November is the wonderful month we are especially
Thankful! This month of “Thanksgiving” is a time we can focus on having an
attitude of gratitude, and hopefully prolong it as an “all-year” event! Our
lives change as we look for things to be grateful for. Truly, there is a silver
lining with every cloud if we but look for it. So it is with things this last
year have brought to us. COVID has helped many families find more togetherness
time, brought some simple pleasures back, turned more hearts to God, and made
us take a look at our preparedness status! We can use this crazy year as a learning
curve. Before the true “winter storms begin” – let us be sure “all is safely
gathered in.” Never put off for tomorrow what you can do today! There is no
time like the present! On a future day when another storm of life hits, you can
feel peace knowing you have prepared to care for your family, or you can feel
worry as you scramble to find the necessities of life. The choice is yours.
Instead of spending money on “extras” – buy some flour, rice, beans, and canned
goods. No money for extras? Ask the Lord to help you find the way, and see what
you can sacrifice to allow you to focus on preparedness. Where there is a will,
there IS a way! This Thanksgiving let us show the Lord our gratitude by keeping
his commandment to Be Prepared.
