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.
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.
ReplyDeleteMyra,
ReplyDeletethe 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!
