This might be the most interesting
May we have enjoyed for a long time! Just like our beautiful flowers have
opened up and bloomed – this country of ours is beginning to “open” for a
hopeful economy boost and reduction in sickness. We find ourselves in a unique position
to learn from the past few months and make needed changes – instead of trying
to just “go back to normal.” If you found yourself in need of items – food or
supplies – will you make the effort to establish a better storage program? Or
will you just use up what you bought and go on with life? We must nurture a
storage program all year round, not only when we see a need. It is like our
gardens. We plant, water, and weed, and soon see the seeds grow and begin to
flourish. But we cannot stop there. We must continue to care for the garden to
reap a harvest. As the coming days grow warmer through May and into summer, let
us be sure our food and supply storage also grow and flourish. Let us “Be
Prepared” for the next time a surprise comes along! Let us make our way of life one of “Provident
Living” and find the peace and satisfaction self-sufficiency brings.
