Easter is almost here, and spring has sprung! How fitting that Easter comes in the spring, since both bring the promise of new life. Blossoms turn to tiny fruit, leaves appear and will soon provide shade, and the seeds in the garden perform their annual miracle and begin to grow. Let’s remember to express gratitude to the Lord for the blessings of spring. As another growing season commences, be sure to take stock of where you are in your preparedness, and where you would like to be. Self Sufficiency brings with it a great feeling of peace. Perhaps this spring we can all “spring” into action those wishes and dreams of being a little more prepared.
