Throughout the season, we gather with family and friends to remember our blessings of the past year. What a great time to discover what items families are in need of as you make your gift giving plans for Christmas. How is their food storage and non-food storage looking? Do they have kits for everyone? Are they prepared to live off grid?

It Took Losing Everything to Be Grateful for Something
When I was married to my first wife, with two beautiful children, a nice house, and a fairly successful business, I thought it was all just normal. That's what people do right?
