- Will It Make A Difference?



WILL IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?!
Ho, Ho, Huh?!

Christmas is right around the corner. I realize some have already completed their gift buying but for those with shopping still to do, instead of buying frivolous goo-gaws, consider giving something that MAKES A DIFFERENCE this year.

You're aware of the shift that has taken place in our economy, our country, and our world, right? Then why not give accordingly?




What is the LIFESAVER® bottle?

The award winning LIFESAVER® bottle is the world’s first all-in-one ultra filtration water bottle. Now anyone, anywhere can be confident they are consuming only clean, pathogen free water.

The LIFESAVER® bottle — Filters all microbiological contaminates including H1N1 (Swine Flu) without chemical additives.

Q. Can the bottle filter salt water?
A. No, the LIFESAVER® bottle will not filter out salts from the water.

Q. How often do the filters need to be changed?
A. LIFESAVER® UF cartridges generally only need to be changed upon expiration. The 4000UF cartridge is rated to last for up to 4000 liters (1056 US gallons) of water and the 6000UF is rated to last up to 6000 liters (1585 US gallons). The Activated Carbon Block (secondary) filter, recommended for use in situations where chemical residues, heavy metals, or other endocrine system disruptive compounds are present, should be changed after 250 liters of use (66 US gallons).

Q. Will it protect against Cholera?
A. Yes.

Q. Will it protect against cryptosporidium?
A. Yes.

Q. Is there a chance the bottle could break down or produce less clean drinking water through repeated use?
A. FAILSAFE technology ensures that when the cartridge has expired, the system shuts off, preventing contaminated water from being consumed.

Canned Bacon
Yes, fully-cooked bacon in a can!

Looking for something for your favorite camper? Or maybe a way to spice up all those dried beans many of us have in storage? With a ten year (minimum) shelf life, canned bacon is an out-of-the-ordinary gift that can be there when it's really needed. Whether for a taste boost or a psychological lift during difficult times, canned bacon is worth your consideration.

Unto the Least of These

Perhaps as you look around you realize the ones you love have all they need - and more. Rather than give more 'stuff' you may want to give (and receive) the experience of making a difference. Below are a couple ideas/opportunities for just that.

Heifer International - Help a family begin the journey out of hunger and poverty to self-reliance. In time your gift of a flock of chickens or geese (for $20), goat ($120), or a multitude of other animals, will not only bless one family but a whole community. The program is designed for the original recipient to 'Pass on the Gift' by giving to someone in their community the first female offspring from the original Heifer Gift; that person then does the same and the process is repeated over and over until many families benefit from your generosity.

You can give your gift in the name of anyone on your list - and encourage them to do the same instead of giving you more of what you don't need.




LIFESAVER® Bottle Disaster Relief Assistance - You can donate the means of fresh water for people struggling in disaster areas. At the website in the upper right corner are links to the most recent emergency needs (currently the Philippines and Sumatra) ; follow the links to send the way for acquiring life-sustaining water to those who desperately need it.



Henry B. Eyring

One of the sure signs of a person who has accepted the gift of the Savior’s atonement is gift giving. The process of cleansing seems to make us more sensitive, more generous, more pleased to share what means so much to us. . . .

“. . .Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me” (Matt. 25:40).

“Gifts of Love,” New Era, Dec 1983
