My Family Culture

If I had to choose the three most important things that represented my culture, I would have to definitely choose my bible, our family photo album, and my wedding rings.  The Bible is a book that will always give me encouragement, direction, and wisdom.  My family album would help me to remember the family that was lost or that I had never gotten to meet.  It would also allow me share our family history with my future generations.  My wedding rings is something that represents the unity between me and my husband, and something that represents one of the best days of my life.

I would feel torn and awful if I were to have to loose any of the three items.  They each give me something different.  The bible is a great resource and helps me to make wise decisions.  The album would give me physical proof of great memories and loved ones.  The rings represent a portion of who and what I am.  I would really have a hard time trying to decipher between which item would be most important.

I was looking through my house to figure out what I would take if this scenario would ever come true.  It was hard for me to make a decision.  I appreciate and love my home and family.  Deciding on what is most important is extremely difficult.  I have learned that I am not a materialist person through this exercise.  Although I would be deeply saddened, I love my family more than the material things.  Bad things happen, but the healing process is what determines what type of person you truly are.
