To all of my Christian friends, we will rejoice together on Easter Sunday, reflecting on the deeper meaning of the cross and knowing the everlasting joy that Jesus gave His life and rose again three days later so we can be forgiven of our sins and spend eternity with Him!
May this Easter celebration be a refreshing rebirth of our devotion and love of Jesus, and may we be filled with overflowing - of the fullness of God and want to share that incredible, unfailing, immeasurable gift of love with others!
The miracle of Easter is that when Jesus rose from the dead, we, too, have a new life when we trust in Him! If you believe and trust in that promise - that Jesus took your place, your punishment, on the cross, then His shed blood atones for your sins, and you are a new creation in Him!
For those of you who would like to know the full joy of receiving Jesus in your heart, I've included the prayer of salvation here for you...
(If you repeat these words and mean them in your heart, then you will be saved.)
If you said that prayer for the first time, God bless you, fellow Sister or Brother in The Lord! I want to encourage you to seek God's word for direction in your life. He has ALL the answers you need. Jesus died and rose again for you, so live daily for Him!
I pray you all will have a lovely, peaceful Easter weekend. If you have plans throughout the weekend at church, with family, or you'll be away from home, you may want to set your DVRs for some of these special faith-based programs/movies airing Friday through Sunday...
Great American Family will have a wonderful Good Friday lineup that includes an encore airing of their uplifting, faith-filled Easter film, Just in Time! You are *just in time* to see it, and I pray this film touches many hearts, as it has mine!
The Hallmark Channel will have the DaySpring premiere of their inspirational film, An Easter Bloom.
The powerful film The Passion of the Christ, which depicts Jesus' life and crucifixion, will have two airings on UPtv on Good Friday, following a special gospel music premiere with Actor Dennis Quaid.
The delightful holiday classic Easter Parade, along with The Greatest Story Ever Told, will air this Sunday on TCM and so much more. See all of the details below...

I am looking forward to celebrating our Risen Savior with my family, and I'm sure we will also be watching and rewatching some of the many wonderful Easter programs and movies airing this weekend.
Springtime is an earthly reminder, as we watch the flowers bloom and birds nest, how life renews and refreshes in this Spring season! New life is budding all around us! What a glorious time it is to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus!
While we will also have Easter baskets filled with goodies and Easter egg hunts in our home, our focus will always remain on the true joy of Easter Sunday... Jesus is Risen!
