My Family Culture

In the event a major catastrophe has devastated the infrastructure of my country and I along with my immediate family have no idea where we will end up. I have been told that my host country is completely different from my own and I may have to stay there permanentaly. I am allowed a change of clothes and three other small items. These are the three items I would choose. My Bible would be my first choice. I have a relationship with Jesus and my I depend on my Bible for many things including God's wisdom and direction, His comfort, and His word. My second item would consist of my family photo album. There are many pictures near and dear to my heart. The third item I would choose would be my passport in the event I would be able to get out of there and come back home. Upon arrival, I am told that I am only allowed to keep one item. I would keep my Bible and hope the Lord would supply me and my family with passports to somehow get back home.

This exercise made me really think and put things in perspective. When compiling the list of things to take, I thought about make-up, my phone, and money. Then I realized what was most important. It also made me realize how differnt other peolple's items will be. Because even though we are alike in so many ways, we really are different and have different values.
