September is known for many things: back to school, apple harvesting,
pleasant weather, fall festivals, rodeos, and porch sitting. It is also the
“National Preparedness Month.” What a perfect time for us to wrap up our summer
with an extra effort to address our preparedness. As we end a glorious summer –
we have hopefully set aside some of the harvest for a rainy day. That “Ounce of
Prevention” of stocking shelves and a 72-hour kit today, is truly worth a
“Pound of Cure” when emergencies arrive. Those preparedness efforts will pay
off in times of emergencies, but they also help us in living providently. We
eat food bought at good prices, instead of scrambling when supplies are low. We
are able to care for our loved ones and not wonder each day what we will put on
the table. The storms of life will certainly arrive, and in a variety of forms;
but the greatest reward for preparedness may just be the peace of mind that
comes when you know that you are ready to provide for those you love. If we are
prepared we will not fear, and better yet- we can feel the same peace and calm
as… a September Day!
