My Family Culture

     If I were in a situation where my family and I had to move to another country far from my own and could only take three items with us, it would be our family Bible, our family album and our music.  We would take the Bible because the word of God is our foundation and it is what gets us through life.  I can’t begin to tell how much just reading Gods word and applying the principles has helped us down through the years.  The next thing we would take is our family Album. We have always been a pretty close family and every now and then we like looking at pictures and remembering good times.  In addition, the third thing is music; we would bring something that could hold as much music as possible, it is who we are, a musical family. 

     Now if we had to choose between the three items listed above, I would have to say our family Bible.  When it comes to the family album, it would be painful to loose photographs, but we can still talk about the good times.  As for our music, because we actually sing as a family group, we can write down our favorite songs and sing them on our own.  But when it comes to the Bible, even though some of the scriptures are planted in our hearts, we still find new revelation every time we read it; it has helped us through life. Personally for me, reading it every day is how I start each morning. It brings me Joy!

  1. Music is also a huge part of my family culture. My dad is a lover of jazz and big band. I have so many memories of dancing with him in the living room, listening to songs on road trips and praising the Lord listening to Gospel. It is amazing that no matter what our culture, three of us have chosen the bible as a item to take. I also learn something every time I read the word. It surely is a foundational piece in my culture.
