Easter is celebrated in April this year, and brings
with it a wonderful time to reflect on new life. Just as the resurrection brings new life, so
does springtime bring new growth in the world around us. It is also a good time
to bring new life to our preparedness status. The old saying “April showers
brings May flowers” seems to be really the story of life. The efforts we put in
to anything will bring about the rewards later. It is the same with our gardens
and life – “what we sow we also reap”. We can take stock of our food storage, 72 hour
kits, provident living, and especially our spiritual preparedness. What “April
Showers” do we need to apply to these areas to be able to reap the “May
Flowers”? Let us set our priorities in
place and be sure to provide for our families. Small steps taken on a regular
basis toward being prepared will suddenly show up as full storage shelves,
emergency supplies in order, and testimonies strong and bright. Let us start raining down those “April
Showers” today!
