My Family Culture
If I was in the
middle of a major catastrophe that completely devastated the infrastructure of my
country, I would have trouble choosing three small items to take away with me.
The three items that I would chose would be my Bible, family photo, and a
locket that my daughters’ gave me for Mother’s Day. My first item would be my Bible because my
faith in God is what keeps me grounded. My family’s faith in God is what makes
us stronger. I can read my Bible and
remember that trouble don’t last always.
I may be in a catastrophic situation at that moment, but God didn’t
bring me this far to leave me now. The
second item I would bring would be a family photo. I would bring this photo in the event that we
got separated. This photo will remind me
that I can weather the storm because I have to survive for my family. The third item will be a locket that my
daughter’s gave me for Mother’s Day. I
would bring this because my girls are my world.
I am an only child so I cherish every gift and moment that I am able to
spend with them. If upon arrival to the
refugee camp I was told that I could only keep one item, it would have to be the
Bible. The Bible will provide a daily
guide for me and my family. It will give
us reassurance that the catastrophe is only temporary. I feel confident that it is the only item
that my family and I would need to take with us. This assignment really made take a step back
and look at what matters the most to me. I realized that all the material
things I really wouldn’t miss. I realize
that family is all that matters. If we can weather the “storm” together, we can
conquer anything. I pray that we never
experience a catastrophic event.
However, our faith in God will see us through any situation.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteI also would bring my bible with me to get in order with what the commandments as a woman. This assignment showed me the importance to what I need to survive and fear the Lord. The bible will be my defense for catastrophic events.
Candice,
ReplyDeleteI too said I would like to bring family photos so that I could remember others and so that when me and my family possibly depart earth from our new living area there will be memories left for others in history.
Candice,
ReplyDeleteI admire what you said about how you need your Bible to remind you that trouble does not last always. My Bible is an item I choose as well. I am reminded of an saying that BIBLE stands for B-basic I-instructions B-before L-leaving E-earth. Why not take it with you when forced to leave the country right? Enjoyed your post!
Hi Candice,
ReplyDeleteI was a little shaken about having to think about this type of situation but I agree the Bible was a great choice to make along with your other choices. I didn't have that on my list but now that I am thinking about it, I would hope that there would be a Christian church in the area that I could visit with other Christians I could fellowship with. Thank you for your insighton this topic.
