Someone once told me our Mansions in Heaven will be furnished with what we give away.
Everyone will be feeling hardships and if we can alleviate the misery Jesus has this to say: MATTHEW 25:41-46 "Then he will say to those on his left, `Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'
"They also will answer, `Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'
"He will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'
"Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."
To store up to be a blessing or to just to provide comfort is to give to the Lord.
What good would it do to save your life with some hoarded sandwiches and then lose your soul?
And another view:
Your Highest Priorities Are to Survive and Help Othersfrom:http://www.survive-economic-collapse.com/blog/
There are two kinds of people as far as the coming dollar collapse and depression are concerned. First, there are those who are setting aside provisions, increasing home security, exchanging paper dollars for silver and gold and so forth. They are making survival the highest priority in their lives. Then there are those who are not. This second group of people go about their lives as though the dollar collapse and depression do not exist.
Both groups at a gut level instinctively know we are at a tipping point in American history with both the economy and our freedoms. And still, the second group of people seem unconcerned. To those of us in the first group, it seems the second group are either frozen in fear or are just living in denial.
It's this second group I want to discuss with those of you in the first group. You must reach out to those in the second group who are blood relatives and or neighbors. Look at it this way. If you have made survival your highest priority but are ignoring those in the second group, you are making a big mistake. For unless you are willing to reach out to them while there is still time to do so, they could one day become your worst enemy. That may be selfish, but it is the truth.
Do not think your neighbor or family member would never turn on you. For if you and your neighbor or family member are not of one mind…If you have not agreed ahead of time to help one another and actually are doing so, what would stop them from turning on you when things really turn rough?
In the end, when push comes to shove, there is not a single one of us who can survive without help from others. You might think otherwise, but know this. One day you will need something your neighbor can offer. One day you will have a medical emergency. One day, you will want someone Else's expertise. One day you will want more eyes and ears guarding your home. Unless you and your neighbors have made a soulful pact to be there for one another when that time comes, what will you do???
I'm just making do with what clothing I have now, or re-making them, and not buying anything new that will probably be taken from me anyway when chaos reigns. I'm just concentrating on making things to give to others.
Everyone needs at least one of these for their emergency kits:
pure-go filtering water bottles
It lasts for approximately 1 year. If a person drinks 3 bottles of water per day the cost of the bottle is equals less than 3 cents per fill up.
