Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold,
there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, …they departed; and, lo, the
star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where
the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great
joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his
mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures,
they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. Mathew 2:1 &2;
9-11.

 How to Become Self-Reliant
 First, we need to not just understand the need to find a storage program to
become Self-Reliant; we need to become Committed to following the program and set a
date to reach this goal.
 Next, we need to Learn what we need to become Self-Reliant. We need to learn the
basics of home storage, First Aid and family preparedness, so that we can live for a
year or two with a minimum of outside dependency on others. Doing this will save us
money, time and effort as we work
 Then we need to put together a 72 Hour Kit for our home, car, office and/or
school. This is a kit that will provide us with food, water, light, heat and other
important items that we might need to help us during and after an emergency.
 We mustn’t forget Water-Water-Water! We need to store 1 gallon of water a day,
per person, for drinking. A two-week minimum Supply is recommended. Learn to purify
and filter water and to use a solar still.
 Now, on to getting our Food Storage together it is recommended that we have 3 to
6 months supply of the foods that we already regularly eat; that we have a 2 months
supply of ready to eat foods that do not require water or cooking, just grab and run;
and a 1 year supply of long term storage foods such as bulk grains, and dehydrated or
freeze dried foods.
 We, also, need a supply of Non-Food Items. Items for cooking, heating, light,
shelter, First Aid, tools,
Communication, sanitation, camping equipment, fuel, clothing and garden supplies,
etc.
 And it is very important to get together a library of helpful books, ranging from
general repairs to survival manuals, gardening, First Aid, food storage books,
cookbooks and anything that might be helpful under any circumstance and situation you
might find yourself in.
 Now that we have everything together we need to remember to use and replenish
what we have.
 Lastly, after we have completed everything else, we may get the extra items we
have become accustomed to in life, that are not essential to survival, but would be
nice to have. Remember they won't be nice to have if we don't have the essentials!)

 ‘Twas the month before Christmas

‘Twas the month before Christmas and all As I surveyed my
storage with eyes all aglow,
 Through the house- The security
of filled cans all straight in a row
The storage was low- hardly a crumb for a mouse. Filled my heart with a
warmth and eyes with a tear
The shelves were about empty, Oh, what a plight! To think I had food to last
us a year.
The wolf's at the door and no money in sight.
 This
feeling of warmth and security too,
All the children were nestled to keep warm in Is what we, as loving
friends, wish for you
 their bed.. So put
gifts of storage under each Christmas tree
Hoping that before long they would surely be fed. For those on your list, is
our warmest plea.
The prophet had counseled, "Each one be prepared."
We had procrastinated the day. Give honey, give
sugar, give flour and wheat.
Why hadn't we cared? Give milk, give
salt, give something to eat.
 And
you'll hear them exclaim when
Alas! Twas only a dream. But that didn't matter Christmas is here,
I jumped from my bed making a loud awful clatter "Thank you so much, it will be
a good year!"
Away to the basement I flew like a flash,
Stumbling over boxes and bottles, along with some trash.
