November is the “Thankful” month! Beautiful fall days still
abound, with a few hints of winter dispersed throughout. Of course the annual Thanksgiving
Dinner – complete with family and fun – is looked forward to. Many families
will trek “over the river and through the woods” to grandmother’s house! As we
gather, let us remember that we live in a world with so much to be thankful
for! Even as the world around us seems to be disintegrating, there are many
aspects of these “last days” to fill us with gratitude. One way we can show our
gratitude is by keeping the commandments! At this “end of harvest” time of year
– we can focus on keeping the commandment to Be Prepared. Hopefully your
storage shelves are full of items to make a Thanksgiving dinner. If they are
not, let that be a goal. Establish a preparedness life – a life of provident
living – where you have prepared “Every Needful Thing.” Let us be thankful by
being prepared - so we can all say, “All is safely gathered in!”
