A Godwink Christmas: Miracle of Love

Christmas is a spiritual celebration so it is encouraging to watch a movie that has a bit of depth in that regard. A refreshing change from the total focus being on Santa and his elves! There is a God in heaven so prayer and Faith should not be foreign subjects to spiritual people. Lovely Christmas story!

Based on a true story, this is one of my very favorites of the year!!! Acting was great. Love the storyline, characters, service, aspect, and love. Just enjoyed watching and really feeling the story. Looks like hallmark put some extra into this movie, and it shows.

Also, check out Mrs. Miracle story and for good fun The Christmas House. Hallmark 2021 only had a top 5 movies for me so far but now, it's 6! Sweet as can be!

I look forward to new entries in this series especially when it's based on a true story. This one says "inspired by" and there's no telling what that means in terms of sticking to the actual story. I say that because it becomes relevant in this movie especially as regards the last part of the movie. Some incredible things happen that qualify as miraculous. Unfortunately, the movie appears to associate some of that directly to Joy.

The first part of the movie focuses on the volunteer team working on a project to finish the construction of a house for a family who lost everything in a fire. The team, often inspired by Joy's ideas, quickly becomes totally invested in making the family's new house a welcoming home. There are many sentimental moments. The story appears to be heading for predictable, but there is a huge twist before the climax.

There is good chemistry between Katherine Barrell and Alberto Frezza, (I was mildly surprised to see that Barrell's character had the same name, Joy, as her character on Good Witch.)

A very nice storyline about a team of young people working together on a service project to help a family who have experienced a house fire. Very slow moving and plot was lacking, but ending very touching as it showed how God can intervene in extraordinary ways.

One of my favorites from 2021! It's a wonderful love story. The two lead actors playing Joy and Eric have amazing chemistry in this film. Both are superb actors! The story of them finding love while loving and serving others during a service trip to Oshkosh WI (of all places) was very heartwarming. During their journey, they end up finding their calling and finding their love for each other. I loved how they weaved the season of Advent into this Christmas movie. And I loved how they actually were not afraid to reference God or prayer in this "Christmas" movie. It's about time Hallmark! A film I can't wait to watch it again.
