TEAM SPIRIT
….and I quote:
Dear Brothers and Sisters:
Our Heavenly Father created this beautiful earth, with all its abundance, for our benefit and use. His purpose is to provide for our needs as we walk in faith and obedience. He has lovingly commanded us to “prepare every needful thing” (see D&C 109:8) so that, should adversity come, we may care for ourselves and our neighbors and support bishops as they care for others. (All Is Safely Gathered In pamphlet, www.providentliving.org)
Maybe food storage reflects our stewardship and charity. Investing in provident living, many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are choosing to be part of a worldwide team, prepared with extra food, “so that, should adversity come, we may care for ourselves and our neighbors and support bishops as they care for others.”
The goal has always been sharing, not hoarding. Let’s choose now to make the necessary preparations, both spiritual and temporal, which will enable us to say yes if the Bishop needs to call for our food storage. That’s the team I want to be on.
