Tip of the Day 5/16/12

As we are enjoying the beautiful Spring weather we all need to be aware this is also the time of year we begin experiencing natural disasters in many parts of the country. I have lived in earthquake zones, tornado country, blizzard areas, and even experienced floods in two locations. Even though we currently live in an area where we have experienced very little truly severe weather conditions we have taken preparedness steps just in case. Every home should have an emergency kit that will keep your family warm and fed for 3 plus days. Google "Home Emergency Preparedness Kit" and fill a bin today. I hope you never have to use it.

Word for Today, Counsel: We all, from time to time, find ourselves in need of counsel. In this day and age we can Google any topic and find dozens of answers. Often people pose a question on FaceBook or other social media and get dozens of responses from friends. Some people ask co-workers their opinions on a problem. The more opinions we get the more confused we can become. There is one place we can go for the answers we need, God's Word. He may tell us to seek the counsel of someone older and wiser, we may be directed to seek the counsel of a pastor, we may even be directed to seek the counsel of a counselor, but the direction is there and it should be our starting point. "Seek first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." "You will guide me with Your counsel." "His name will be called Wonderful Counselor."
