Happy 4th of July Weekend, Friends!
Happy Birthday, America!
Wishing you all a joyful and meaningful holiday weekend! Whether you're gathering with loved ones, enjoying a cookout or fireworks, or simply taking a quiet moment to relax, I hope this Independence Day brings a sense of honor and gratitude.
We owe immense thanks to our Founding Fathers and to our military, who have continued to defend those ideals throughout history.
Every time I hear our National Anthem, I’m reminded of their bravery and sacrifice. It fills me with deep appreciation for the freedom and security we have in our country.
Speaking of our anthem, this week, on July 1st, several Hallmark stars gathered at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, for a special fan event, including Ginna Claire Mason, Nikki DeLoach, Taylor Cole, Wes Brown, Andrew Walker, and Benjamin Ayres. Wes and Ginna Claire announced their upcoming Christmas movie, A Newport Christmas, Wes threw out the first pitch, and Ginna Claire beautifully sang our cherished National Anthem. See highlights of this below!
Also, to celebrate and honor America, I’ve gathered some of the special TV events, festivities, movies, and more that will be airing this 4th of July weekend. See them all below...

Movie Reviews:
🎄 Unwrapping Christmas Tina’s Miracle is family friendly. I did like this movie. I felt it was a little slow at first but glad I finished it. It Inspires you to self reflect and to not let the past dictate your future. -Elizbeth
🎄 Unwrapping Christmas: Tina's Miracle is a sweet movie, highly recommend. Hopefully the next 3 movies are also good. –Maria
🎄 Unwrapping Christmas: Tina’s Miracle is a sweet and lighthearted film centered around four close friends, Tina, Lily, Mia, and Olivia, who own and run their own charming gift-wrap shop, All Wrapped Up. Tina (Natalie Hall) finds herself drawn to a kind single father whose daughter has special educational needs. All of the friends become deeply involved in organizing the Christmas gala. A small note of caution: there is a mention of horoscopes by one character, Lily, but it's brief. Overall, it’s a heartwarming and cheerful Christmas movie. ~Net

I know this 4th of July weekend is a busy time for many, and I’ve been soaking up some sweet moments with my family too... but my heart has also been heavy, following the heartbreaking news out of Texas. I’ve been lifting everyone affected up in prayer, and I know many of you are following the news and praying, too.
ReplyDeleteThe devastation from the flash floods, especially at the Christian summer camp, Camp Mystic, is truly overwhelming. My heart goes out to everyone affected.
I’m praying for the safety of the rescue teams and holding on to hope that survivors are still out there, waiting to be found.
May God bring comfort, strength, and peace to everyone impacted.❤️
Amen, Net! I feel especially sad when it's young lives that are lost!
Delete“I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my Hope.” - Psalm 13:5 (NIV)
ReplyDelete“ Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his love endures forever" - Psalm 136 (NIV)
ReplyDeleteI didn’t know about this. So sad, praying for them.
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone here had a nice day celebrating the birth of our country and honoring the men and women who fight to preserve our freedom! Our city loves to celebrate!! We can hear fireworks all over and was able to watch a professional show on the side of a road. No crowds, perfect view, and no traffic!!
ReplyDeletePlus we found out we are expecting another nephew or niece!! Baby #3!! I’m so excited!
Abigail, congrats on Baby #3! Keep us posted during these upcoming months!
DeleteSo sad. 💔 so many young lives lost at the camp and little girls still missing.
