3. When you wake up in the morning, pray for God’s guidance in giving you purpose for the day.

4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

24. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

26. Recognize that becoming self-reliant is the most important thing you can do to insure long-term survival. Rely on yourself and you will never be met with disappointment.

The Final Word

As we enter the waning few weeks of the year, I encourage you to look back and reflect upon those things that have made you the happiest. If there were more bad times then good, so be it. As Preppers we have too much to do to dwell on the past. Let us move forward together as we create a better life for ourselves and our family.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Enjoy your next adventure through common sense and thoughtful preparation!
