Worth the wait.

Family Blessings was the first Lavrle Spencer novel I read. And it's still one of my favorites. I waited a long time see the movie when my CBS affiliate finally decided to show it. At first I wasn't sure Lynda Carter was right for the female lead. But as I watched, I realized she did a great job. The story was a good one. Older woman/younger man love story. I found it funny that the woman's male family member's were more excepting of the relationship than the female members. I can understand the daughter's disdain, since she had a thing for the young man, herself. The woman's mother was just concerned for herself and how it would affect her status in the town. The movie showed that no matter what other people think, love conquers all.

Loved it! Why? Two words... Lynda and Carter!

I've watched this movie everytime it has been on "Television for Women ®" (I still don't understand how they can call it this and show so many Lynda Carter movies), and enjoy it more each time. It is an interesting take on the old May-December relationship thing, although I'm always amazed that film makers try & portray Lynda Carter as just another suburban housewife (even if she is playing one in real life now). Seems kind of like saying, "I've got this supercharged ZR-1 Corvette, but I only use it to go to the store and bowling."

Great TV movie to see it proves love is possible for everybody and many times it happens so unexpected and by circumstance.

Now this would be a dream come true for a young man to become romantically involved with Lynda Carter! That's just my wish I always adored Lynda she's a real beauty. This movie shows just how unexpected love can happen and that it can happen between just about any two people as despite the difference in their ages, (Lynda Carter) as a beautiful widow becomes romantically involved with of all people her late son's best friend (Steven Eckholdt) now what a fine blessing! Oh I must just mention that Lynda Carter is just as beautiful and sexy as ever she may be getting older but she's getting better looking with age! Catch this movie on the Lifetime networks you must watch this if your a Lynda Carter fan plus this movie has a good message to it.

I loved it!

I loved this movie! I had already read the book by Lavyrle Spencer and when I heard the movie was going to be on, I watched it. There are some slight differences between the two, but I absolutely loved it! I can't wait until they make a movie based on The Hellion!
