A description of the three items you would choose
(1) the Bible
(2) the Family Photos
(3) a Radio
How you would explain to others what each of these items means to you
I would choose the three because the Bible is my life line and need it to continue my faith and walk with God. My family photos are dear to me because I need to carry and cherishes the members that were close to me. And the reason I chose a radio is because I can have the means of communication and listen to the news and music.
Your feelings if, upon arrival, you were told that you could only keep one personal item and have to give up the other two items you brought with you
Once upon arrival and told I could only keep one personal item I would choose the Bible. Choosing the Bible because I may be in a country or family who do not believe in true, real, and only God, therefore I need to continue to have something to read and memorize scriptures. Furthermore since I am a missionary to the Lord I also can witness to diverse of people.
Any insights you gained about yourself, your family culture, diversity, and/or cultural differences in general, as a result of this exercise,
I am learned that every family serves some type of God but not exact same God I believe in and worship. Even if the person is atheism he serves some type of God because when we put any thing before him that's your God. Here in the state I live in now most diverse families do not go to church or serve idol gods. Also many culture differences may live a different way I do when serving God. Many cultures serve God in different stages and don't read nor study their Bible on a daily base.
Diane,
ReplyDeleteI see that your faith is strong and the center of who you are as a person. Your family culture was probably surrounded by faith and your religion. I, too, choose the Bible as one of my items. I believe that God is the center of my beliefs and values. I can see that this is also is a big part of what makes you you.
