I found this precious box set of all of LMA’s Little Women series books at Sam’s today ($13 🎉). The first two books in this set together are what I had read as Little Women overall. They do not appear to be abridged from what I have found in a quick comparison to my hefty vintage copy.
I’ve been wanting to continue on with the other books, plus I want Mya to read Little Women eventually and these copies are a bit more bite size and not so overwhelming-so a win all around! 💕

Chapter 30
“Many wise and true sermons are preached us every day by unconscious ministers in street, school, office, or home…Amy’s conscience preached her a little sermon from that text, then and there; and she did what many of us do not always do-took the sermon to heart, and straightway put it in practice.”
This jumped out at me. How easy it can be to miss what God is teaching through our everyday lives! And how hard it can often be to take lessons to heart and put them into practice without grumbling.

I’m really enjoying re-reading this, and doing so nice and slowly! I tend to gobble up books lol.
As it progresses I am realizing how much more this story means to me as an adult and a mother. I guarantee I didn’t notice or appreciate Marmee’s love and guidance nearly as much as a child, and wouldn’t have realized she was such an example to look up to. 💕

I’m ready and on time for once. Let’s do this! 😂

I’m over here never quite jumping in, but I borrowed this one from Becki and enjoyed it so much!
The parts about learning to be content in receiving really got me thinking. I am a natural gift giver but am not great at receiving without feeling inner guilt or like I’m undeserving. I spent some time thinking through what the author said, and in my case it truly doesn’t stem from pride but from a fierce case of self-reliance due to many factors of my upbringing. So it really challenged me to be more open to receiving blessings and asking for help when I need it!

I’m starting Ch 38! It was a good reading and baking day. 🙂

I have to think about and unpack these questions. But that makes me love them! 🤔

I definitely need some Marmee level patience most days too!

I’m enjoying rereading it so much! I’ve forgotten so much since childhood that it’s basically a new read. 😂🥰
