Movie Review: Kit Kittredge

Last Friday we watched Kit Kittredge. It was a pretty good movie! I would give it 4 1/2 stars out of 5, only because there was no reason to put in a child’s movie a  dance instructor, Miss Dooley, who batted her eyelashes at the magician every time she saw him, who thankfully paid her no attention.

 Here is what I liked about the movie:

• I liked that there was no disobedience in the movie. That was nice.
• I also liked how there was no boy/ girl stuff.  Not that there was any in Felicity, Molly, and Samantha.
• I loved how Kit obeyed and served her family and boarders even when times were tough.
• I also liked how that they stood up for what was right even when others did not.
• And, finally, I liked how Kit persevered even when it was tough.

I really liked the movie. Here is a little blurb about it:

Kit Kittredge is a young girl growing up during the Great Depression. Everything is fine until, BOOM, her dad loses his car dealership and has to go to work in Chicago and they have to take in boarders. Then someone steals all their money! They just about lose their home when Kit, Ruthie, and Stirling go about to try to catch the thieves! Will they succeed?……..

Count It All Joy

Do you have trouble counting it all joy? I do! I just finished listening to this Odyssey. HERE Even though we do not agree with everything presented, it certainly is a reminder to COUNT IT ALL JOY!

Just thought I would give you a reminder to count it all joy, even when:

Brothers are teasing,

Sisters are whining,

Babies are screaming,

Mother is telling you a million things to do,

Father needs help in setting the table,

Grandma needs someone to help her weed,

Grandpa wants a batch of cookies,

And your school is piling up to mountains,

Your Aunt wants you to help her babysit,

Your cousins want you to go swimming on Friday,

Your uncle wants a cherry pie,

On top of all that, you are a week behind on your quiet time!

So, girls, you might want to consider stopping and praying, and asking the Lord for help!

Amen!

Well, I hope you enjoy listening to the “episode” and reading my poem!

Please drop me a line to tell me what you think!

Book Review Of The Week- Wandering May

We are now pleased to offer Grace and Truth Books, which will be in our shopping cart soon!

Wandering May by Mary L. Code

Wandering May is about a young girl who has to move to the city and be a young servant girl. She has only a small bookmark left that reminds her of her home. But God uses this bookmark in leading her to Christ. She goes from friendless to making friends. God also uses Ernest, Nellie and Mrs. Bond to inspire her to lead Ellen to him. This is probably one of my favorite Grace and Truth Books and is a must read!

Have a great day!
