The devastation in Japan is tragic. Various times throughout my day I stop and think, right now I have the blessing of feeling secure while thousands are without shelter, food, and life. We know our life can change in an instant but until we see it, this reality doesn't apply. However this reality does apply today to the citizens of Japan and the victims families.
So if you don't appreciate your current circumstances, please know, they could be worse....in one instant. Due to this fact, I was inspired to put together a survival kit for our family of 3. Below is a list of 30 items (with links) to be included.
Prayer will be at the top of the list if I actually ever have to use it.
