Family Culture
What would I take with me? I would say the three things I would choose to take would be my Bible, box of family pictures and my mother'ring given to me when my children were born.
I would choose the Bible because it is God's word. It helps us to live a better life and serves as a guidebook showing us how to live on the right path. The Bible is important in Christian worship because it is the foundation of faith. The Bible would serve as my guidebook to help me in another country to survive. My box of pictures would be family pictures that mean alot to me. It would include my wedding pictures and pictures of my children when they were born. These pictures would serve as a reminder of the family I love and care for. It would help me to get through each day by having those pictures to look at. My last item would be my mother's ring given to me when my children were born by my husband. This ring I would wear and it would be a constant reminder of how much my children mean to me and how much I love them. It would serve as a reminder that we are together no matter what the circumstances may be and that they will always be in my heart.
If upon arrival I had to choose I would take a family picture out of the box and stick it in my Bible because with the word of God in my hand I know that I would be able to get through the tough times and having the family picture in the Bible would let me know that my family is safe because God is on our side.
I have realized that my family culture is all about family being together and that we serve a great God who will look after us and protect us from evil. We are a family who believes spending time with each other is important and we want the tradition to continue for our younger generation as they get older.

Vicki,
ReplyDeleteYour post is very inspirational! I also selected a bible and I agree with everything you wrote about its meaning. A box of picture is very important and meaningful. I also thought of including jewelry, a chain my mother gave me for Christmas when I was fourteen. Fifteen years later I still wear the chain and it is very special to me.
Viki great post I enjoyed reading it- Family treasures are truly priceless look forward to learning more from you in the coming weeks
