Happy Labor Day Weekend, Friends!

I hope you’re able to slow down a little on this extended weekend, soak up some rest, and enjoy a bit of well-deserved downtime.

I'm planning to do a little extra yard work while the weather is still nice and warm, and share some time with my family out in the sunshine, and later in the cool evenings we'll likely gather around the fire pit.

If your weekend’s looking busy, don’t forget to set your DVR for the brand-new series premiere on Great American Family, “Crossroad Springs”! The first episode airs Saturday night. (I streamed it early on PureFlix - see my review below!). This heartfelt show invites us right into the heart of ranch life... full of warmth, family drama, and all the ups and downs that come with it.

And if you’re in the mood for something romantic, Great American Family also premieres a lighthearted movie titled 'The Wedding Arrangement'! (See my review for this below, too!)

The Hallmark Channel wraps up their *Summer Nights* with 'Catch of the Day,' a seaside romance that may be the perfect last splash of the season! 

I hope you’ll enjoy some of these heartwarming stories this weekend. If you do, I’d love to hear which ones you liked most, so please share your thoughts in the comments below!

Episode 1 - Review:

“Crossroad Springs” is such a heartwarming look at life on a family ranch. You really feel the love, hard work, and sense of community. It was comforting to watch the characters face challenges and lean on each other. Episode one does a wonderful job of introducing us to the Hamilton family, those in their community, and their neighbor/rival, Daniel Newman. (By the way, Jesse Hutch plays the character very well!) I loved all of the little touches of faith, and I’m looking forward to the next episode! -Net

SHINING HIS LIGHT: 

The premiere of “Crossroad Springs” brought these scriptures to my mind; they remind us that with family, friends, and God at the center, even the toughest days can feel lighter....

“Commit your work to the Lord, 

and your plans will be established.”

Proverbs 16:3

“Two are better than one…

for if they fall, one will lift up his fellow.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
