Prophetic Counsel About Home Storage:
"Many more people could ride out the storm-tossed waves in their economic lives if they had their...supply of food...and were debt free. Today we find that many have followed this counsel in reverse: they have at least a year's supply of debt and are food-free."
Pres. Thomas S. Monson, Church News, May 12, 2001
"Everyone who owns a home recognizes the need for fire insurance. We hope and pray that there will never be a fire. Nevertheless, we pay for insurance to cover such a catastrophe, should it occur. We ought to do the same with reference to family welfare."
"Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley, Ensign, Nov. 2002
"In the day of plenty, prepare for the day of scarcity."
First Presidency, Conf. Report, Apr. 1942
"Learn to sustain yourselves, lay up grain and flour, and save it against a day of scarcity."
Pres. Brigham Young, sel. John A. Widtsoe (1954)
Quotes taken from the March 2009 Ensign article entitled "Family Home Storage: A New Message (p. 56). This article and the one right after, "The Nature of Self-Reliance" are excellent articles and very timely. The March edition of The Friend, also has a wonderful article entitled "Emergency Day Drill".
Our leaders are truly inspired. I bear testimony, that if we will follow their counsel and teachings, we will have peace of mind and will be blessed in our daily lives.
