Be Prepared

I have just read my sisters blog and in the light of the recent Haiti disaster she wrote about being prepared for emergencies, tragedies and any other huge event in our lives.

Well it got me thinking.................Yes the Haiti disaster and happenings like this around the world get you thinking but do we actually do anything 'just in case', I think the answer is no! We donate to the disaster fund to try in our own small way to help the poor unfortunate people that are currently suffering. And then we move on into our lives.

We do need to be prepared. We need to ensure we have a few tins of nourishment, soup, beans and the like, a few bottles of water, a working torch, a small first aid kit, and maybe even a portable radio. If such a terrible distaster befalls us and we are not immediately injured so badly we cannot move, there is a chance, just a chance we can reach the water, the food, the torch, even the first aid kit and radio.

At least we can survive a short while, hopefully till the rescuers get to us. We can hopefully listen to reports on the radio, even turn it up loud when we hear voices near to us.

Please God in my small world, please dont let anything like this happen to those I love and hold dear. Thats all I can do,hope, pray to keep us all safe and prepare, just in case!
