Went to a preparedness conference and took note of these four reminders.

• Bad news. We have to go through a lot of turmoil to get to the good stuff.
• Bad things happen to good families all the time.
• Good news: we win in the end.

Object lesson: old pan

Bring an old pan out of the kitchen that is discolored and stained but still used. Talk about all the different meals that have been cooked with the pan. Talk about how it has to be cleaned up and it gains new stains and dents through frequent use. It is a favorite pot. It preservers and is an aid in preparing wonderful meals.

We will go through a lot in the last days. God, Family and Country are similar to our old pot. Religious people,  family units and the country will undergo a lot of abuse. They can be great sources of comfort. It’s important that we appreciate and take care of our tools.
