Are you prepared?

Ok, so I don't want to be Henny Penny crying the sky is falling but are you prepared?  These are the days talked about in the scriptures of the winding up scenes before the coming of the Lord.  Are you seeing the signs? Today in the South East.

These are the empty shelves in a Target store in Atlanta yesterday when the National Weather Service announced, "Be prepared for a catastrophic event" and to "be prepared to be without power for perhaps days and in some cases, as long as a week."  They got an ice storm that created up to 1/2" of ice in some places.  The shelves were emptied by panicked people in less than a day who were not prepared.

"More than 200,000 customers across Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama and the Carolinas were without power early Wednesday. But Georgia was bearing the brunt of the wicked weather, with more than 100,000 customers in the dark Wednesday after frozen tree limbs slashed power lines, while emergency planners urged drivers across the state to stay off “deceptively dangerous” roads."

Are you prepared?   "If ye are prepared, ye shall not fear."  The Lord prepared Egypt through Joseph by warning them of the famine.  He prepared Elijah by commanding him to leave and go to a brook where he could drink and be fed by the ravens.  He prepared Noah telling him to build an Ark. He prepared Lehi by telling him to take his family and leave.   He has been telling us now for years to be prepared by having at least a one year supply of food storage and other essentials, getting out of debt and having a savings set aside.  Have we been listening and seeing the signs?  This is why we feel so strongly about the Stake challenge to have at least a one year supply of food storage by October General Conference. 

This months food storage items are Wheat and Yeast.  If you are expecting a tax refund, what better use could you put it to than buying food storage and paying off debts with it.  If you haven't started, start now.  If you have started, keep adding to your food storage.  You will NEVER regret it.

Have fun with your food storage.
