My Family Culture

MY FAMILY CULTURE

A major catastrophe has almost completely devastated the infrastructure of your country. The emergency
government has decided that the surviving citizens will be best served if they are evacuated to other countries willing to take refugees. You and your immediate family are among the survivors of this catastrophic event. However, you have absolutely no input into the final destination or in any other evacuation details. You are told that your host country’s culture is completely different from your own, and that you might have to stay there permanently. You are further told that, in addition to one change of clothes, you can only take 3 small items with you. You decide to take three items that you hold dear and that represent your family culture.

The three things I would want to take are as folows:


1) My Family Bible that has been passed down through our family from my mother to my grandmother, and now my family has the bible. This is something I have enjoyed to keep close to my heart, since she is no longer around. I know God is everywhere you turn, but it is nice to have something that means something to
you and your family.


2) Photo album of my grandchildren which means the world to me I would do anything to make sure they are
safe at all times. There is not a day that goes by I do not see one of my grandchildren or at least talk to them. I
am always taking picture to put into their scrap books for them to have when they grow up.


3) Hand made jewelry box this is something that I hold close to my heart it was hand made by my father who
has always been there for me through thick and thin. My dad means the world to me would do anything for him.

If I could only take one thing with me it would have to be my family Bible without having the Bible I would be
lost. I turn to the word of God when I am going through some trials and tribulation. The bible would be
something I could pass on to my children and it would have some kind of value.

I am not sure there was any insight gained only because the things I chose are things that mean a lot
to mean. I really did not think about what I would take because these are the three things that are so
dear to my heart and to my family.
