November brings with it the Thanksgiving season. What a wonderful time to reflect on the many things we have to be thankful for. Remember to also be thankful for your preparedness! Being able to stock our shelves and prepare for the coming year gives us much to be grateful for. What a feeling of peace to know you have followed the prophet to “Be Prepared”, but also to know that your family will be taken care of in times of trouble. If you are not as prepared as you want to be, do not give up. Keep adding a little here and there. Remember, “Rome wasn’t built in a day” either. Just like the gospel, our preparedness is established “line upon line, precept on precept.” Be thankful for what we do have! As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “This time, like all times, is a very good one if we but know what to do with it.”
