We have long
been counseled to “Be Prepared”, and given lists for 72 hour kits, food storage
items, and emergency preparedness events. Many have gone forth with faith and
obedience to strive to be ready for whatever may come. But now – more than
ever, as Mother Nature has shown forth her fury, and disasters have rolled out
across the entire world, the great need for all of the preparedness we can
muster has been seen first-hand! If someone did not see the importance of
preparedness before, hopefully they will now! These disasters have sent many to
re-assess the state of their family’s preparedness. As we each take stock of
where we stand, remember that it is better to have something rather than
nothing, and that preparedness is always ongoing, not a one-time event. With the
recent disasters of the world in mind, may we consider what we have to aid our
family at home, and what we can learn from the experience of others. This is a
harvest season – so let us be sure the fruits of our labors in being prepared
will keep our family safe and sound – come what may! As this season comes – may
we each say “all is safely gathered in!”
