Visiting Teaching Message: 

Strengthening Families through Temporal Self-Reliance

Developing self-reliance-the ability to care for ourselves and our families-is the responsibility of every sister.  We become self-reliant as we learn to love work, as we seek inspiration to find the best ways to provide for ourselves, and as we work with family members to meet basic needs.

When we are self-reliant, we use our blessings and resources to prepare for and avoid problems.  Self-reliance, however, is enhanced as we pray for the courage to meet with faith the challenges that will surely come.  Self-reliance also enables us to keep our covenant to care for others.

Julie B. Beck, Relief Society General President, explains that "providing for ourselves and others is evidence that we are disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ."

From Our History:

Relief Society sisters have always participated in the work of saving souls temporally and spiritually.  Each week as the Female Relief Society of Nauvoo me, sisters reported on people in need.  This foundational work of relieving suffering has continued to be the work of Relief Society through the generations. 

Scriptures:

John 13:34-35; James 1:27; Mosiah 4:26; D&C 29:34-35; 38:30;44:6

What Can I Do?

1. How can I help my sisters and their families improve in temporal self-reliance?

2. How can I improve my own temporal self-reliance?
