138. Today I am grateful for Food storage

I love that The Church encourages its members to be prepared both spiritually and temporally. Part of the temporal preparedness includes building up a food storage. Many members strive to have a one year food storage but that is not always possible, but in the last couple of years or so there has been an emphasis on building up a 3 month food storage that consists of non perishable foods that are eaten often. I started building up my 3 month food storage about 2 years ago and now I have a complete 3 month food storage that is being rotated. I am grateful for the security that it brings, knowing that I will have a good supply of food if we do end up having a natural disaster. It has come in handy several times so far. Sometimes I will run out of something and can just go to my food storage without having to go to the store for one thing. I will just note the changes on my spread sheet and replace it at another time. I also love it when I find great deals and/or coupons on needed items!
