each unique and different in our circumstances and experiences. And yet our part matters—because we matter. Our daily contributions of nurturing, teaching, and caring for others may seem mundane, diminished, difficult, and de-meaning at times, and yet as we remember that first line in the Young Women theme—“We are daughters of our Heavenly Father, who loves us”—it will make all the difference in our relationships and our responses.”2

Sisters, I know that God loves you. He is aware of your struggles, worries, and circumstances. Please know that I feel His love for you every day and am grateful for the opportunity to get to know each of you a little better so perhaps I may share His love with you too. Please remember, remember that He loves you so very much!

Love, Sister Beyeler

May Theme
“The most treasured and sacred moments of our lives are those filled with the spirit of love. The greater the measure of our love, the greater is our joy. In the end, the development of such love is the true measure of success in life.” Joseph B. Wirthlin

Temple Thoughts
"In addition to temples, surely another holy place on earth ought to be our homes. The feelings of holiness in my home prepared me for feelings of holiness in the temple." James E. Faust

Provident Living Message
“But remember, you are interested in education, not just for mortal life but for eternal life. When you see that reality clearly with spiritual sight, you will put spiritual learning first and yet not slight the secular learning. In fact, you will work harder at your secular learning than you would without that spiritual vision.” Henry B. Eyring
