I watched Anne of Green Gables tonight with my 3 darling daughters.  My dh and son are away for two days so we are doing special things with just the girls.  Anne of Green Gables is definately a girl movie and we loved it.

But it did leave wistfully wishing that my dc didn't have to grow up and face this world, the one we live in now where marriage is no longer defined as one man and one woman for life and where babies can be killed because they are inconvenient and where the average American looks to the government to take care of all our problems, refusing to see that only makes thing worse. 

I know things weren't always as wonderful 100 and 200 years ago as it looks in the movies, but I do know families and communities were strong and the laws of God were respected and I long for a day when that will be true again.  And I worry that my dc will suffer.  And once again I turn to God and ask for His grace to prepare them for what He has called them too.

My girls and I just watched this movie not too long ago, too. We watched the 2nd one and are awaiting the arrival of the third. Love it!
