My MarchBaby and I went to view OctoberBaby for our birthday retreat date night. We invited friends, another mother and her two teen daughters. Dad and I usually do not permit any social dates during Lent but we thought that this occasion and cause warranted an exception.
I opted for this simplified birthday retreat as soon as March rolled in. The budget was already stretched and a heavy heart was made.
It was much more than just a retreat. It was an almsgiving of sorts. Dad and I knew that we would eventually watch OctoberBaby but we wanted to make a difference. We wanted to send a message to the entertainment industry that there are people out there who want wholesome movies and are willing to support a prolife message.
OctoberBaby is a powerful movie that hit me on many levels. It had a similar impact on Rose and her girlfriends. I encourage all teens, parents, youth ministers,…all prolifers to take the time and money to view this movie.
Hope to see it soon! You look great Lena!
We loved it! Rod and I saw it yesterday and hoping to get our teens to see it soon:) Happy, joyful, wonderful, blessed birthday to both you and your precious March baby! Shouting out a BIG “Ave Maria” for this most special day in Salvation History!
I so want to see this movie! Hopefully I will have time this weekend.
I agree- wonderful movie. Happy Birthday to your daughter- whenever I see a picture of her I think of how I want my eldest daughter to be like that as a teen! She is so lovely! I’m praying for you as you heal. God bless you!!!
