This is one of my all time favorite movies... If this movie doesn't touch one's heartstrings nothing will. This movie never fails to bring tears to my eyes throughout for several reasons no matter how many times I see it. One of the reasons is that it reminds me of the way my mother and father were many, many years ago when I was very tiny. I was a very loved and very prayed for only child once upon a time.
Another thing that grabs at my heart is how precious and sweet the culture was then. We live in a time where there are so called 'Christian' movies made with all manner of curse words in them, God's name in vain even along with bedroom scenes, the proverbial poor frog in the pot of heating water. We cannot believe what so called Christians will accept and allow in their homes!
There is a scene in the movie, Penny Serenade that shows a school Christmas play, oh it's so beautiful, so sweet and innocent, the music and the angelic voices of the little children, so Christ centered. Why don't people desire this any longer? We do and we intend to keep our home in that very atmosphere, it's a much more peaceful way to live in a sweet spirit that honors the Father, where Jesus would be welcome and that God will bless. I trained our daughters to also appreciate this sweet spirit, honoring Christ and I think they try to do that in their homes now. We do not have to bow before this culture. Why would we do that?
What is our plumbline? Have we gone off course somehow? Are we True North? I hope and pray so.
Scene from Penny Serenade. Irene Dunne, Cary Grant and wonderful Beulah Bondi..What is there not to love about this winning most wonderful combination? Look at this wonderfully sweet little baby!
My Mom and Dad after their honeymoon. I would say around 1953-1954. I was always so proud of my parents when I was a wee little thing.
My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed Penny Serenade, especially enjoying it colorized, I love their little home, the sweet little birthday gathering, oh just the way they dressed, so sweet and pretty... Just the way things were...I know. I was there so to speak.
