A lot of the fears that are associated with these kinds of things can disappear if you feel like you are prepared ahead of time.
Here is a sample list of {Little Projects} happening at our house this month to help us be prepared instead of scared:
4- Take time each day to strengthen family spiritually (FHE, family devotional, prayer, scripture study, etc.)
5- Purchase/mount/learn how to use a fire extinguisher. We're doing one in the kitchen and one downstairs too near the laundry/furnace area.
8- Replace batteries in fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.
11- Update will and think about insurance needs.
12- Stick to the family spending plan
It only takes watching the news to remember that our world is a bit unstable. Hurricane Katrina-like and terrorist disasters can happen anywhere and it's nice to have a feeling of safety and control for your own family in a world that feels quite out-of-control sometimes. At these times the {Little Projects} you've done to prepare will bring you peace in the midst of uncertainty.
In a month that glorifies the scary I hope you find the time to make your world feel more safe and secure. I would love to hear what {Little Projects} you take on and hope that the links above help!
Hmmm...I might just have to give this a try. It sounds wonderful!
