Preparing for 'hard economic times'...

I know many have their own opinions about 'preparedness'. I am a preparer. Always have been from, how to educate my children to preparing for a hurricane. I make a list for everything. It is just who I am.

I am also a Christian and trust in my Lord. I am not concerned about my own well being because I believe that God is in totally of control of everything in this world and in my life. With that said, He also sometimes calls us to do things, like storing food, planting a garden and raise chickens.

If you haven't felt the need to store up some food and water, I suggest you consider it. The economy is very uncertain and fragile right now. We don't know if we will see a huge rise in the cost of food or your family will be hit with a spouse who becomes unemployed, like mine has.

Knowing that I have a well stocked pantry is comforting to me during this uncertain times. I know I have food to feed my family and others in need. I can be of service to those who are in need.

Just some thoughts to consider...
