My Family Culture


The three items that I chose are the Bible, a camera, and a 14 karat gold wedding ring of my great-great grandmother.  

In my family, we are Christians.  My grandmother and my mother are firm believers in reading the Bible.  My grandmother always told me that when you are lonely read the Bible; it has a lot of interesting stories.  She would always tell me that the bible can answer any question you have about life problems.  Every Saturday night we would read our Sunday school lesson together. I would let them know there are all kinds of stories like love stories, horror stories, and adventure stories.  I most definitely let them know this is the Bible I believe what it say I can be, I can do what it say I can do, I can stand on his words in Jesus name.

The camera I would explain that I love to take pictures.  My grandmother, my uncle, my aunts, and my mother all love a camera.  They necessarily did not like to get in the pictures but they love to take pictures of others.  The camera is a little machine that gives you a picture of life and how it is and how it was. 

The 14 karat gold wedding ring is a symbol of the family circle that begins at marriage.  It can never be broken when it is solid and have a special bond.

Once I am at my destination, and I had to give something up, it would be the ring and the camera.  I would explain that the Bible is very binding and I would stand on the word of God forever because it never fails.

You know I really did not realize that these things are in my family so strong.  I just remember my grandmother being the strong person in the family and always trying to keep us together with the word of God.

  1. The fact that you would bring the wedding ring really touched me. In todays world when its rare that people stay married, I believe that it is important to remember what marriage is suppose to mean.

  2. Myra,
    the bible is truly the item that should be held onto. While doing this assignment , I thought about the movie 'The book of Eli' starring Denzel Washington. If you have seen the movie, think of how he carried that book!
