I hope we all take a moment this Easter to cherish in our hearts that on Easter Sunday morning, when the stone was rolled away from the tomb, Jesus rose again!

May we pause to reflect on the profound love God has for us, shown through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, who was crucified, laid to rest, and rose again on the third day. When we turn away from our sins, we can receive God's forgiveness, be freed from the repercussions of our wrongdoings, and look forward to eternal life with Him!

If you would like to ask Jesus to come into your heart, I've included a special prayer of salvation below.

I hope you all have a

Blessed Easter

and Resurrection Sunday!

**********************

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."

~ 1 Peter 1:3

Prayer of Salvation:

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.)

"God, I know I am a sinner.

I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross.

I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me.

I now receive Jesus as my Savior.

Forgive me Lord of my sins.

I thank You for the the gift of salvation

and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace.

In Jesus name, I pray...

Amen."

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!

Movie Reviews:

🔎 Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries: Blessings in Disguise Review.

I’ve always enjoyed the Amish movies this real life couple have filmed, but unfortunately this one bored me. Nothing interesting happened. The mystery itself was easy too. I thought Levi’s excuse for not telling his alibi was weak and thought it was odd when the more mature Amish woman Naomi was lying to the motel manager to sneak into a room. I know we all sin and have our moments of stumble, but it seemed strange to see an adult baptized Amish woman in that way.

It was a very clean family friendly film and it had genuine kind characters, it just really lacked the suspense you need to be a mystery and the acting could be better. ~Abigail

🔎 I completely agree with you on the Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries movie. Like you, I am a fan of their other Amish movies. My husband and I have watched them multiple times. They are really good movies. However, I also found their new mystery movie to be quite boring. Nothing really happened. My husband liked it more than I did. The storyline plodded along. We figured out who did it early on. The acting could have been better. The only positive thing I can say is yes it was clean. But that is it. I was so disappointed because I was expecting so much more given how great their other movies have been.~Joan

🔎 Sugar Creek Amish Mysteries: Blessings in Disguise – The actors in this movie are all great and it was interesting to watch the amateur sleuthers (as usual) figure out important clues before the police.

Just so you know…this is not the typical murder mystery. This is a missing person case.

Note: I’ve had some people ask me about this. In this movie the Amish people refer to God as Gott. Well, in the Amish community, this is common because they often communicate in the German language, in which Gott means God.

No spoilers here on the mystery… but in the end, I thought it was rather odd who the guilty person was, and I’m still wondering if this person and those who knew about it will face any sort of punishment for the crime of kidnapping. That part of the story was very strange, in my opinion.

Overall, I liked the lead characters, and based on the title being plural, it sounds like there may be more Sugarcreek Amish Mysteries to come. ~Net

Blessings to You All 

during this Holy Week~

Good Friday through Resurrection Sunday!

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.)

Prayer of Salvation:

"God, I know I am a sinner.

I believe Jesus was my substitute when He died on the Cross.

I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and resurrection were for me.

I now receive Jesus as my Savior.

Forgive me Lord of my sins.

I thank You for the the gift of salvation

and everlasting life, because of Your merciful grace.

In Jesus name, I pray...

Amen."

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.

🌷✝ Easter Movie Reminder: Watch "Just in Time" TONIGHT on Great American Family ✝🌷 Details Here:

Great American Easter is set to arrive on Great American Family tonight with the network's first Original Easter film, Just in Time, a Candace Cameron Bure Production starring Laura Osnes, Greyston Holt & Peter Bryant!

This inspirational film embraces faith, hope, joy, and peace.

Synopsis via Great American Media: 

In Just in Time, Hannah (Laura Osnes) and her husband, Rowan (Greyston Holt) have focused all their time, energy, and attention into trying to have a baby. The pressure to complete their family starts weighing heavily on their relationship. The couple is left questioning if having a child is the right thing to do and if they are still right for one another. When Hannah receives a call from a stranger, named Franklin (Peter Bryant), who claims to have discovered an antique on the beach bearing an inscription unique to Hannah and Rowan, she reluctantly agrees to meet him to look. Franklin is certain the watch is a long-lost heirloom from Hannah’s family. In the end, Franklin’s patient approach helps Hannah see that the answers to all she seeks will be revealed in God’s time.

Movie Trailer:



Laura Osnes expressed her own joy in creating this film to her Instagram followers with this uplifting message, "It was such an honor to bring this meaningful story to life, and we can’t wait to share it with all of you this Easter. #JustInTime follows the story of Hannah & her husband Rowan, as their struggles with fertility cause a near-breaking point in their relationship. Through a mysterious and unlikely turn of events, Hannah realizes her need for control, and questions how to ultimately surrender and trust God’s perfect timing in an effort to restore her marriage."

A post shared by Laura Osnes (@lauraosnes)

In addition to Laura's lovely statement about her own divine providence in filming this movie and how God orchestrated each piece of the puzzle for this well-known singer and actress to participate, Laura also received these encouraging responses from her film's Producer, Candace Cameron Bure, and her Great American Family family members.

Candace Cameron Bure:
"You are so beautiful in this film!! What a blessing to be creative with you all ✝️. Can’t wait for everyone to watch!"

Danica McKellar:
"I'm so excited for this one!! 😍"

Cameron Mathison:

Loreili Hutch:

I can’t wait to see you in this role! What a beautiful tribute to your cast and crew. Love you! ❤


Laura Osnes' followers are equally excited!

One wrote, "I loved your GAF Christmas movie, @lauraosnes and I can’t wait for this very special Easter film. I know it will be meaningful.

Another shared, "What a lovely note about this movie and the people you’ve shared it with. So excited to see you in a new GAF movie. Your kindness and talents are such beautiful gifts for us all to see."


It's abundantly clear that many viewers yearn for faith-based and family-friendly film content, and what better time to bring such a film to viewers than at Easter time? I pray this is one of those movies that transcends off the screen and moves many hearts—nudging them toward The One, Jesus, who gave His life on the cross as a ransom for our sins!

Just in Time premieres Tuesday, March 26, 2024, at 8pm/7c, and the film will have an encore presentation on Good Friday!

Since GAF and Bill Abbott launched this channel, I have hoped that something Special would reflect the Commitment that had been promised. Please don't get me wrong, I have enjoyed some of the movies, but this one was Exceptional.

** I loved the "Old school Homemade Ice Cream" scenes and Buttercup❤️❤️ ~ Kathy❤️Texas

🌼 "Just in Time - Yes, the movie was incredible. It motivated me to be more intentional about these 3 days around Easter. The movie was so heartwarming with such wonderful storytelling. People think these “coincidences” can’t happen but God has given me such moments in my life. I appreciated the STRONG sharing of Godly truth. ~Anonymous

🌼 "Just in Time" is a truly beautiful movie. I don't have enough words to describe how much I loved it. The message was so powerful. Laura Osnes brought a range of such deep emotions into her character. Such a beautiful scenery. I especially liked Easter beach service. So many words of wisdom. I just want to share my favourite one with you, if you don't mind: "Imagine life as a vast ocean and we are the sailors on an unpredictable voyage. We set our sails hoping for smooth waters and sunny skies, but more often than not we are met with waves of adversity that threaten to swallow us. It's easy to feel disheartened, scared. But there's always a lighthouse. That lighthouse is God". I love lighthouses so much and this quote was just something I needed. This movie is indeed in my heart. ~Oksanka~

🌼 Review: Just in Time -
Family-friendly? Of course -
Recommended? Most definitely! -

🌼 This movie is a winner from start to finish! So realistic and touching - how Laura's character goes from one who questions her faith to being a true believer in Christ! As Joan mentioned, both Laura and Peter were top-notch! I knew Laura was a good actress from her other films and stage roles, but here, she is fantastic - so convincing in all of the emotions she displays! You really feel the struggles she is going through! Also, Laura is a strong Christian in real life, and that is so evident here - you feel that her praying in this film is more than just her acting!

🌼 One minor quibble - if only they could have found a way to get her to sing! Oh well, maybe in her next film... ~Mark 25

🌼 I loved the movie. Very Inspirational and uplifting. Very appropriate for the Easter season. Laura and Greyston were excellent together. Please have more uplifting movies like this. Thank you so much. ~Ernie Frasier

🌼 My husband and I just finished watching "Just in Time". I can't get the movie out of my head. Wow! Just wow! What an incredibly realistic film. Laura and Peter both knocked it out of the park. I liked Greyston but I enjoyed the friendship between Laura and Peter more. Their dynamic was a sight to behold. :-) And, I got a kick out of seeing so many premier actors and actresses throughout the movie. :-) Candace should be very proud of this lovely gem of a movie. I understand why she was so passionate about sharing it with the world. In today's world, it is so refreshing to witness someone who is unafraid to be open and up-front about strong faith and belief in God. :-) ~Joan

🌼 Candace Cameron Bure Presents: Just in Time is family friendly about Hannah & her Husband named Rowan are trying to have a baby. When Hannah receives a call from stranger named Franklin who claims to have discovered a long-lost heirloom from her family, she sees that the answers to all she seeks will be revealed in God’s time. Some yummy homemade ice cream 🍨. Hannah meets Irene & Isabella; Isabella mentions how to make a marriage works, Anniversary & inscription; “Those that put their trust in God will never be disappointed”, on gold watch. Mark Brandon as a Pastor at the beach. This movie is so beautiful. ~Anonymous

🌼 Just in Time –Beautiful! This is one of those unique films that truly captures the heart of what Great American Family truly is! It’s not only a channel, but a special welcoming place that exudes warmth, love, emotion, and faith.

Laura Osnes truly shines in this all-new Easter film! The drama feels so real. The focus is on finding joy in life, while we place our trust in God to see us through any situation, good or bad.

Although Laura’s character, Hannah, often wavers in her faith, it’s obvious there’s still a glimmer of hope that remains in her heart. With profound interest, I followed the clues of the newly discovered watch, and how this journey of discovery sets Hannah on the path of new friendships and a brand new reawakening of her faith and marriage.

There are many memorable and touching scenes, but I’ll simply mention my two favorites. The first is when Hannah’s new friend, Franklin, does an act of kindness for two complete strangers, and explains, “Good Friday… Something was bought for me at a much higher price that I definitely did not deserve. Opportunities like this are just a small way to pay it forward.”

Another scene that I dearly loved was the beach sunrise church service. Words simply cannot express how beautiful this scene is that draws Hannah’s character back to the Lord. It’s a must-see!

This faith-based film truly touched my heart, as I’m certain it will many others. “Just in Time” has a wonderful ensemble cast and a heartwarming story filled with inspirational pearls of wisdom. I very much enjoyed the pairing of Laura Osnes and Greyston Holt. I agree with Mark; my only drawback was my desire to hear Laura sing, and since Greyston is also a wonderful singer, I kept hoping for a special duet. Otherwise, this faith-filled movie is captivating, cozy, and heartfelt, a perfect addition to our annual Easter viewing or at any time! ~Net

🌼 Just In Time - I suppose it was naive of me but I didn't really realise what this movie was about. I like both the leads but I was expecting a Rom.Com and of course it wasn't. We had already started watching before understanding fully so we continued but I just didn't get into it. Greyston Holt didn't have that big a part to play in it - I can appreciate his attitude at the start, it was as if he felt he was just a sperm donor. Not what I would usually watch and I don't ffel comfortable or that it is fair to rate it. Just not my cup of tea. Florence
