If I had to relocate to a new country due to the scenario in
this week’s assignment I would take a photo album/scrapbook, bible and cookbook. The scrapbook would allow me to have photos and memories of my family and
friends. The bible will allow me continue to study and practice my religion. My
cookbook would allow me to continue to cook and pass down traditional foods to
my children and others that I come in contact with in my new country.
If I found out upon arrival that I had to leave two of the
items behind I would leave the cookbook and bible because I can rely on my
prior knowledge to get me through cooking and God is always with me and I can
practice my religion without having to have the bible on hand.
Insight that I have gained this week is that I hadn't thought
about what I would truly do or take if I had to leave my home country and live
somewhere new due to a catastrophe. I have seen it many times on the news and have
close friends who had to relocate as a result of Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana
but I don’t think it really sank in as to what they went though until I put
myself in that place this week. I will never take not having to do this (sudden
relocation) for granted again.
Andrea,
ReplyDeleteI had not truly though about what I would do either. This assignment really made you think. I discussed this with my husband, and he was like what would we do. We have to stay prayerful and know that if we would have to go through this type of catastrophe the almighty is in control. I like that you stated that you would use your prior knowledge of the bible to get you through.
Andrea,
ReplyDeleteGreat three items you would choose to bring with you. This was a great assignment to really make you think about what you would do if you had to suddenly relocate. It is difficult to think about but really is something that should be thought about in the off chance something does happen. Thank you for your post and insight
