This Sunday, May 25th, also marks 7 months 'til Christmas Day!

Here at "It's a Wonderful Movie" we highlight every 25th day of the month - TOGETHER! - as we Countdown to Christmas! You can also join along!

If you'll be watching something Christmassy this weekend, please share in comments below.

In honor of Memorial Day, I will be watching the military movie USS Christmas starring Jen Lilley and Trevor Donovan.

USS Christmas was filmed across both North Carolina and South Carolina. Key locations included Wilmington, North Carolina, where the Battleship North Carolina stood in for the USS Polaris and Charleston, South Carolina, where the USS Yorktown was used for several shipboard scenes.

This patriotic film ignites a deep passion for country, honoring the bravery and sacrifice that define the American spirit.

I pray you all have a safe and relaxing Memorial Day Weekend. I'm incredibly grateful for our military, who have bravely fought to protect the freedoms we hold dear- freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and so much more.

I was heartbroken to hear about the tragic killing this week of a young couple, soon to be engaged, who were staffers at the Israeli Embassy in D.C. While we are fortunate to have freedom of religion, it's heartbreaking that we live in a world where hatred persists. My thoughts and prayers are with their families and loved ones of this couple during this difficult time. I'm praying that even in the midst of darkness, there will be the gentle, healing presence of His Light.

May God bless America, as we pray for peace at home and all around the world.

Wishing you a restful and meaningful Memorial Day weekend as we honor and remember those who gave their lives in service, and cherish this special time with family and friends.

God's blessings to you all,

Tuesday Thoughts Following Memorial Day and Prayer Request for Hallmark Actress ➤➤

Memorial Day -

I hope you all had a peaceful and relaxing Memorial Day weekend.

My family and I attended a Memorial Day ceremony that honored those brave souls in our military who made the ultimate sacrifice and their Gold Star Mothers and families. As stories were shared of their courageous heroism, tears filled all of our eyes, giving our already grateful hearts a renewed sense of gratitude for the incredible sacrifices made on our behalf for our freedom today.

When I hear the stories of war, I am always grateful to those in my family who served, including my Daddy, Grandpa, several Uncles (one was a Navy Chaplain), and Cousins. All returned home, Praise God! However, growing up, I always heard stories of how my Great-Uncle was never the same after returning home from World War II. He was on the frontline of the battle, and I can only imagine the horrors he saw. My heart goes out to those who return with not only physical wounds, but emotional scars, as well.

I pray Memorial Day will always remain a sacred day of remembrance and honor.



Storms -

I also wanted to mention that my prayers are going out to those across the Heartland, Midwest, Ohio Valley, East Coast, etc... where the storms badly hit over the weekend. It was heartbreaking to hear about the loss of life. I pray all of you and your property were safe. This has been quite a brutal spring with storm outbreaks of Tornadoes and strong winds. In fact, one of the storms that came through last week had a burst of strong wind that took down a large old maple tree in our backyard. Thankfully, it missed our home, but when it fell, it also damaged some of our wood fencing, which extends around our pastures and fields. We are grateful our damage is small and can be fixed, and our hearts and prayers go out to those who lost much more.





When Calls the Heart -

Briefly, I wanted to express how much I thoroughly enjoyed Sunday night's episode of When Calls the Heart titled Brother's Keeper.

When Elizabeth's brother-n-law, Tom, is in trouble and cannot repay his debt, Nathan spearheads an idea to bring everyone together for a Hope Valley choir festival fundraiser—Voices of the Valley. In this episode, there is cheerful, lively music from that time period and a beautiful, meaningful rendition of Amazing Grace. 

♪♪♪ 

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound 

 That saved a wretch like me! 

I once was lost, but now am found; 

Was blind, but now I see. 

♪♪♪ 

Overall, it was a delightful episode, and yes, it had a bit of romance with a very special dance, but more importantly, I appreciated how faith was an integral part of this story. Even the episode's title, Brother's Keeper, is a reference to scripture, Genesis 4:9. 

The scenes with Pastor Joseph and his brother, Jacob, who have been estranged for years due to a past disagreement, were especially enjoyable. Watching the two brothers renew their friendship and hearing Jacob's prayer over the Canfield's meal (after he admitted he hadn't attended church in years) touched my heart deeply and brought tears to my eyes. The mighty power of love and forgiveness never ceases to amaze me.



Prayer Request -



Also, if you follow When Calls the Heart on social media, then you have likely seen this news, but for those of you who haven't, the When Calls the Heart cast members are sharing their love and support for one of their own, who has had an unknown medical emergency. 

Mamie Laverock, who portrayed Rosaleen Sullivan on When Calls the Heart, the daughter of Molly (Johannah Newmarch), is currently in a hospital in Vancouver, Canada

To support their medical bills, her mother and stepfather have set up a GoFundMe page, where they recently shared this tragic update: "We are deeply saddened to report that on May 26th, Mamie, who has been in intensive treatment for the past two weeks, was escorted out of a secure unit of the hospital and taken up to a balcony walkway from which she fell five stories. She sustained life threatening injuries, has undergone multiple extensive surgeries, and is currently on life support." 

It is such a sad situation. If you'd like to give or read more details, visit Mamie's GoFundMe page.

Please join me in lifting sweet Mamie and her family up in prayer.

*See update on Mamie from May 30th in my comment below.

God bless you all,

Memorial Day holiday weekend!

On this Memorial Day, we pause and remember the sacrifices made by our military for the freedoms we hold near and dear today.

May we cherish those freedoms as we gather with family and friends and enjoy special times together during this unofficial kick-off to Summer!

There are no NEW TV movies this weekend; however, the Hallmark Channel will begin its *Passport to Love* movies next week at the beginning of June!

⭐️ Mark the 25th on May 25th -

I brought the twinkling Christmas lights back to honor this occasion!

This weekend, on Saturday, May 25th, we mark 7 months 'til Christmas! And, it's even sooner for Christmas in July movies, and the Christmas movie season will, of course, return after that in October!

By the way, the Hallmark Channel is asking viewers to take part in a special Christmas in July Fan Favorite Marathon vote. Starting May 27th, you can vote for your favorite Christmas movies that you would like to see on the channel during their annual Christmas In July movie event. New polls will be unveiled every week.

In honor of the 25th, we try to watch something Christmassy on this day - a movie, cartoon, etc... If you'd like to participate, simply share what Christmas movie/show you plan to watch to *Mark the 25th* in comments below.

I'm not sure I'll be able to squeeze in a Christmas movie over this busy Memorial Day Weekend, but when I have a chance soon, I plan to watch USS Christmas, starring Trevor Donovan and Jen Lilley. It's such a wonderful film that honors our military, past and present.

Blessings to you all on this Memorial Day Weekend.

In addition to the movies above, this weekend will also be filled with all kinds of special sporting events you can see on TV—the 108th Running of the Indianapolis 500, NASCAR's Coca-Cola 600, Major League Baseball, UFL Football, Pickleball, NBA Conference Finals, WNBA Basketball, Stanley Cup Playoffs Conference Finals, PGA Tour Golf, and more! It's quite a busy weekend!

As I mentioned above, this Saturday, May 25th, also marks 7 months until Christmas day, and one of the Christmas movies airing Friday night on the Hallmark Channel is Northern Lights of Christmas. This, of course, brought to mind the recent spectacular sighting of the Northern Lights seen widely across the U.S., and I just had to ask, did any of you see the incredible viewing on Friday, May 10th? In the afternoon, our local weatherman told us that it wouldn't be possible for us to see them due to cloud coverage, but surprise, that evening, the clouds separated just enough, and we had a glorious viewing of a colorful sky of Northern Lights! It was an amazing sight, and I hope many of you saw them that day, as well, or you have been able to see them at some point!

Although I'm expecting to be fairly busy with my family over this holiday weekend, I'm still planning to watch When Calls the Heart on Sunday evening. I am especially looking forward to seeing this special scene (see sneak peek below) with Allie and Nathan singing "By the Beautiful Sea."

This old-fashioned song, "By the Beautiful Sea," was written in 1914; it is a piece of Americana apple pie! Since seeing this When Calls the Heart sneak peek on Monday, I've been humming this sweet little tune all week!

I hope you all have a safe, peaceful, and pleasant

Memorial Day weekend!

Blessings to you all,
