My Family Culture


Three items I would bring with me if there was a major catastrophe and I was relocated to another country without any say so would include a Bible, family portraits/ identification and insurance papers.

The Bible is important to my family and me. It reminds me of the faithfulness of God. God reminds us in the scriptures of the promises he has for those who are faithful to Him and His word.
I will always be reminded of the people that are dear to my heart with family portraits and identification. This would give me the strength to continue on the journey of life taking one day at a time. Hopes of there being a better day when our lives will be back to normal. If anything was to happen and the family was separated are lost identification would be shown in hopes of reuniting lost members of the family.

Insurance papers would be of importance if a family member or I was to die. I would not want them to be burdened down with how they are going to deal with the cost of burial. They would have insurance papers that would be submitted to take care of expenses that occur when someone dies. They would even have some money left over for themselves.   

If upon arrival could only keep one of the items I brought that were dear to me it would be the Bible because my family would be that with me. The Bible is very uplifting and I would be able to view scriptures that remind my family and I that we are not along and that all of our steps are order by God.

Insights gained would be how committed to our religion and how my family and I rely on the word of God to get us through every situation we may face. Also how we rely on the word to function and get us through life.

  1. Ebony, Very good post The bible is a good one to take with you having the word of god beside you will get you through all the ups and downs. I never really thought of insurance paper, but that is a good one as well.

  2. I noticed that you chose some items that are very sentimental and mean a lot to you and your family, but you also were logical and thought about how to take care of your family once you were there. I did something similar with my post!
