I love the "Anne of Green Gables" series. There is something about the stories that brings peace to my busy life. Who wouldn't want to live on a beautiful island with nothing to do but roam fields with your bosom friend? But then I think about how Anne's life was before she came to live in Prince Edward Island. I cannot imagine how it felt to live out her childhood as an orphan. I have been blessed with wonderful parents and I would not trade my childhood for anything. So I have decided that Anne had to go through a lot before she had the blessed life we read about! Though I guess it was not without its small curses! Though I could hardly imagine that being pursued by a boy like Gilbert for years could have been that dreadful! I guess that is a reminder to me not to let my pride get so out of hand that I spurn the very thing that could bring me great joy. This is just a couple of reasons why I love Anne.
