Besides the one change of clothes that I can take with me the three items that I would take with me would be, my Bible, a picture of my mother and I, and my old baby blanket that I still sleep with. I would take my Bible because of my upbringing in the church and as a Baptist. The Bible has great stories, the rules of life, and excellent advice. During this time of devastation the Bible will bring me comfort. It can also be read to others during this tragedy to bring them comfort as well.
The picture of my mother and I will be for identification as well as memories. My old baby blanket would be my sleeping aid because I may be in an unfamiliar place and this would also bring me comfort.
I would explain to people what these items mean to me and my family; and I would also explain to them how important it is to have things that you can have as keepsakes that remind you of your family culture.
Upon arrival if I am told that I can only bring one item with me I would be crushed and it would definitely be a hard decision to make. I would most likely bring my bible because of my faith in God that he would bring me through this tragedy.
Reading other blogs I have discovered that their are many people who would carry the word of God with them in this type of situation. It surprises me because in today's society I think that some people are so caught up on material things and not what really matters.
