What is Provident Living?

 Welcome to the B8 Provident Living Blog.  Here I will post ideas and information to help us all "Provide for the future, while taking care of today." 

The following is taken from Spencer W Kimball's Teachings, chapter 11.

"We have placed considerable emphasis on personal and family preparedness.  I hope that each member of the Church is responding appropriately to this direction. . . I like the way the Relief Society teaches personal and family preparedness as "provident living." This implies 

1) the husbanding [prudent managing] of our resources, 

2) the wise planning of financial matters, 

3) full provision for personal health, and 

4) adequate preparation for education and career development, 

5) giving appropriate attention to home [food] production and storage as well as 

6) the development of emotional resiliency."
