Spring
has sprung! Blossoms have popped, and the weather is unpredictable. It seems
like we go from summer to winter to spring all within days. The winds may howl or
the sun brings beads of sweat. But that is what springtime is. It is a season
that reminds us of how unpredictable life can be - and how important it is that
we are prepared for whatever storms may appear! “If ye are prepared ye shall
not fear” is the motto that should guide our endeavors for family preparedness.
Let us plant our gardens, stock our shelves, and be ready for these days that
are OUR days (Helaman 7:7-9) If we are
prepared, it will not matter if the day is a lamb or a lion – we will be ready
for whatever the “season” of these “last days” may bring!
