This year, at 71, I learned how to can. My grandmother canned but my mother never did. It was a very satisfying feeling to see those finished jars. It gave me such a feeling of pride and accomplishment. Now I’ll have more to ration.

[@gloriagross8120]

“When the whole world is running towards a cliff, he who is running in the opposite direction appears to have lost his mind.” - C. S. Lewis I sometimes feel like that person running in the opposite direction. Your videos make me feel like I'm not alone in what I see coming.

[@Nana-zi9xq]

My neighbors are having spa days, playing bridge and playing golf. They don’t have a clue why I am excited to be canning, gardening and gathering supplies and tools.

[@cindyebner5556]

The enemy wants us to be fearful but God gave us a spirit of love, power and sound mind.

[@francinelarsen3303]

Right on, Patara!! Here's a No 1 step to try: Eliminate fast food. My brother, who has a PhD in mathematics calls it "poor people food". His family has never eaten it. Why? Because eating it makes YOU poor. Save that money and cook at home!

[@brendavalentine-bates7737]

Saw a woman in a grocery store pitchin' a fit because the cookie isle was out of family's cookies. I smiled and said, "I thank God He pointed me to learn how to make cookies." She retorted, "It must be nice." I responded, "My sons are thankful plus one of them bakes cookies with his kids, so yes God showed me a way to create a true memorable legacy."

[@margiemengel9283]

Fear is a liar. Loved that you said it! You are preparing people, not scaring people. Keep doing what you're doing.

[@lindawilliams1314]

Hey, Patara. When I retired and bought our homestead for my daughter and me, I found not one of our critters or country neighbors cared that I ditched the hair color, make up and contacts! FRUGAL IS FREEDOM

[@mellowlou8900]

Can remember teasing my mom, who grew up in the great depression, about cutting open the toothpaste tube to get every last drop. Wish I had gleaned more from her before the Lord took her home.

[@micheletaal4442]

I had my grandkids stay with me this weekend…. They wanted to know why the closet in the room they stayed in was full of food. :)

[@cks5631]

If nothing ever happens at this point it will only be a miracle from God himself!

[@nwpioneer2551]

I GREW UP IN THE GREAT DEPRESSION AND I REMEMBER, WOOD HEAT, NO FOOD, NO BATHS, ETC. THEY TODAY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT HOW IT WAS EVEN IF SOMEONE TELLS THEM ABOUT IT. THEY MAY FIND OUT.

[@erintuma34]

I have a feeling a lot of my friends and family really do think I’m crazy. But it’s not stopping me from doing everything I can to prepare for what’s to come. I don’t care anymore what people think of me. I believe at some point in the near future they’ll realize what a foolish mistake they made in choosing to remain ignorant.

[@maryintx4409]

I told many people twelve years ago this day was coming. Eleven years ago I got out of Chicago

[@OvcharkaShepherd]

The coming days is the reason we prep, why we spend our budget on animal feed, farming and canning supplies, why we forego new cars, vacations, fancy clothes and spa treatments. We buy used and sturdy tools, we fix our equipment, we buy boots and clothing that keep us protected in the elements. What we do is not a hobby or fad, it’s a commitment and lifestyle to assure we survive the future without our collapsing government and economy. If it does not come to be there is going to be one momentous hootenanny.

[@lauralaw2975]

I am looking at another increase in my groceries and feed issues. Walmart went up another five dollars on their black sunflower seed for forty pounds. I am an elderly retired farmer that moved to town recently and keeping a few hennies and retired barn kitties. They are my daily joy in my home and little backyard. I also fees the birds, squirrels and a whistle pig from my bedroom window. I also have city deer that come to my backyard as I keep a mineral block for them. I was going with less for my self and feed my animals before myself as they bring me daily joy. Now I am scared I won't have enough.. of course human food is scarce and expensive but also is pet food. I ration for myself but my fur and feather babies? Keep telling the reality of this time. I am trying now to worry about turning on the heat as my money is almost to zero by the end of the month. I pray for everyone.

[@dianafeldman2826]

This is such a good video. I love reading everyone's comments. I have been a "prepper" all my life. As a child I found some ration books in our attic and asked my mom about them. There was also an older Home Care nursing book about taking care of sick or injured family members in your own home. Chapters on how to make their bed with them in it, change bandages, and keep a sterile field in the sick room. There was another book on sewing that showed how to reconstruct a man's suit for a woman, or to make shorts or trousers and a jacket for a little boy, and for a little girl, a dress or a skirt and bolero. I had no idea about those things, but as you said, Patera, little eyes & ears were watching and listening. My mom taught me how to make jelly. When I moved to Oregon during the Hippie era, (was Not a Hippie) I bought two canners, one water bath one pressure cooker and turned the bountiful fruits and veggies into a proud & tasty display in my cabinets. As a single mom without child support for many months, I would buy a pound of hamburger, divide it into fourths, peel broccoli "stumps", chop them fine, mix other veggies into the burger and make hamburgers or whatever was on my menu plan. Yes, my mom taught me to have a menu plan for the week before you went shopping which I did. When I was granted $105.00, a month in Food Stamps, it was like I won the Lottery! I always made meals from scratch, (still do) so we had an abundance of basic food items and lots of vegetables. During that time I still limited meats and packed lunches for all of us, there was no school cafeteria. It was tough but I did it and many other young mom's have done it too! Necessity can be a tough mother but can be a delightful aunt who can challenge you to higher ways of thinking. Change your mind change your life! I feel very blessed and rather spoiled to have had all the experiences I've been given. Thank you for spreading the word. I don't want to see any child or grown-up go hungry.

[@frankieodom]

I canned about 10 pounds of ground beef, saved the grease/oil and clarified it into tallow and used it for frying my French fries. Will start rationing detergent, shampoo and conditioner, bleach, and everything else I can think of. Thank you for being a reminder that we need to ration. God had put it on my heart a couple days ago.

[@cherylbrown7833]

Attitude means alot....good attitude makes the tasks ahead easier...one foot in front of the other...I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me....

[@peacepocketmama4276]

Finally a homesteading channel that doesn't pretend the tsunami is not upon us. Thank you Patera. This message is crucial.

[@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara]

YW!

[@kentuckygirl8282]

Folks, if you feel afraid because of what Patara has said, then YOU need to check YOUR toes. It is you that needs to step back. Even if Patara listened to the fools and stopped talking about this, that does not mean the problem goes away. That just means less people prepare for what lies straight ahead. Stop shooting the messenger and get busy getting prepared for what's coming, because in the end, you are responsible for you. God bless, everyone.

[@appalachiashomesteadwithpatara]

THANK YOU! xo

[@ladyprepared]

I highly suggest all of you write your recipes down, write your thoughts down, write your stories as we go through this. Look at how many of us are looking from any snipets from the last Great Depression. People forget even when we say we won't. One day, your loved ones may need all the wisdom you are learning today.

[@cryptokeeper6713]

"Use up, Wear out, Make do, or, Do Without." Passed down verbally for generations in my family. The "make do" has made my boys learn to be creative....and they love sharing what they've come up with. I take my husband's stained hoodies...remove the hood and torn cuffs, and stich the collar and cuffs with embroidery thread or ribbon...turn it inside out (to hide the stains), and it's an acceptable garment for me to wear around for chores without looking to "frumpy". (Although, I do have those days too!) The point is, the rationing CAN become a bit of an enjoyable challenge.

[@ethelpack6319]

I’ve been stocking up on canned goods and canned meats. I canned tomatoes this summer and today I made 14 1/2 pints and 3 pints of grape jelly. I have been stocking up on dried beans and rice. I have some other things I have bought a few things of. My son and I have generators and a my buddy propane heater and some propane and gas set back. I’ve bought seeds for a garden next year. Still need to buy more things. I live in north middle Tennessee in a rural area, the nearest store is seven miles away. Nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away. God bless you and your family.

[@southerngrits]

We are in a recession right now . A depression is coming . We will be in this with the food problem at least 2 years maybe 3 . Price are going up and shortages are here . Listen to her what she says is the truth .

[@piggyacres]

Following your "rationing" advice also helps develop discipline and self control--both great virtues to have.

[@highvibehomestead1722]

I actually cannot believe we’re having these conversations, but you, Patara, are 100% correct. It’s time to go hard in this area.

[@southerngrits]

My grandma is 93 she went threw the depression . They ate Tomatoes from the garden sometime was all they had so they made tomato gravy and a little rice .

[@elizabethdoucet1271]

I see exactly what you are saying. I am 68 years old and have seen lots of changes, but I see changes coming quickly thanks 🙏

[@kempfreehold9450]

When I make my coffee, I add half the amount of new grounds to the grounds I used to make the previous pot.

[@glorybound7599]

Take a moment to thank God for the world around you and for opening your eyes to how you will need to face the future and that he will be there to get you through what’s coming. God Bless America 🇺🇸!

[@rhondam2938]

I don’t think you sound callous….but I will say that there are some people who NEED callous. Thanks again for your wisdom!

[@twoturtleshomestead]

My mom grew up during the depression and she always saved and rationed. I learned as much as I could. One thing I remember her always doing was taking all the leftovers from the week of dinner and turning it into soup on Saturday! I have started doing that and putting it in the freezer 😁

[@lorettawinters7687]

That's so sad people think you're fear mongering. Your not. It's a fact things are changing. Not for the best. Start prepping. I'm 63 yrs old. Been prepping for about 4 yrs. If you don't. I feel for you. No one is going to help you. You can go to food banks and get extras to put away. Grow a garden. Buy things on sale. You can do it. I did pray and stop fearin. Fear is not of God. And No I don't have help. I'm doing this on my own. My support comes from the Father. Blessings

[@susiewietelman9321]

Something I was taught as a young person to help not only conserve, but to cut down on laundry is to re-use your bath towels AT LEAST twice. You are clean coming out of the shower. Ladies who use 2 towels, one for your hair... your hair is clean so when you are done, hang those towels up and use again. Simple advice... but I had to learn it. ❤️ I raised my family like this. Now, common sense is VERY important. If you have an infection or are menstruating, wash your body towel each time. ~Blessings

[@littleoldlady4154]

Amen. Sister. I have to practice intermittent fasting because of my medicine. I am a cancer survivor. I was put in a group with 11 other people. We were put on a strict diet and later tested to see if we followed the diet. I was the only one who passed. They all could not change the way they ate. They could not give up certain foods. I was not scared and I did what I needed to do. I beat cancer. I have to control my eating habits. I have to for my health. I am a property caretaker on a 5 acre homestead. My job provides housing and after other expenses my grocery budget is $10 a week. I made it work. I built up a long term pantry. I built up enough supplies so I am good. We can all get through whatever is ahead this winter. With store shelves being empty, we have to all prepare so we do not have depend on the grocery store because the stores are not going to be there with everything that we need on the shelves.

[@lauramroberts07]

Our washer and dryer are having issues and hubby was talking about just buying new ones. I did a quick search on youtube and found repair videos, so I'm going to fix them instead and order extra parts. So often we just throw things away and buy new when many times the fix is easier and certainly cheaper than buying new. I'm the mechanically inclined person in our family so I am always trying to find ways to fix rather than replace. We all really need to change the way we think about things like that.

[@shannonadams3101]

Thank you for making these videos. EVERYONE needs to get serious about taking care of and doing for themselves. Learning to save, ration, make do, barter, etc. will become more of a necessity in years to come. You keep on doing what you're doing & sharing with us!

[@missionmindedhome]

This video was worth revisiting today. My husband lost his job with a major manufacturing company 3 weeks ago and has had to take a job making $10 less than he was making. The local air force contractors are laying off some 1700 people this summer as well many other companies here in middle TN. Thanks to you, Pinball, and a few others, we have been as prepared as we can be in our situation. Our food preps have been a huge help and I am not in fear of my family going hungry, but I now have a bigger drive to go bigger with this years garden to replenish what we are now beginning to tap into. Keep driving this home. Continue to encourage people to just start somewhere with growing food. Break the dirt and go for it!! I am seeing many just starting to wake up and think their gardens have to be in a box and pin pretty. Keep spreading the word and doing the good work God has given you to do.

[@cathyeller5722]

When ever I buy hamburger I get out the large bowl and mix in oatmeal, onion and garlic powder, I then portion out what I want in each bag. So, if I bought 5 pounds I'd have 7 bags of meat. We are doing meatless spaghetti, we were both raised really poor and know what it is to be truly hungry. Most people don't know what that is, we went through periods in our lives where we didn't have running water or plumbing in our house. During the recession I would start with one large piece of meat and then use small portions of it all through the week. You would start Sunday and Monday with your own piece of meat, the meat in dishes would progressively get smaller as the week went on. This time with what is going on is different, we now can't afford that big piece of meat and it takes up to much room in the freezer. Now, it's small packages and what can I put 1/2 of that ham pieces in to make it last a couple of days. We planted 20 pounds of potato's this year, there already aren't any left. I don't mean we are going without food it means I need to think differently now than I did before. The circumstances of what is going on is different, start rationing now is the answer. Get your love ones used to meatless meals, having buttered noodles with peas for dinner, put a little less coffee in the coffee maker. From what I have heard so far people are having trouble getting shoes, do you have a couple extra pair? It's 44 degree's tonight we are both in jogging clothes acting like we are freezing when it's not really that cold. That's what you do when you are riding the edge of the wave. Am I scared, yes, I'm 63 years old and I have prepared, but I don't know what's coming and to old to fight the way I used to. Hunker down, get ready and wait. Love your channel thanks

[@christinagardener1889]

Laundry detergent rationing: except for underwear and heavily soiled clothes we wear several times before washing. I turn hangers the opposite way in closet to indicate a previously worn garment. Clothes that has been worn relaxing, sleeping or doing a desk job only need half amount of detergent per load. We only use full strength for clothes worn doing outdoor work or workouts. 1/2 cup vinegar added with detergent in the wash cycle disinfects clothes, prevents static cling in the dryer and prevents those we hang dry from getting stiff.

[@christinagardener1889]

Stretching ground beef: make it into meatloaf, using old fashioned oats instead of bread crumbs. It's much more filling and more nutritious. While plain leftover hamburger is unappealling, leftover meatloaf makes a great grab and go lunch.

[@terrybizzle9027]

I didn't know that I was establishing a homestead in my retirement until I started watching channels like yours. Haha

[@danyelleq3525]

I have to say, all of the information you share is a MASSIVE BLESSING to me. I don’t have anyone in my life who taught me how to do anything. I have a different mindset than a lot of family, so I’m the odd man out. But having these videos as a resource is huge and truly needed! I don’t have anyone to look up to, to get advice from…thank you so much! Please know your knowledge is not going to waste! God Bless you, your family and the viewers.

[@tracysmith5948]

Here in Belgium 🇧🇪 the shelves are emptying as in the uk too. I have sown more seeds than before and hatched more chicks . Just in case. I’ve bought more seed packets than before of a mix of vegetables. I’m buying dried pulses and beans. Pasta and rice. I totally believe that I should be able to survive if there is a shortage of food. I’ve even let nettles grow as they are a good source of food.

[@LindaCBMediaGroup]

You speak truthfully! I'm going to get that book. One quick thing, when you're thanking the many "brave men", please don't forget all the women who've servered beside them, going all the way back to the Revolutionary War. Many women have died from injuries received in combat, whether or not they were combat troops. For example military nurses were killed in WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. I speak not just from the history I was taught in school, when they still taught fairly accurately, but I speak as a veteran of the Navy. I'm a disabled veteran, but not from wartime service. I have a number of good friends who servered in everything from Desert Storm to present day, some of whom have combat injuries. I'm certain that this was a honest oversight, but, so very many of these women feel like they're invisible to most people, as if their service was without any value. God bless, and please keep preaching the truth!

[@portialancaster3442]

I remember my mom talking about the Depression. Her family ate ketchup on white bread and if they were lucky there was a thin slice of onion on that ketchup. I love the way you bring the past into the present. So many people think they invented homesteading and food preservation. There's a lot to be learned from the back to the land movement of the 60's and older movements. How many of you oldsters remember the Five Acre Plan?

[@RiceaRoni354]

I remember my mom keeping and reusing aluminum foil. I’m now doing that. We grew up washing plastic silverware too. My mom grew up in the depression and WW2. She never talked about it but until she wasn’t able to function due to MS she lived some of her young girl lessons. I guess I learned by example.

[@amyfeigt6715]

Use it up. Wear it out. Make it do, or do without. Those words have guided me my entire life. It got me through when I had 2 young children & a husband battling brain cancer. It got me through joining 2 families & having 4 hungry teenagers under 1 roof. We furnished a growing household through Freecycle & secondhand. Taught our kids how to live & shop on a budget. I'm grateful for growing up with those lessons & being able to pass that way of thinking to our now grown kids.

[@pomiller1972]

I've been canning meat like crazy lately, buying it an sale when I see it!! I want food that I don't "have" to keep frozen if the power goes out.

[@tambrasmith9707]

My mother grew up in the depression ... she would cut the end off the toothpaste tube and dig out the rest of the toothpaste and wash her zip lock bags and reuse them...

[@shellakers10]

PREACH SISTAH!!!!!! You know, my mom is still living (she's 78) and she lives with us. We thought we were doing HER a favor by moving her into our home. It turns out, my mother is such a wealth of information and she's the best gardener I know. She comes from a big family who grew up in the country and their garden fed their entire family. Im trying to say that WE got the best deal when she moved in! We'd be in trouble if something happened to her and we needed to rely on our own knowledge. Both my hubby and I are spoiled children of the 80s and didn't pay the attention to our elders the way we should have. NOW.... we're on a crash course and taking notes from my mom and her sisters. They laugh at us because they knew this day would come. Lol. Anyway, you're not the only one who thinks the way you do. You're very wise and an asset to society. Thank you for what you do!

[@chantillyvintage]

I already ration everything. Food, detergent, etc. I do need to work on treats for my dog & cat. I spoil them & spend way too much $$$ on them. Everything I own is hand me downs. I’m the youngest of 9 & all my clothes & furniture, etc. are from family & I’m 50 yrs old. 🤣 Even my car & cell phone came from someone else. My family calls me cheap, but I don’t care...So time to examine other areas to ration even more.

[@judyrose7828]

I got a gift of another half day of good weather to get outside projects done before the rain set in. I put every minute of it to good use!

[@magsstewart5488]

I’m glad my parents aren’t here to see this. At the same time, I kinda wish they had lived long enough to see this come full circle. They were born and grew up during the depression. They knew.

[@lisalowe6922]

Speaking of meatless meals, I discovered a new recipe that I love, straight from my garden: I take about 5 okra, 10-15 green beans, 10 cherry tomatoes,a little onion. I chop them all up then add some garlic Garlic , and some Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. I sauté it in a frying pan in a little olive oil. When it’s done I put some Parmesan cheese on it. Yum! I could eat it every day. As a side note you could put whatever veggies you want.

[@brianj123458]

My brother is that one person that says I'm paranoid for collecting food up and he tells me I'm crazy for prepping lol. I just hope he finds a way to feed his family in the future. He lives 5 states away from me with a family so it would be hard for me to help if things get bad fast. Thanks and have great day 😀

[@chickenmama4384]

I grew up wearing hand me downs. I did not know any difference. I worry about my grandchildren and children and how they will adapt.

[@GossMania]

No matter what the outcome is we do need to start preparing our family and homestead for what might be upcoming or is coming in the future. Thanks for always saying the wise words to others that need to hear.

[@cyndicomeaux2986]

When more than one person talks about rationing within a 24 hour time period that tells me God sent that word. I watched this video last night. I watched Danny from deep South homestead this morning, came back and watched this video again and it was confirmation to me that things are very serious not just in the USA but all over the world. You and Mr. Danny said the same things in different ways. I got it.

[@amaxwell6017]

I devoured The Tightwad Gazette early in our marriage when we were living on a shoestring budget. All three books are on our living room shelf. There are several recipes that I still make from them. It may be time to reread them again. :) Thank you for your videos!

[@lighteninggazelle816]

Sooo true you ladies in the comments are mentors to me!! I am a young homeschool mom of 3 and RELY on you strong women ❤️❤️❤️

[@mycupoverflows7811]

So funny, I told my husband just yesterday, "well, at least I have my copy of the Complete Tightwad Gazette!" I used to read it just to feel happy lol! Recipes, homemade Christmas gifts, heated debates about whether or not to reuse styrofoam meat trays... LOVE that book!😍

[@KathyConaway]

I wear goodwill clothes all the time. We get 30% off on senior day so that is when I stock up. I do like to buy new, but very seldom. I can’t tell you the last time I bought something new. Yes it’s true about those grand babies watching what you do. I hope to be the grandma to them that my grandma was to me. Thank you for your videos recently. Really liking them.

[@lanabisson2675]

Patera, slightly different topic here; As I was shopping at wally world, I was loading the few items I had to pick up. I had a revelation in that moment. The first of the Marauders attacks might possibly occur at the grocery store parking lots. I see a scenerio of limited household allowed in store with limits on purchase maybe only people with a shot card. I can see where there will be those that wait in parking lots to attack and grab your groceries. It wont be safe to shop if we still can. thats what I am feeling.

[@etet4536]

Hey Patara, thank you for mentioning pinto beans and cornbread...I've never tried it, not being from your area, in fact I've never heard of it, but I immediately looked it up, found a recipe that looked good and I'm going to try it. If you have any other meal ideas that are low budget and filling, please pass them along in your future videos. Thanks for all you do to help people understand and get through the current global situation.

[@KG-ee8cf]

Yes!!! You are scaring the hell out of people!!! Good for you! It's time we pay attention, open our eyes, open our ears and accept the ugly truth. So, Thank You!!! I truly appreciate your bedside manor. Now, I need to find your depression era cooking video!

OK I'm a believer. I went to my local grocery store 2 days ago to buy some frozen veg to stock up and there were none. It's not because people are panic buying but that the deliveries are short coming. Geez there was nothing, not even a bag of corn or peas. Thank G I still have my freezers full!

[@authentichomestead]

I've always thought this way on many things because I was raised by parents born in 1929. This is a good reminder. Just wish companies would make better products because they're more disposable nowadays than they were many years ago, even including major purchases. ~ Laurie

[@GypsyBrokenwings]

I don't have a washer and do laundry by hand (not easy with arthritis), but if you wash lightly soiled things first, you can reuse the wash water 2 or 3 times, saving on water and soap. I knew someone with a washer who, after filling the washer, would have it drain into a farm sink, then reuse that water.

This is one of the best videos in a very long time. Some ppl call this living poor. I call it living Deep South....

A Great Depression IS coming. This time, right now, is the beginning of it. I don't think it could be fixed now no matter what. May The Lord protect us. Tip--When you need ground beef for a casserole, spaghetti, etc,...try using slightly less beef and mix in some finely minced cooked red beans, such as Cranberry or Pintos. I usually try to add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the beans (I pulse them in my food processor--not to the point of being a paste but just dhort of that) to 3/4 pound of beef. No one in my family has figured out what I'm doing, and it's healthier and saves money.

Amen. Even if folks balk at this…the seeds has been planted.

I remember my great grandmother do things like that. She would mix flour or dry bread in her ground meat to stretch it. She lived though the great depression.on a farm . They didn't feel the depression so much because they already lived a life of rationing and living off the land.

A lot of the trash you put in the trash can can be recycled into a lot of things, fertilizer, fire starter, glasses to drink from, jars for canning, plastic jugs for water storage, to name a few.

Yes we have been working on rationing our meat. We only eat meat about one time per week.

Excited to get our wood burning stove in, found a lady selling a pretty nice one. Missed having one and the money it saves from our old home.

LoL :-D I love the tea bag story. My parents married in 1952. They didn't have much. They told me stories of sharing one tea bag for a week and only having a cabbage and two potatoes for a few weeks. They taught me to appreciate everything because it's a gift from the Most High. I gave up my clothes dryer last year, I have an awesome clothes line. My power bill went down more than 60%. I've been planting my garden and growing my goats and chickens. We all need to be more self sufficient . Thank you for all your videos, they have helped me with great ideas. Be blessed. Shalom

Just read an article on truck drivers walking off jobs due to mandates of vaccines. 70% of all goods are delivered by trucks and if you think stuff is on short supply now wait till the truckers say to heck with everything. Current administration says they will ok 18-21 year olds to drive big rigs. Not sure how that will work.

When we see the signs we have to warn or their blood is on our hands! I’m sure they said Noah was crazy and his warning was not heeded!

My parents went thru the great depression, my daddy was 21, they raised us to be prepared even when others weren't interested. I'm so grateful for them, we taught our children to be prepared and they are now teaching theirs. Keep the videos coming!

Im 67…been a prepper from the minute I gave birth to my first child during the inflation of the 70s. This is different from past crisis events in my life. In this case, we have several things happening simultaneously. You keep doing what you are doing….you will save lives. Much love.

[@shirleygreen2397]

I hear from my son that I'm negative. But I'm trying to get my children to start preparing, and to see the truth. I know God's in control but God doesn't say that you wait on him to do everything. Thank you Shirley
