If I were to be in a situation where
a major catastrophe had almost completely devastated the infrastructure of my
country which I don’t pray for in Jesus name. The first thing I would like to
go with is my Bible because I can’t do without it. As a Christian it’s my life
that I need to meditate on everyday in order for me to proper in all my ways.
The second one would be my family picture just to have a good memory of my loved
ones. Lastly, I would like to go with the jewelry given to me by my lovely mother
because it’s so precious to me.
I would definitely not be happy if they have to
tell me upon arrival that I could only keep one personal item and have to give
up the other two items because I found it difficult to choose only three things
in the first place talk less of having to go with one. I would feel as if I’ve been
disconnected from my loved ones.
Through this exercise I’ve been able
to see some of the things and people that are really important to me that I
never thought of before especially the word of God (Bible) and my family. They
both reminded me about my root and as I keep on remembering them, they will
continue to strengthen me.
I have really enjoyed reading the blog posts this week and learning what items everyone hold's so dear to their heart. I also chose to bring a photo album. Photos bring up so many happy memories and not having those photos to remind you of the best moments of your life would be very sad.
ReplyDeleteI think it's great that you chose jewelry given to you by your mother. I have a lot of jewelry that has been given to me by my grandmother, so I know how special those heirlooms can be. I was given an entire set of fine china from my grandmother as a wedding gift. It dates back to her great grandmother and is not only gorgeous and trimmed in 14K gold, but it's in the best condition and is one of my favorite things that I own. I had such a hard time choosing only three things!
Adebisi, I enjoyed reading your blog. It seems you have some very special items. I hope you never have to depart from them.
ReplyDeleteAdebrisi, I really enjoyed your blog. I think we decided to take about the same three things. Maintaining family lineage was really important to me. I wish I had jewelry or some type of item in that respect to remind me of my family, so I would definitely take the picture with me for the last item.
