This is a great movie from several perspectives. For the Christian faith, it is a beautiful example of the role of possessions in our lives. It illustrates that Biblical principal that when we lose everything that our culture values, we can gain everything that God values and gives real meaning and purpose to our lives. We are reminded of the power of one person to make a difference in the lives of many and that salvaging abused children can lead to their salvation.

The movie is a must see for those working with foster children. It honors the noble and sacrifical work they to do and the need of our society to care and support our abused children for our sake and theirs.

The movie is a great reminder for us to look beyond ourselves to the needs of others. And in choosing to serve others, our own lives can become fulfilled and complete.

This is family viewing and with a very believable script. It deals with a bunch of issues that kids come across lots now. And it shows that people can change. It is refreshing to find decent movies out there. I am so done being "rolled in the gutter" by most movies.

This movie was about a woman who lost her husband and was left with nothing. Nothing but a house, A house that already had a family of foster children living in it. The Woman goes from thinking she has lost everything with the death of her husband to finding she has more then she could ever dream of, a family found just waiting for her. Ready to take her in just like they were.

This is a very touching movie about a recently widowed woman who had a stillbirthed
child, but was otherwise childless. She was quite wealthy, but finds out that her
fortune was lost, and only has left an old house in Georgia that is being used as a
foster home. She goes there with the intention of selling it, but soon finds it
her second calling in life to help take care of these, and hopefully future, foster
children. This is a fine family film, with a few generic religious moments, and
some humorous and sentimental sequences. The 5 foster children are quite good at
showing their troubled pasts, particularly the 2 teenagers, who are quite believable
when being angry and sullen. The foster parents are very plain everyday people,
no more saintly than their charges. While some scenes seem obvious or stilted in
dialogue with the supporting adults, and no doubt action fans will find this film
corny at best, I believe this will please the majority of people and families for
whom this was intended. And without giving too much away, those old enough to
remember Jane Wyman in "The Blue Veil" will see some similarity in the ending.

A very awarding and uplifting movie to watch because it show me How to forgive one another and to be set free it

Although not the typical high-budget Hollywood blockbuster, this down-to-earth true story perfectly illustrates how The Lord will transform our lives and what we can accomplish if we would only turn our lives and troubles over to Him. A must see for people of all ages and backgrounds!

A moving, inspiring, and hopeful movie! Recommend to all teens who think life is tough. There is someone for you who cares about you.

The movie reminds me of many Hallmark movies. Its a movie that shows how people of different lifestyles can adapt to one another in certain situations.

I was drawn to this movie because it was filmed in my grandparent's house (Mr and Mrs T. T. Patrick). My mom sold the property a few years ago and this was filmed there subsequent to that. It was great to see that the producers kept most of the interior as is. They even used a coffee cup that I took there about 32 years ago. On top of this, the movie had a nice theme.
