So, a friend asks me what should we do about our living situations in relation to to the weather turning bad.

First and foremost: preparation is always a good idea for any kind of potential hard times ahead.  Those that plan ahead, are like soldiers who train – they’re in a better position to face the challenges that can come forth.  God does not give us challenges without first giving us what is needed to face the challenges.  We are  here to grow our spiritual muscles, gain in understanding, learn to cooperate and build, strive to enrich our hearts and souls, and develop our relationships to God, to ourselves and to each other.

Let us strive to have faith in God, have faith in ourselves, and have faith in others.

Address several things:
health
habitat
heat
food
water
electricity

The Internet is a wealth of information for preparation for problems.  I won’t even try to duplicate it here.
