When Sharon Eubank was called to
the Relief Society General Presidency, she was overwhelmed with feelings of
inadequacy. How could she do her job, care for her family, and fill this new calling?
She was already REALLY tired. She found her answer in notes she’d scribbled as
Julie Beck spoke: “When you are with people, remember they are each filled with
troubles. Lift them to a higher plane. People come to be lifted. Build. Bring
comfort from the Spirit. Don’t bring new programs or duties. People need
lifting. Remember to keep your own kingdom intact. This is your first
stewardship—mother and father, brothers and sisters, children, husband,
friends. These are eternal and they are given to you first. When you can’t give
more, when you’ve gone beyond your ability to give, then sit still. Call on the
Holy Ghost and angels to come to you. Be still and get full.”
