CHRISTMAS AT THE CABIN

I love Christmas movies! Just this morning I was going through my memories on Facebook and saw a post from twelve years ago where I said, "I love the cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies!" The sweet romance, the friendships, and the joy of Christmas, it makes for a great two hours of entertainment. Yet, when you throw in the Gospel message, now you have two hours of not only entertainment, but encouragement and hope.

Christmas at the Cabin is a new Christmas movie you will love! It's full of all the Christmas movie magic we love with the message of Jesus, forgiveness, and friendship.

Michelle is craving a calm and peaceful Christmas at their cabin with her husband Josh. But now her sister Poppy is coming along. No big deal. Their trip hits snags from the very beginning. And much to Michelle's dismay, gets worse when Josh' college buddy, Guy, shows up. Michelle's peaceful Christmas is at risk and she is overwhelmed.

Christmas at the Cabin is a sweet Christmas movie you will want to add to your watch list this year! It comes out in theaters Friday, November 14th. To find out where it's playing and get your tickets, click HERE.

THE ENEMY KNOWS

 Therefore, submit to God. Resist the

devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near

to God, and He will draw near to you.

Cleanse your hands, sinners, and

purify your hearts, you double-minded.

James‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ CSB

I have never tasted alcohol of any kind. Not hard liquor, not beer, not wine, nothing. I don't say that as a boast, I say it because it has never had any appeal to me in the slightest. I've never wanted it, thought about it, had a desire to just try it, nothing. Because I have no experience or taste for it, the enemy doesn't try to tempt me with it. He knows it is a worthless effort. Instead, he puts his focus elsewhere, he tries to tempt me toward sin where I struggle.

The enemy knows what gets to us. He knows exactly how to make us fall. He knows what we struggle with. He knows our temptations. He’s not going to come at you with something that is not an issue for you. He’s going to come at you with something he knows you struggle with.

WEEKLY BLESSINGS {11.10.25}

There is an occasion for everything,
and a time for every activity under heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 CSB

While the calendar has said it's fall for awhile now, summer held on tightly in the Midwest. Then, suddenly fall made her glorious entrance. Now, after only a week, winter is fighting to get in.

I love fall, everything about it is so perfect. While winter snow may be beautiful, the winter cold and ice leave much to be desired. Then springtime comes and it is beautiful as the earth awakens again. But soon to follow is the dreaded summer heat. And the cycle continues on. Each season has its beauty and its struggles. The same goes for life. Each season of life has its beauty and struggles. But through it all, we can always find something to thank God for.

What is something you are thanking God for today?

Continuing to count God's sweet blessings...

It's your turn! Share something you are praising God for. I would love to rejoice with you.
