Three things I would take with me if my family and I had to evacuate:
1. My Bible
2. My personal family collage
3. Grandma's recipe book
I would first take my Bible because my family is root in faith. I feel that it is necessary to keep this first in my life and also when I move, I would want to continue to teach my children so that they can also root themselves in Christ. Being a Christan is not a tradition but it is a standard that my family stands on. Next, I would take my family collage that sits in my living room. This collage has many family photos on it that will allow me to remember the special times me and my family spent together. It can also be passed down to my children that they can see and remember their family. Last, I would take my grandmother's recipe book so that we can still experience the traditional foods that my family has passed down. Some things in the recipe I would change due to health reasons but to have the recipes that my grandma wrote down is very special to me. If I had to choose one thing out of all to take I would take my bible.
When doing this assignment I realized how important culture is in each individual family. Culture allows our communities to be very diverse. I also realize that the diversity that lies within all of us is revealed daily.
Hi McKenzie,
ReplyDeleteI noticed that so many people would have taken a cookbook. I think that is a great idea. Your family Bible would be a strong representative of your Faith that would be especially important at that time.
Hi McKenzie,
ReplyDeleteI chose to take family photos and family recipes, as well. Pictures and food provide an avenue for family story telling with future generations! Great post!
Hi McKenzie! After reading your post, I realize the importance of families sticking together. I really enjoyed reading your post. I like how religion plays a huge role in your life. I would like to come over for some of Grandma's delicious recipes. My stomach is an excellent tool for learning about other peoples' culture!
