Quotation:
“The principle of the fat and lean kine is as applicable today as it
was in the days when, on the banks of the Nile, Joseph interpreted Pharaoh's
dream. Officials now warn us, and warn again, that scant days are coming.”
(President Heber J. Grant, J. Reuben Clark, Jr., David O. McKay (First
Presidency), Conference Report 1942 as quoted in We Believe, by Rulon T.
Burton)

This Month's Spiritual Preparation Ideas:
===============================
“Repent or Perish,” First Presidency Message By President Marion G.
Romney, Second Counselor in the First Presidency
“’Repent or perish.’ There is, in my judgment, no more
important message for the people of our day. From the days of Adam ‘repent
or perish’ has been repeatedly and solemnly declared by the Father himself,
his Son Jesus Christ, and their authorized representatives, the prophets.
The truth of the message has been demonstrated as regularly as it has been
declared. The Lord called upon the first generation of men to ‘repent.’
He advised them that ‘as many as believed in the Son, and repented of their
sins, should be saved; and as many as believed not and repented not, should
be damned.’ (Moses 5:15.) The Lord told Enoch to preach to the antediluvians,
‘and say unto them—Repent, lest I come out and smite them with a curse,
and they die.’ (Moses 7:10.) As Noah taught the people of his day the things
of God, ‘the Lord said unto [him]: My Spirit shall not always strive with
man, … yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years; and if men do
not repent, I will send in the floods upon them.’ (Moses 8:17.) Noah continued
his teaching through the allotted time, but his contemporaries would not
repent. Consequently, they were destroyed in the flood.” . . . “In the
29th section of the Doctrine and Covenants, we read that before the great
and terrible day of the Lord shall come, ‘there shall be weeping and wailing
among the hosts of men; And there shall be a great hailstorm sent forth
to destroy the crops of the earth. And it shall come to pass, because of
the wickedness of the world, that I will take vengeance upon the wicked,
for they will not repent; for the cup of mine indignation is full; for
behold, my blood shall not cleanse them if they hear me not. Wherefore,
I the Lord God will send forth flies upon the face of the earth, which
shall take hold of the inhabitants thereof, and shall eat their flesh,
and shall cause maggots to come in upon them; And their tongues shall be
stayed that they shall not utter against me; and their flesh shall fall
from off their bones, and their eyes from their sockets; And it shall come
to pass that the beasts of the forest and the fowls of the air shall devour
them up.’ (D&C 29:15-20.) Although these scriptures, and numerous others
to like effect, clearly and forcefully emphasize the message ‘repent or
perish,’ they are not unkind, harsh, nor flippant. Neither are they arbitrary.
They express the logical and inevitable consequences of the violation of
natural law—that law which was ‘decreed in heaven before the foundations
of this world, upon which all blessings are predicated.’ (D&C 130:20.)
These warnings have been declared to the world now for more than 140 years.
The world is without excuse. The signs of the times bear ominous testimony
that for this generation the hour of reckoning approaches. ‘He that hath
ears to hear, let him hear.’ (Matt. 11:15.) If we keep the foregoing scriptures
in mind, they will help us understand the ‘signs’ of our times. As dark
as the picture seems, however, there is a bright side to it. He who really
listens will find that all the warnings, ancient and modern, have a silver
lining that give cause for rejoicing. Both history and the scriptures are
as replete with promises and proof that the repentant shall live, as they
are with warnings that the unrepentant shall perish.” - Marion G. Romney,
“Repent or Perish,” Ensign, Apr. 1975, page 3

This Month’s Frugal Living Tips:
==============================
Seek learning opportunities on how to do basic machine and hand sewing,
mending, and clothing remodeling. Put together a useful sewing kit for
your home and a smaller sewing kit in your 72-hour emergency kit. Collect
buttons, zippers, and hooks from old clothing before making the clothing
into rags or making it into other useful items such as pillows, patches,
pin cushions, dress collars, bias trim, garden gloves, rag rugs, potpourri
sachets, padded clothes hangers, pot holders, napkins, place mats, doll
clothes, stuffed toys, bandages, aprons, fabric art and decoupage, canning
jar tops, wrapping for presents, lining for gift or picnic baskets, picture
frames, eyeglass cases, Christmas ornaments, small upholstery projects,
duffle laundry bags, clothespin bags, dust covers for small appliances,
or quilts.
(Sewing Kit Ideas - http://www.nursehealer.com/Sewing.htm )
Learn to mend your own socks and other clothing. “The procedure is the
same whether you are mending a sock or a tear or a hole of any kind. Place
a support underneath the needle, a darning egg for a sock, for example,
or an adhesive cloth for a tear in fabric. First cover the hole with long
vertical stitches by picking up a few base threads a few millimeters from
the hole. Complete the mend with some horizontal stitches; stop the thread
and pick up a few threads and then sew over and under the vertical stitches.”

Sew What's New Online has patterns, quilting and sewing tips, projects to try, and a free weekly newsletter. http://www.sew-whats-new.com/
More sewing tips and resources are at http://www.nursehealer.com/Sewing.htm
Use your food storage in alternate methods of food preparation. For
example, sprout your wheat for nutritious sprouts and wheatgrass.
Wheatgrass is a rich nutritional food that contains a
great variety of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. According to Dr.
Ann Wigmore, educator and founder of the Hippocrates Health Institute in
Boston, 1 pound of fresh wheatgrass is equal in nutritional value to nearly
25 pounds of the choicest vegetables.
