"Sometimes Love Just Comes Softly"

Its not a new movie,you may have seen it, as it has been out since 2003. Its a beautiful story by author Janette Oke,which she wrote back in the 1980's! I read this series back then when my kiddos were small.
I had seen this movie once on TV years ago,but just recently bought the DVD. I have watch it over and over...its just one of those movies that does your heart and soul good. That's how it is for me anyway.
My mama still has a set of the books and I plan to read them again soon. If you have never read them,I think they would be worth your time. Are just watch the movies...there are eight in the series now,and two prequels as well. You can go here for more information on the series. This very first movie is my favorite of  all the ones I have seen thus far.

There is one part after Clark's barn has burned to the ground and Marty is having a hard time understanding how Clark's God, whom Clark loves so much,and is so faithful too, could possibly allow such bad things to happen to him. Clark takes Marty out to his church,which is just a bench in the field, and there gives a witness to her about God's love. He tells her that " It's not so much that God allows bad things to happen to us,but he gives the promise that he will always be there to help us when they do happen."  Its a beautiful promise...isn't it?
Marty's friend shares with her in one part of the movie that love doesn't always come with fireworks,then says to her "Sometimes Love just comes softly" ! As for my thought.... I have a feeling that ...that just may be the best kind of love there is.
