The three items that I would choose to take would be:
1). A photograph of my family
2). My Bible
3). My Wedding Ring
The explanation to others of what each item means to me:
The photo shows my husband, our two sons and myself. My Bible is words of inspiration and during a catastrophe words of inspiration will be needed. My wedding ring is dear to me, it represents the bond that my husband and I have made to each other.
My feelings on having to give up two of the three items :
I would be upset, but I would have to do whatever is asked of me to make the situation as positive as it could be. I would choose to keep my Bible, I think that being able to read the word through out this terrible time, would be very helpful. The photograph means alot, but I have the memory of my husband and children embedded in my mind and the ring is a representation of a bond and it has sentimental meaning, but it can be replaced.
Any insights that I have gained as a result of this exercise:
As I thought about the three items I would take, it was kind of difficult to decide on what to take and why. I tried to take things that were small enough to carry, but I wanted things that had some type of meaning or represented my life, my family and how all of those things are possible.
Hi Lori,
ReplyDeleteI know it’s very hard to choose three items. I really enjoyed reading your blog. It was very interested. You chose the three most important items that you would like to take with you. In my situation I would have left the third one off due to problems that I won't explain :-). The bible is always with me no matter where I go.
Lori you wanted to take things that had some type of meaning or represented in life, in your family and how all of those things are possible, I know you chose one that is very meaning….The Bible!!!!! Great Post!!!!!
I know how you were thinking when you decided to take your Bible as the item you would keep.
ReplyDeleteThe word of God keep us grounded, and gives us the strength that might be needed to forge ahead. I pray we are put in that position. Great Post.
Lori,
ReplyDeleteAfter browsing through commments of our peers the items chosen were very similar. I too chose the bible, family photo album and my degree. Out of the three I chose to keep my bible. It is the only thing that never changes and provides hope when situations dictate hopelessness.
Hi Lori,
ReplyDeleteI think we all have the same ideas in mind. As colleagues, we will be able to relate to many ideas we learn and discuss in a productive and insightful way. Thank you for your post, and a great post it is!
