Why Provident Living and self-reliance?

Provident Living and self-reliance go hand in hand.  Elder Robert D. Hales said, "Provident Living is preparing for the ups and downs of life." Life is a journey and sometimes our trials are the hills and sometimes the valleys -- it is never on flat terrain.  If the landscape didn't change, our journey would ultimately be very boring!

Sister Julie B. Beck said, "We become self-reliant through obtaining sufficient knowledge, education, and literacy; by managing money and resources wisely, being spiritually strong, preparing for emergencies and eventualities; and by having physical and social and emotional well-being."

As a Stake, we are very excited to share our Provident Living ideas with all who live within our boundaries and provide a forum where we can all share with each other.  Enjoy the Plain and Simple Solutions blog uniquely designed for the Sandy Utah East Stake!
