Summer is here
and with it come the many activities we love as well as a great time for adding
to our preparedness. We can freeze or bottle the produce from our gardens and
orchards, take advantage of some camping to check our emergency supplies, (see
Disaster Prep), or use the lazy days of summer to learn something new (see
“Preparedness – Education Style”). June is a great month to put the long
daylight hours to good use and extend the preparedness we have already
established. Every month we need to do an assessment of what we have and need and
where we are going with our preparedness plans. Brushing up on plans, adding
monthly to the storage shelves, and being aware of our family needs help us
make preparedness a way of life. If preparedness is a way of life, it will not
be difficult to respond to whatever life will throw at us. ”Where preparations
are being made there will be little difficulty, but where no preparation has
been made, suffering and difficulties will come.” (Welfare Ag. Conference
1970). May we all be blessed with little difficulty. Remember the 6 P’s: ”Proper Prior Planning Prevents Poor Performance.”
