Last Day?

Yesterday was the first day I heard about an 89 year old Minister from California, who leads a following, that predicted the end of the world TODAY. The beginning of the end... Judgement Day! He was specific. It would start at 6:00 p.m, beginning with a huge earthquake. Well, I knew better. We are told in the scriptures that no man knows the day or hour of the the Savior's second coming.

But it did give me cause to think and I asked myself a few questions. If this were the last day as we know it, was I personally prepared to weather the looming storms? I have my 72 hour kit, readily accessible, but needs updating with new food products. My car tank is empty. I have no cash on hand. I have some storage, but not long-term storage. Although I read my scriptures daily and feel like I am learning and progressing, I'm sure I don't always recognize the promptings of the Holy Ghost. I feel I have much more spiritual growth ahead of me. I need to put in much more effort in serving, showing gratitude, humility, and recognizing the Lord's voice. I wouldn't be ready today! Looks like I have some work ahead of me.

I thought about what the most important thing in my life was. There was no doubt... Family! My children and grandchildren are my greatest treasure. I love them, every last one of them. Out of all the possessions in my life, it is family I would want to be with, take with me, if it were the last day on earth.
