After being strengthened by this wonderful Conference weekend, I find my thoughts turning to my 72 hour kit.
These kits should be checked, rotated and updated every 6 months. We need to remember to check the expiration date on food items, change seasonal clothing and update our children's clothing to the appropriate size.
I find all of this easiest to do for Family Home Evening. So, tonight we hauled out our 72 hour kit and took stock of what was in need of replacement and changed out our clothes. We checked batteries and other camping equipment for any signs of wear. We found an applesauce container that had broken open and was molding, so that was quickly tossed.
For dessert we enjoyed expired fruit cups (don't think less of me - I hate to throw stuff away.) My kids loved opening the pack to see what was inside and it was a good reminder of the counsel we have been given to be prepared.
How is your 72 hour kit holding up?
