My Family Culture

The first item that I would 
take would be my Bible because it is vital to my culture and our beliefs!   
I would also take a dear family heirloom so that my children can have something tangible for them to pass on in the future.

The last item that I would take would be a photo album so that I can always remember the past.

I would explain to others the importance of these items by giving them a history of the items and how they were included in my life. If I had to give up 2 items out of these 3 I would do so willingly without hesitation just as long as I had the one that means the most to me. In doing this activity I have learned that I really don't have anything that is that important to me. I believe that the memories will live beyond anything else.

    I chose my bible also, the bible is what drive me also it is a motivational tool for me and a part of my value and beliefs. Whenever I am down I can go to this tool, the Bible and family is all we need, it is our motivational tool (the bible) we cannot do nothing without it. I also chose my family album this album is a lot of history.

    Stef,
    I also selected my bible and photos. I picked those two because I was raised in the church and the other would allow me to remember the past. My question for you is which one would you keep if you had to pick. I noticed that in your post you simply said the one that is most important to you.

    I love your post, the pictures bring meaning to how you feel! I have thought of this exercise in other ways when planning an evacuation and there really is no one 'item' that I absolutely need, other than those we need for survival.

    Stef,
    I also chose to bring a bible. It is interesting to read many of the people in our class chose to bring their articles of faith. This is an important part of a families cultures. It shapes how the other parts of the family culture is expressed.

    Great post. I agree with you. I really don't have anything that is so important to me that I just couldn't live without either. I too believe the memories are the most important.
