Jun. 27, 2008 - Rosa of Linden Castle ~ Chapters 1-3
Yes, I am quite behind in the HSB Literary Club's discussions, but I think they are too! 
We are reading Rosa of Linden Castle, by Christoph von Schmid.
Wow. I have only read the first few chapters, and this story is impressive! Rosa's Mother is the perfect picture of how a mother should train her children. Her methods are definite and sure, and the best part of all is that practices what she teaches! What a beautiful example for Rosa to follow. In such a setting where she is taught to trace everything back to God, to care for the poor, to give up her own desires, and to obey every command, there is no doubting that Rosa grows up to be an estimable young woman. No doubt this is the most noted part of the first three chapters, because this is the way we all wish we lived our lives. Or at least I do!
Later when Rosa's mother dies, I thought it was quite a display of devotion and love for Rosa that, even though Rosa was a "practically perfect" child, Matilda still asked her husband to correct any faults that Rosa might have.
There are more events also, but even though they too were really good, I don't have any special comments on those.

The beginning of this book is such a wonderful picture of a mother daughter relationship that is filled with God!
I liked your thoughts.
Thanks for your thoughts on my college article. I appreciate it!
Love,

Hi,
I might go over and look at the Literary Club sometime. It sounds neat.
I was wondering if you had any tips regarding hope chests. I recently put together one, but dont have much to put in it. What kind of things do you like putting into yours?
Love,
Arya
