Dear friends,
This week has been a tender time for our nation, and like so many of you, I'm leaning on my faith, my family, and the simple joys of life that bring comfort.
Even though the world can feel dark at times, we must shine our light a little brighter by encouraging one another and showing God's love to those around us... loving our neighbor as ourselves.
May we enjoy life’s simple pleasures, treasure the special moments, and take time this weekend for worship and gratitude… it’s the little things that make life so sweet and meaningful.
If you're looking for a good story this weekend that can bring a little gentle encouragement to your heart right now, be sure to tune into an all-new faith-filled episode of "Crossroad Springs" on Great American Family Saturday night. There's something truly special about this series - from the way they speak openly about their faith, the heartfelt connection of family, to the spectacular view of God's open country!
And if you’re ready for a bit of sleuthing, the Hallmark Channel is premiering the all-new "Mystery Island: House Rules" on Sunday night.
In addition to the new programming, I've added to this post the classic Christmas movies airing Friday night along with some comforting movie classics I hope you'll enjoy.
See details below...

I second this. My heart is still gutted from what happened this week. I was desperately needing this voice of calm.
DeleteThank you Net for the message about “taking time this weekend for worship and gratitude.” I’m hearing more and more people say they are going to church on Sunday. If there’s any positive out of this, that’s it.
What a beautiful message Net! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWell, at least there's a new Crossroad Springs episode to watch, in case I don't do anything tomorrow to celebrate turning another year older. At least that's helpful.
