President Monson has repeatedly expressed that even in our busy,
bustling lives,
“it’s the service that counts.” And no one knows that
better than the quiet, humble women of the Relief Society. Working
together, faithful women form a sisterhood of service, selflessness, and
ultimately strength to share with each other and the entire world.

About the Author: Diony George is a wife, mother of seven, and grandmother of
two originally from Alaska, currently living in Utah. She now considers
herself a true city girl at heart and will readily admit she doesn't
miss the giant mosquitoes or the cold and long, dark winters way up
North, but absolutely misses the fresh seafood. When she's not
imagining a new plot-line or typing frantically away at her computer,
she loves to spend time with her family, read (her favorite genre is
romantic suspense) travel, cook or bake something delicious, sew, or
work on crafts.
The best advice she would give on how to become a better writer is to read and write everyday!
Kay's Kritique: Sisterhood of Strength is a wonderful and inspiring book, sharing true stories showing women at their best -- their true natures shining through. I was especially touched by the poem at the beginning of the book which I could apply to not only my sisters in Relief Society but also my 5 real life sisters that I grew up with. Here the full picture you see on the left - me with 3 of my 5 sisters.
God Gave Me a Sister
When God sent me down to earth,
He knew how hard it would be.
He knew I’d need someone to love and understand me.
So God gave me a sister,
a sister as a friend. A special soul who’d love me and
help me endure to the end.
God knew I would grow weary,
He knew the days would be long. He knew the trials would
come often, He knew I’d have to be strong;
God knew I would have problems,
He knew I’d need a helping hand. He knew I would want
someone
to listen with her heart and understand.
When sisters truly love each other, their spirits often unite
with the added strength of a sister,
it’s easier to do what’s right. That’s why God gave us all sisters,
Sisters as our friends.
Special souls who love us and help us endure to the end.
Oh God, help us to be sisters,
Sisters as well as friends,
Special souls loving and helping others endure to the end.
