Obedience
The prophets and apostles have told us to be prepared and keep a storage of items that we could use in an emergency. With Jeff changing his jobs, and a couple pricy circumstances coming at the same time, we had little money to live off of for 5 weeks. It has been difficult to not have the fresh fruits and veges we love, but we feel grateful that we knew to store food and supplies. Our "emergency" has helped us increase our faith that Heavenly Father will help us through hard times if we prepare and do the best we can. We have also learned what kinds of things are more valuable than others, so when we build our storage up again, we'll watch out for those things. For example, we love fruits and veges so it would be good to find ways to store canned, dried, frozen, etc. produce. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts about what to have in your emergency storage, I'd like to hear.

Recently my youngest threw up for the first time and had a hard time keeping food down for a little while afterward. I bought some Gatorade to help, and it made me think that a "power drink" like that may be useful to have in storage in case a family member is sick and cannot stomach the usual food storage items.
I've also thought a lot about non-food items like diapers and hand sanitizer. Normally I buy just enough to get us by until the next paycheck since we live so close to grocery stores. But I feel I need to be more careful and leave ourselves more of a buffer in case of an emergency.
