Aww yes....
Ladies' Movie Night at my church.
And.....my daughter came with me.
Oh...but not only did she come with me...but she traded her shift at work to do so. Love her! That meant a whole lot to me.
I did tell her that she didn't need to do that though....making money was more important. I guess she didn't agree with me. Yup...she is much like her momma! She had originally agreed to come with me before finding out that she had to work. I think she was a little too slow with requesting the night off in advance. lol So, she traded her shift. How is that for making momma feel special? A pleasant surprise.
When people want to spend time with you, they MAKE TIME and NOT EXCUSES.
(With the power of social media, you can often learn that people's excuses are just that! Lol)
Anyways, we ended up inviting one of her friends (my daughter from another mother, lol) because we had an extra ticket. That's a whole other story I wont even get into. Let me just tell you that the whole thing worked out the way it was supposed to.
God is always at work! Giving us what we need and when we need it too.
Feature Presentation - Loving Leah!
A quirky love story revolving around the unexpected wedding and unconventional married life of a 26-year-old widow and her late husband's brother, a handsome 30-year-old cardiologist. (Imdb)
An excellent choice of movie to show at church.
Actually found the full movie we watched on YouTube...so thought I would share for those interested. (It's on Netflix too)
Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Great story with some laughs.
I was impressed with the organization of the event. I probably shouldn't have been though. My church really has its act together. I mean gheez...they printed tickets! lol Everybody just makes things work and tonight was no exception. When we walked in, they had a table set up to collect our pre-purchased tickets. Only $2, I might add. In some cases, we had our names to check off a list because it was such a great turn out that more tickets were sold than was printed. If you saw my church, size is no issue.
Next to that table, was a table set up with pre-packaged bags of flavoured popcorn. Three choices actually. I'm a white cheddar kind of girl. Lol With the popcorn you had a selection of three mini chocolate bars. Oh, but that wasn't all. You then got to select either a package of liquorice nibs or a package of nuts. We even had a selection of those - almonds, peanuts or cashews. Seriously! Oh, and lets not forget something to wash it all down. They sure didn't. Lol. Choice of soda, juice or water. Yup, there was coffee too. Man, they did good. Proud to call Cedarview my church. My daughters friend hasn't been to our church yet, so this was a great introduction for her. She had a great time. We all did.
So yeah, if you can spare the 90 minutes....watch the movie. I'm sure you'll enjoy it too. Trust me on this one. I'd love to know your thoughts.
