Chapter 5 verse title. Deuteronomy 6:7. I feel convicted when reading that scripture. Even though Bible memorization is part of our children’s education, I feel we could be doing more and doing it better.

I hate that I have not been active with this book. I am behind in the book but I am thoroughly enjoying it so far. In chapter 2 he describes dating in modern America as practicing for divorce. Giving the other person your time, effort, emotions, and sometimes physical intimacy just to move on to another partner when you want to.
Also the strange notion that so many young people think that if you marry young you are doomed to misery with no traveling. So sad that the advice being given delays these young adults to truly start living.

Marmee! She is my favorite. She is wise. She seems to have mothering down wonderfully!! I thought maybe the aunt because when the aunt came into the story each time I thought the situations were funny and amusing. 😂 I feel like Marmee had less parts than the other women but her lessons spoke to my heart.
My least favorite was Jo as well. She does everything that I would probably advise her not to do. I felt myself kinda annoyed every time she talked 😂
Anyone else feel chapter 38 when Marmee was talking with Meg?! oh my!! To my younger selfs heart. I felt it lol! Even more reason for me to enjoy her character. She leaves Meg saying, “If you think it seems good.” (Not saying I am right my dear do what I say) Such a sweet mother.

So I am behind. When our family fell sick I wasn’t able to keep up my fun read. I am now on chapter 26. Hopefully I will catch up this weekend! But MY GOODNESS!! Laurie doesn’t marry Meg! I completely thought he did. I kept waiting for Brooks to die on his way to the wedding to allow Meg to marry Laurie, but he didn’t! I am not sad that he didn’t die lol just surprised! I recited the character Belt off of ‘The Croods’, “dun dun dun!” I have so many questions and want to keep reading but my family has asked for food and help with math blah!! 🤣 So this story will have to wait until the next quiet time.

So I have never read this book and I have only seen snippets of the movie. The parts that I did see of the movie were not pleasant nor endearing. However, clearly I was taking what I saw out of context. I thought the burning of the hair was purposely done. I thought the relationships between the sisters were more rivalry than compassionate. I never saw love for their mother. Now that I am reading the book I see a sweet story evolving. I am happy to be reading this book! I have enjoyed it.
