Please Note: UPtv will have a new movie premiere with Trevor Donovan, whom I know many of you here like, but I want to caution that this movie is rated PG-13 for violence, bloody images, and suggestive material. UPtv may or may not edit out some of this content. Viewer discretion is strongly advised on this movie. Please see a review from our friend, Abigail, below.

Movie Review:

🎬 Where the Wind Blows - Warning: You all know how much I love Trevor Donovan, but I have to warn you about this movie (Where the Wind Blows). I saw it a couple months ago and I was shocked how much needed to be skipped. It was very sexual. I won’t mention the scene for the sake of sparring you, but I would advise you to pass on this one. This is not a Christian film despite what they say. I was saddened and disgusted. Sorry, that was difficult for me to write, especially about Trevor, but I felt the need to tell you the truth. Many will be tempted like I was just seeing his name. ~Abigail

Oh, I hope you all have such a lovely Easter weekend!

In addition to it being Easter, which is such a deeply meaningful time for all of us Christians, Good Friday is also my birthday, so I'll be celebrating both Easter and my birthday with my precious family. And I know some of you dear friends, who visit here, have family & friends celebrating, too... so a very Happy Birthday to all of them, too!

Easter is such a beautiful reminder of God’s incredible love... shown through His incredible sacrifice. When we turn to Him, we can find forgiveness, freedom, and the promise of eternal life. And if you feel it on your heart, I've included a prayer below if you'd like to invite Jesus into your life.

I pray you all have a

Blessed Easter

and Resurrection Sunday!

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.”

~John 11:25-26

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

~John 3:16-17

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!

Blessings in Disguise

Storyline via Great American Family: Set against the fast-paced world of high fashion and the enduring charm of small-town life, Blessings in Disguise follows Katie (Robins), a driven New York fashion designer with only three weeks to develop a collection that could launch her brand to national prominence. Under mounting pressure and searching for inspiration, Katie returns to her hometown where she chooses an unexpected venue to unveil her work – her late grandmother’s beloved seamstress shop, Charlotte’s Thread.

As Katie breathes new life into the quiet storefront, she uncovers the remarkable source behind her grandmother’s handmade designs: carefully selected Scriptures, lovingly stitched by hand and hidden inside every garment.

Along the way, Katie reconnects with Luke (Elliott), her first love and now a gifted furniture designer and woodworker whose designs are rooted in craftmanship, patience, and purpose. As their lives intertwine once more, the two discover that inspiration is not found in deadlines or demand – but in the timeless values of home, heritage, and hope.

Wishing you all a joyful and rejuvenating Palm Sunday weekend filled with His Spirit... as our hearts turn toward Easter and the hope it brings! Knowing that Jesus gave His life for us and rose again fills our hearts with such deep joy and hope!

I am so looking forward to seeing the Easter-themed movie Blessings in Disguise. It looks like such a meaningful story about faith and pursuing the dreams God places upon our hearts.

It's also so nice that Crossroad Springs includes a beautiful, heartfelt Easter sermon. So grateful Great American Family blesses us with these faith-filled stories - perfect for viewing with your family this Easter holiday.

Also, it's the second week of the miniseries, The Faithful: Women of the Bible, on Fox.

And it's lovely to see a new royal rom-com movie, A Royal Setting, this weekend with Jen Lilley, who is the absolute sweetest and such a beautiful woman of faith. Jen has an inspiring Christian devotional titled Wake Up Your Faith - see details at Amazon!

Wake Up Your Faith
Jen Lilley

I also must share Danica McKellar's lovely review of Jen Lilley's devotional: "Jen is a treasure. I’ve only just begun reading her devotional, and already it feels like a close friend taking your hand, giving it an encouraging squeeze, and walking with you toward something deeper. Jen writes with vulnerability, sharing her own struggles with honesty and grace. Her commitment to helping the reader feel closer to God is evident, and I’m proud to call her a longtime friend!"

God's blessings to you all

on this Palm Sunday Weekend!

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King...

The next day, the great crowd that had come for the festival heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem.

They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting,
“Hosanna!”
“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!”
“Blessed is the king of Israel!”

~ John 12:12&13

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!

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...

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!

Happy Easter to You All!

☀️ 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

"Jesus said unto her,

I am the resurrection, and the life:

he that believeth in Me,

though he were dead, yet shall he live."

~ John 11:25

✝Have a Blessed Easter Sunday! 🐇 Enjoy these Easter Movies and Specials on TV!

As Christians reflect this Easter, we acknowledge that God loved us so much that He sent His Son, Jesus, to be crucified, buried, and raised on the third day - so that when we repent, we can receive God's forgiveness, be saved from the penalty of our sins and experience eternal life with Him!

UP-TV will be celebrating Easter with religious films and more... including The Greatest Story Ever Told, from 1965, and The Passion of the Christ, which became an instant classic the moment it hit theaters in 2004. I remember watching the first showing at our local theater, in which every seat was filled. To this day, it is still one of the most powerful, impactful films I have ever seen of the life of Jesus! (Please note: due to violence, this movie is not suitable for children.) The Passion of the Christ is available on DVD and Streaming.

Sunday, April 21, 2019

Or, if you're unable to watch on Easter Sunday,

there will be an encore airing:

Wednesday April 24, 2019 at 5pm/4c.

Unfortunately, ABC will once again, NOT be showing the Peanuts Gang in "It's the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown". For those of us who love dear ole Charlie Brown, we'll have to pull out our DVDs again this year - or we can also watch via streaming - see here!

I pray we all take time this Easter - to enjoy family, Easter egg hunts, lovely spring colored dresses and suits (which I enjoy very much!), but much more importantly, in our hearts, may we fully realize and remember on Easter Sunday morning, when the stone that sealed the tomb was rolled away, Jesus was resurrected!

On that day, long ago, Jesus overcame death so that those of us who trust in Him could also overcome death and one day live with Him in Heaven for all eternity.

May the joy of that promise fill us up to overflowing and flow out of us this Easter!

I hope you and your family
have a Joyous, Blessed Easter! Net
