As most of you know from reading the Weather and Environment area postings, I stress preparedness when severe weather is near. I have posted links to sites which list Survival Kits for Storms.

However, there is another Survival Kit that I have with me at all times. It is a small linen bag with a draw string filled with ordinary items that act as reminders.

This is the contents of that linen bag;

My Christian Survival Kit:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
A Golden Thread - to remind you that friendship is
the golden thread that ties together the hearts of
everyone.
Candy Hugs and Kisses - when a hug is needed.
Toothpicks- to help pick out the good qualities in
others and yourself.
Lifesaver's Candy - for the times others need your
help and you theirs.
Marbles - to replace the ones you've lost.
Mounds Candy Bar - for the "mounds" of love and
support that you share with others.
Tissues - to wipe away the tears of joy and sadness.
Door Stop - so your door is always open.
Candle - to help light your path to God.
Cotton Ball - for cushioned support of your family
and friends for the rough roads ahead.
Band Aid - to heal the pain and suffering of others
who need your shoulder to lean on.
Pack of Gum - so that your Church or Chapel can "stick
together."
Crayons - to "color" your day bright and cheerful.
Sponge - for when your Love overflows.
A Penny - so you'll never be broke.
Rubber Band - to remind you to be flexible.
Puzzle Piece - without You, dear God, things wouldn't be
complete.
Sweet and Sour Candy - to help you appreciate the
differences in others.
A Jewel - because you are as valuable as any precious
stone to those who rely on you for comfort.
Pencil- to remind you to list your Blessings every
day.
