For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), self-reliance is a way of life. We are encouraged to prepare for whatever may come our way and to become increasingly more self-reliant in every aspect of our lives, including health, education, employment, finances, spiritual fortitude, and home production and food storage. Adversity may come our way, but we believe that being prepared will alleviate any fears we may have.
The more temporally and spiritually prepared we are, the stronger we will be to withstand any unexpected challenge. Our law of health, the Word of Wisdom, helps us to live healthy lives. Education is an investment in our future for gaining knowledge and wisdom and in qualifying for employment. We seek fulfilling employment that brings us satisfaction and a sustaining lifestyle. Serving in our communities helps us to improve the lives of others and the areas in which we live.
Preparedness need not be expensive and Mormons strive to stay out of debt. Proper planning is key in temporal preparedness. Gathering basic commodities necessary to sustain life is critical, particularly in times of crisis. Buying a few extra cans of food we normally eat helps us to set aside a supply for use in an emergency. Such an emergency could be a long-term illness, loss of a job, care for a family member or friend in crisis, or recovery from a weather-related event.
Of course, the foundation of preparedness is our relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We strive to learn of Him, draw nearer to Him, and to live our lives preparing to return to Him in the life after this one. Spiritual strength is a constant area of growth for members of the Church.
If you are interested in learning more and know anyone else who is, we will have a free Preparedness Fair sponsored by the Blairsville Branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on March 24, 2018, 9:30am-4:00pm at the LDS Church, 656 NC-141, Murphy, NC.
