Friends, in light of all the natural disaster we are experiencing, I want to encourage you to be prepared. According to Biblical prophecy, these perilous times are inevitable.
   We have been warned through scriptures that these things will become more frequent. We are not to panic, but be prepared. This preparedness isn't just physically, but spiritually so that we can share with others the blessed hope of the return of Christ for His own.
   I have prepared a list of small necessities which can easily be packed into a small hand-held bag in the case of your car being stranded in a desolate location. It is lightweight in case you had to leave the car and walk for help. You may modify the list according to your particular need, family size and lifestyle. I am using my bag as an example. All toiletries are small sample or trial size.

Sandwich bag 1: toothbrush in its case
                           toothpaste
                           dental floss
                           mouthwash

Sandwich bag 2: washcloth
                           bar soap
                           body wash
                           shampoo
                           conditioner
                           gel
                           comb
                           disposable shower cap
                           deodorant
                           body lotion (doubles as shave cream)
                           disposable razor                          

Sandwich bag 3: facial scrub
                           makeup remover pads
                           moisturizer
                           conditioner
                           mirror
                           deodorant 

Sandwich bag 4: a few q-tips
                           a few cotton balls
                           a few individually wrapped moist towelettes
                           chap stick
                           sun screen
                           bug repellent
                           hand sanitizer
                           spare sunglasses
                           spare prescription glasses or readers
                           disposable rubber or plastic gloves

Sandwich bag 5: a couple band aids
                           Neosporin
                           peroxide
                           individually wrapped alcohol swab
                           rubber band (doubles as tourniquet)
                           couple days vitamins
                           Prescription meds.                          

Sandwich bag 6: travel hair dryer
                           travel curling iron
                           small Bible
                          
Sandwich bag 6: small pop-top can tuna
                           packet crackers
                           bottle of water
                           fruit roll-up
                           pack of gum

Sandwich bag 7: copy drivers license
                           emergency contact numbers
                           spare keys
                           credit card and bank info
                           spare coins
                           flashlight
                           map 
                             

You can see through each bag to identify its contents plus the baggies keep everything from damage if something spran a lead. All individual sandwich bags placed in one waterproof handbag takes up less than 12" and weighs less than two pounds! 

If you have a baby or children a quart size storage/freezer bag will hold a pamper, binkie, ora-gel, rattle/toy, etc. 

You will be prepared to help until rescue arrives if you happen upon an emergency. Consider praying for the victim and leading them to Jesus or if they are already born-again, comforting them with scripture.

If you have to leave your car, the bag will be lightweight and a God –send. Better safe than unprepared but always pray traveling mercies over yourself and family, knowing God gives His angels protection over the heirs of Salvation. Blessings.
