The three items I would take with me to my “host country”
would be the Bible, our family picture, and a picture of President Obama and
his family.
I would carry the Bible, to show that we have faith and know
that as long as we continue to believe everything will be alright, He will make
a way.
Our family picture is important because it shows how
different we are on the outside, yet how we are still one heart. We may fight
and argue but at the end of the day we are family and nothing can tear us down.
The picture of President Obama and his family represents the
struggle we as a family has gone through and that there is still hope for a
brighter day. Everything may not be perfect but if we continue to pray and
hope, anything is possible.
If we were told upon arrival we had to give up two of the
three things, the one thing I would keep would be my Bible. Even if the country
has a different belief system, my believes in my God are very important to me
and I would want to keep my faith strong by always reading and having my Bible nearby.
I realized that my family has its faults and we may always
fight with each other, but when it comes down to us becoming whole for a
greater cause, we don’t hesitate. I love my family and the many different
things each person represents. I love my family even more the wholeness we
always maintain.
