What brilliant idea...a borrowed Christmas! So glad Ann took John seriously! 🥰❤ This movie stirred feelings that so many of us can identify with. It was a beautiful movie! I only wish we could have seen the children's reactions when they received the happy news!!! Perhaps, instead of bloopers at the end, you could have shown the children being told. Or you could do a "Borrowed Christmas 2." I could even see a whole series about the family as they grow & interact. We could meet John's brother & family, Ann's family, learn about the children's histories, etc. There's lots of material to work with here!!! My best wishes to the creators of this lovely movie, whether you pursue more along this storyline or with other future endeavors. I'm sure the Lord will bless you with success as long as you keep producing good, wholesome Christian content that furthers His work. It's so greatly appreciated by us believers!!! Thank you sooooo much, loved it!!!
The last Christmas I had with my daddy was when I was 7 years old. I say last because he was killed in a coal mining accident. That was 72 years ago and I’m crying because I’m still that little boy in my heart. I will never forget the love and bond we shared together that made that Christmas so special to me. My 9yo brother and I almost ended up in the Bethany Orphanage, so this movie is very poignant and flooded my soul with memories of my past. Thank you for posting it.
So sorry that you missed out on so many happy times with your Daddy, BUT, You will be with him again, Look forward to an eternity with him, and smile …❤
I'm crying, because of the love at the end, so happy the children got a forever home. God should be in every part of our world.. he will make all things right.🙏🏽🤗💓
I am glad JESUS brought me back to this movie - I admit knowing it was a low budget movie with amateur acting, I passed it by during Christmas 2022 - but today, Jan. 11, 2023 I needed it - perhaps timing was needed for JESUS to stir it into my heart - I just binged JESUS on the Chosen, and became aware of the word "Inn" being incorrect - and that it was to be read as "Guest-room", that was the first right thing I noticed in this movie - and the proposal of saying he wanted JESUS as the center of his heart within the family he was choosing to have in his life was certainly the next best right thing I enjoyed hearing from this movie, so yeah, do not judge the wrapping of the gift - before you see exactly what is on the inside of the package, one may just get SURPRISED WITH THE RESULTS, thanks to all who made this movie a reality to give JESUS THE GLORY, WELL DONE!
A prayer of complete surrender using caps as emphasis to encourage the disheartened and help the weak to carry on this journey with SWEET JESUS AT THE WHEEL because our contract with survival is brokered with sadness, fragility and anxiety. On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE. YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰 YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow. If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰 They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh. They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take. Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES. LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain. LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌 LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰 LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌 If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee. Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh. O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰
May the Spirit of the Lord bring You peace. I'm on my own as well..but it's by choice ...I have no idea Your circumstances...but I hope You find peace within Your soul...🙏🙏🎇🎇✝️✝️
As a man alone for 20+ years I know how wonderful a movie this is. Thanks to all the wonderful people within it it renwed my faith in Christmas and Life itself. John and Anne U have a wonderful family MERRY CHRISTMAS
This was a very strange but wonderful Christmas movie. Who ever thought of the idea of a borrowed Christmas? Genius! I am sure there are lonely people out there who wouldn't mind having the same opportunity. Loved it!
This was a very wonderful movie...it fill a place in my heart I needed to be filled! Both my parents are gone and my daughter is far way! Brought back old memories money can't buy! Jesus Christ is Love and the heart of the family! Amen

This movie has God’s Holy Spirit all over and through it. A life-changer! Word’s pale when trying to describe what God can do through the efforts of those who made this movie. Thank you and May our Loving Father continue to help people like y’all make quality productions such as this one for many years to come. Jesus IS Lord and He IS returning to this very earth. Please, PLEASE consider your relationship with HIM , NOW. Don’t wait another moment. He loves you so very much and is waiting to hear from you.I love y’all . Merry Christmas! 💕💕💕🦋🦋🦋🙏🙏🙏🌈🌈🌈
They already hearted ur comment but yes that's the signs if thankfulness and also perhaps of finally getting thru struggle and keeping or restoring faith I get it
Same and um I could scroll while Keri inject search but not comment while Gonna try and spread , musical cheer and yes a dream of many great possible realities And lol that one kid seemed so British or something
Absolutely the sweetest movie I have ever seen . Thank each of you that had a part in making this wonderful movie. Much love to each and everyone of you. You all have opened the hearts of your viewers to a hire level of loving. God bless y’all so much for the thoughts behind this remarkable movie. My heart has exploded! Merry Christmas! Glory to The New born King JESUS! Hallelujah!💕💕💕💕🦋🦋🦋🦋
I can't say enough about this beautiful story...thank you for giving us a truly good quality Christmas movie and the true Christmas story from the Bible
I saw this movie about three years ago and I loved it. In fact, I brought it. I watch this movie every year. Love it so much. We need more movies like this.
This is the best Christmas movie!! Thank you for making it, and sharing it!! It was so wonderful to watch a Christ centered Christmas movie. I wish I had found it weeks ago! I definitely will watch it again. Thank you!
Lovely, lovely movie @Chip Rossetti! So glad you made this film. I am sure with many constraints. Our family enjoyed it tonight. God bless you and use you to make more of such clean movies. What a great message and screenplay. Specially loved the moments at the end. Got a lump in my throat. Made me value my family that much more and be grateful to God for something that one usually takes for granted. Special thanks for avoiding the temptation of getting the two leads to kiss at the end! So glad you made it so clean when most of the stuff we see around has cringe scenes you can't watch with children. Look forward to your next!
This is the BEST Christmas movie I've seen in a long time! Thank you to the writers of the story and music, and all the actors and actresses, techs, director, sponsors and every person who was responsible in any way to help make this movie even if you were a delivery person or you went shopping for a pencil or gave encouragement to someone❣🤩😍🥰(😂 HAPPY TEARS FOR BEING GREAT!!!❣).
I want to make another comment because I forgot to say that I love the song " The Best Gift ". Written and performed by Jimmy DeTalente, who played John Dale's friend, Fred, in the movie. I love the words to the song, especially.
Thank you so much for this movie! I feel it was meant for me to see! I too am single and have this feeling at Christmas time of wanting a family of my own. I saw it on TV 44-1 WTLW.
The most beautiful story - better than my all time fav. A Christmas Caroll - gonna be a must watch every Christmas from now on. And I am going to adopt the idea of a borrowed Christmas, but for every holiday and for the orphanage children and people who are lonely. Thank You Jesus for this movie that touched me so deep; I pray You will help me be able to create this for many people and to find You in the midst of it. God bless you all 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
That's great. My son at his first post in the military, 18 years old and away from home for the first time during the Holidays overseas, had a Sargent who invited him, and a couple of others who had no where to go. My son was very homesick, and appreciated his Sargent including him for the Thanksgiving and Christmas meal. As he got older, and had a family, he never forgot, and invited those who didn't have families of their own, or anywhere to go for the Holiday meals.
I've seen MANY Christmas movies this year. This is my 2nd time seeing those. I must say, no, I HAVE to say, this is the BEST MOVIE I've ever seen! It may not be high budget or on location, but it is the BEST I've ever seen and will see again. I hope the writer will continue with this movie. It is the best! God bless and Happy New Year!
Please please do a part 2 for this and let us see how Ann & John come together for marriage and their wedding and how the kids are all adopted. I really love this movie
This is the only Christ centered Christmas movie I have ever watched. They do not make like this anymore. Kudos to the people who had done it.God bless you
I found this movie by accident. I love it. A really sweet movie. I wish we could of seen the kid’s reaction to being adopted. But I love it and have watched it a couple of years now.
Loved, loved, loved this movie! Hope there is NO sequel! Leave it like it is! Better than Jimmy Stewart's Christmas 🍿 movie. I will play it every year!
I'm so happy to have found this movie, i've already watched it multiple times, it's such a comfort to a lonely heart, the cast was well chosen indeed, they are so pretty, handsome and cute, i'm looking forward to a sequel to this story, have a Merry Christmas and a bountiful New Year 2023
Wonderful!believe that everytime I get a goodnight sleep...and God wakes me up again...for me everyday is Christmas!Many happy 😊 new year to everyone who watched this movie!God bless you!
Awesome movie & so different frost Christmas movie's. Thank you for sharing. May we all with GOD's help get through "2023," with rekindled hope & recognize JESUS gave us the greatest gift of eternal life ❤️
I have spent many Christmases on my own and I find if I do not think about what other people are doing and spend a day doing what I want to do the day goes on without a hitch and the same goes for Boxing Day too, so spoil yourself.
When I find myself alone I understand how others who are also alone. If I then try to help them and spend time with them the joy of helping then spreads back to me. If we join together we won't be alone. Sorry if it sounds cheesy.
@@victoriamyatt1709 I have on occasion when I have not wanted to be alone posted on Nextdoor about hosting Thanksgiving and/or Christmas lunche. Sometimes it is taken up and I have a house full of people I don't know very well and other times no one replies. I usually take 2 weeks to set it up so I know them by messaging only. These have been quite fun as there are no family politics and no expectations or a relative behaving badly
This is a very heart warming Christmas story, very well written and acted. And I'd love to see a sequel to this. Thanks for a wonderful Christmas story. Jesus is the Reason for the Season lest we Forget.🎄😊✝️
Such an awesome movie ‼️‼️💜❤️ Loved it to the very end an made me cry I was so happy to hear that he will adopt the children an take her as his wife 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Also loved the maids‼️‼️🙏🙏
Watching this family work together without rules to make happy and joy each moment together without "promising more than one day to feel Christ bind love one another" 50 showing is not enough for me.. Family clean words ,, children making a warm nest, games , food and conversation and without electronics to run the show. God Bless and a part two into lives changed by loving kindness does matter!!!
There is no such thing as borrowed christmas...it has to be true to life, because we believe the spirit of christmas in a FAMILY. God bless everyone!!!
Great movie, great concept. As someone who is also alone, who is praying for a family, this movie hits a delightsome chord. The movie could also be called, "The Borrowed Family".
What an original script! Seems stiff in the beginning, but trust me, the meaning behind it is worth every minute. Loved it. Keep God in the center and everything will work out. 🙏🏽
Honest review for whatever its worth or not: I agree with others, what a great concept for a movie! Enjoyed the show overall and it managed to get a few tears from me. I'm glad the did the movie. Nice job of witnessing. Wish they had been able to be more lavish with the set and sound. Budgets are what they are. There was a rich amount of material to work with. Too bad they weren't able to develop the movie to a degree fully worthy of the material. The performances by the actress who played Bridget were stilted she'd get me almost there with the emotion - she had me rooting for her. Some awkward scenes which were not the fault of the actors but rather in their presentation. Nice job on the wardrobes. My compliments to the actors. With the exception of the first scene where the maids were introduced and some of the Bridget emoting; the actors did an great job. I thought the opening and ending scenes were extremely well done. God bless all those involved and may they grow and have continued success with their efforts.
Mesmerized throughout the whole of this film ! Really very well done and very original. Thank you very much. It's rare I watch a whole film in one sitting but this one got me right there. Thank again.
26:53 That woman moves so smoothly and quickly, it looks like she's on wheels! 😆 I've never seen anyone walk forward without some up & down or side-to-side movement!
🤣🤣🤣🤣Hahaha, They said excactly like that about me when I was a wedding photographer in a church. I was laughing when I heard that afterwords, and I told them I walked like that because I was suppose to SEE,...not to be SEEN.🫣
I wonder how many people did spend 2022 Christmas alone. After all on this planet has and in some places are still going through tough times. I tried to help those I knew of over the period. Even saying good morning can lift a persons spirit. Too many of us are glued to that phone to even see where we are going. It’s not life and death if you put it in your pocket for half an hour a day and see the life around you. You might be surprised that there is life away from that screen and that you can find joy in socialising with an actual person face to face and not via a screen or text.
What brilliant idea...a borrowed Christmas! So glad Ann took John seriously! 🥰❤ This movie stirred feelings that so many of us can identify with. It was a beautiful movie! I only wish we could have seen the children's reactions when they received the happy news!!! Perhaps, instead of bloopers at the end, you could have shown the children being told. Or you could do a "Borrowed Christmas 2." I could even see a whole series about the family as they grow & interact. We could meet John's brother & family, Ann's family, learn about the children's histories, etc. There's lots of material to work with here!!! My best wishes to the creators of this lovely movie, whether you pursue more along this storyline or with other future endeavors. I'm sure the Lord will bless you with success as long as you keep producing good, wholesome Christian content that furthers His work. It's so greatly appreciated by us believers!!! Thank you sooooo much, loved it!!!
I agree.
I just love the sun glasses that is my thing on my head.😇😇🥰🥰🥰
Definitely should be a part 2

The last Christmas I had with my daddy was when I was 7 years old. I say last because he was killed in a coal mining accident. That was 72 years ago and I’m crying because I’m still that little boy in my heart. I will never forget the love and bond we shared together that made that Christmas so special to me. My 9yo brother and I almost ended up in the Bethany Orphanage, so this movie is very poignant and flooded my soul with memories of my past. Thank you for posting it.
🙏❤️🙏
🤗🤗🤗

So sorry that you missed out on so many happy times with your Daddy, BUT, You will be with him again, Look forward to an eternity with him, and smile …❤
@@joanneel9708 Thank You.
I'm crying, because of the love at the end, so happy the children got a forever home. God should be in every part of our world.. he will make all things right.🙏🏽🤗💓

I am glad JESUS brought me back to this movie - I admit knowing it was a low budget movie with amateur acting, I passed it by during Christmas 2022 - but today, Jan. 11, 2023 I needed it - perhaps timing was needed for JESUS to stir it into my heart - I just binged JESUS on the Chosen, and became aware of the word "Inn" being incorrect - and that it was to be read as "Guest-room", that was the first right thing I noticed in this movie - and the proposal of saying he wanted JESUS as the center of his heart within the family he was choosing to have in his life was certainly the next best right thing I enjoyed hearing from this movie, so yeah, do not judge the wrapping of the gift - before you see exactly what is on the inside of the package, one may just get SURPRISED WITH THE RESULTS, thanks to all who made this movie a reality to give JESUS THE GLORY, WELL DONE!
I'm crying at this film way more than I should be . Lovely story. I'm on my own and find Christmas a very difficult time.

A prayer of complete surrender using caps as emphasis to encourage the disheartened and help the weak to carry on this journey with SWEET JESUS AT THE WHEEL because our contract with survival is brokered with sadness, fragility and anxiety.
On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE.
YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰
YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow.
If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰
They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh.
They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take.
Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES.
LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain.
LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌
LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰
LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌
If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee.
Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh.
O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰
I’m sad that people feel lonely, when they are withe most important person in their life!!!
May the Spirit of the Lord bring You peace. I'm on my own as well..but it's by choice ...I have no idea Your circumstances...but I hope You find peace within Your soul...🙏🙏🎇🎇✝️✝️
Sorry to hear that Christmas is a difficult time. Glad this story resonated with you, Moira.
Please make a sequel…..we don’t want the beauty to end…..such a beautiful story ❤
As a man alone for 20+ years I know how wonderful a movie this is. Thanks to all the wonderful people within it
it renwed my faith in Christmas and Life itself. John and Anne U have a wonderful family MERRY CHRISTMAS
This was a very strange but wonderful Christmas movie. Who ever thought of the idea of a borrowed Christmas? Genius! I am sure there are lonely people out there who wouldn't mind having the same opportunity. Loved it!
Right? I was about to stop watching but something kept telling me to keep watching..lol and I loved it.
For real though. So love it, I cried through the whole movie with happy tears
@@anasciathomas1913Me too😊
This was a very wonderful movie...it fill a place in my heart I needed to be filled! Both my parents are gone and my daughter is far way! Brought back old memories money can't buy! Jesus Christ is Love and the heart of the family! Amen
Amen. Happy Year to you Jennie. God bless you.
@@shirleylou6085 Thanks...God bless your New Year as well!😁🙏
Amen how true God Bless you.
I am in agreement that "Jesus Christ is Love and the heart of the family" ...

Yea,, another 2 minutes and the ending would have been so much better
My new favorite Christmas Movie. Thanks.
The most touching movie I have watched ever. I pray this happens in real life many times. Children need to be loved.
This is the best Christmas movie!! Thank you for making it, and sharing it!! It was so wonderful to watch a Christ centered Christmas movie. I wish I had found it weeks ago! I definitely will watch it again. Thank you!
Thanks for watching, Vada! We're glad you enjoyed it. You might also enjoy, The Christmas Reunion: ruclips.net/video/gvjQP5lUR98/видео.html
Lovely, lovely movie @Chip Rossetti! So glad you made this film. I am sure with many constraints. Our family enjoyed it tonight. God bless you and use you to make more of such clean movies. What a great message and screenplay. Specially loved the moments at the end. Got a lump in my throat. Made me value my family that much more and be grateful to God for something that one usually takes for granted. Special thanks for avoiding the temptation of getting the two leads to kiss at the end! So glad you made it so clean when most of the stuff we see around has cringe scenes you can't watch with children. Look forward to your next!
Beautiful, beautiful film! I was sad when the kids left, but the ending was wonderful! Happy Happy New Year everyone!
Happy New Year, Magda! You might enjoy The Dream Motel, also staring Jeff Rose: ruclips.net/video/2zfrZkTx_zI/видео.html

So glad you enjoyed it, Alice!
😂😅🎉😅😂
I want to make another comment because I forgot to say that I love the song " The Best Gift ". Written and performed by Jimmy DeTalente, who played John Dale's friend, Fred, in the movie. I love the words to the song, especially.
Lovely to hear, Vada!
Thank you so much for this movie! I feel it was meant for me to see! I too am single and have this feeling at Christmas time of wanting a family of my own. I saw it on TV 44-1 WTLW.

A truly beautiful movie it made this Old Lady cry I remember Christmas's like that years ago GOD BLESS THEM ALL
What a great movie!!!! Years just flowing!!! Wish we could see the kids reaction to the adoption plans! Great movie!!!❤❤🎉❤🎉
The most beautiful story - better than my all time fav. A Christmas Caroll - gonna be a must watch every Christmas from now on. And I am going to adopt the idea of a borrowed Christmas, but for every holiday and for the orphanage children and people who are lonely. Thank You Jesus for this movie that touched me so deep; I pray You will help me be able to create this for many people and to find You in the midst of it. God bless you all 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
That's great. My son at his first post in the military, 18 years old and away from home for the first time during the Holidays overseas, had a Sargent who invited him, and a couple of others who had no where to go. My son was very homesick, and appreciated his Sargent including him for the Thanksgiving and Christmas meal. As he got older, and had a family, he never forgot, and invited those who didn't have families of their own, or anywhere to go for the Holiday meals.
A wonderful movie!!! I must watch it every christmas.
❤❤❤❤what a lovely,lovely story❤❤❤❤thank you all for letting as cry because of joy❤❤❤❤from Scotland🌈🐬Gabriele 🐉🌺
I've seen MANY Christmas movies this year. This is my 2nd time seeing those. I must say, no, I HAVE to say, this is the BEST MOVIE I've ever seen! It may not be high budget or on location, but it is the BEST I've ever seen and will see again. I hope the writer will continue with this movie. It is the best! God bless and Happy New Year!
Please please do a part 2 for this and let us see how Ann & John come together for marriage and their wedding and how the kids are all adopted. I really love this movie
This would be an awesome part 2
Yes I would love to see God Awful Movies do part 2 😂
i loved this movie! it was different than I expected and very sweet. Made me cry.
More like a community theatre stage play than a movie. I enjoyed the message.
More like Middle School Theater
@furstjakobderschwabewhat a dumb response.
This is the only Christ centered Christmas movie I have ever watched. They do not make like this anymore. Kudos to the people who had done it.God bless you

Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy ❤ Wonderful portrayal of Christ and the Spirit of Love ❤
Meaningful in more ways than one...

What a beautiful movie, made me feel so sad as that’s going to be me alone .
This movie made me laugh and cry love it.
Merry Christmas everyone
I have spent many Christmases on my own and I find if I do not think about what other people are doing and spend a day doing what I want to do the day goes on without a hitch and the same goes for Boxing Day too, so spoil yourself.
When I find myself alone I understand how others who are also alone. If I then try to help them and spend time with them the joy of helping then spreads back to me. If we join together we won't be alone. Sorry if it sounds cheesy.
@@victoriamyatt1709 I have on occasion when I have not wanted to be alone posted on Nextdoor about hosting Thanksgiving and/or Christmas lunche. Sometimes it is taken up and I have a house full of people I don't know very well and other times no one replies. I usually take 2 weeks to set it up so I know them by messaging only. These have been quite fun as there are no family politics and no expectations or a relative behaving badly
I so enjoyed this “borrowed “ Christmas movie. I loved this whole concept, perfect!!! 😃
So glad to hear, Cynthia!
A beautiful movie. So would have loved seeing the childrens faces when they learned they had a forever home!! I loved it!
This movie ade me feel the same way I felt upon watching Somewhere in Time. Grand movie, for which I am grateful I got to enjoy.
This is a very heart warming Christmas story, very well written and acted.
And I'd love to see a sequel to this. Thanks for a wonderful Christmas story. Jesus is the Reason for the Season lest we Forget.🎄😊✝️

Watching this family work together without rules to make happy and joy each moment together without "promising more than one day to feel Christ bind love one another" 50 showing is not enough for me.. Family clean words ,, children making a warm nest, games , food and conversation and without electronics to run the show. God Bless and a part two into lives changed by loving kindness does matter!!!
There is no such thing as borrowed christmas...it has to be true to life, because we believe the spirit of christmas in a FAMILY. God bless everyone!!!
Lovely, lovely movie!!!❤
Great movie, great concept. As someone who is also alone, who is praying for a family, this movie hits a delightsome chord.
The movie could also be called, "The Borrowed Family".
What an original script! Seems stiff in the beginning, but trust me, the meaning behind it is worth every minute. Loved it. Keep God in the center and everything will work out. 🙏🏽
Honest review for whatever its worth or not: I agree with others, what a great concept for a movie! Enjoyed the show overall and it managed to get a few tears from me. I'm glad the did the movie. Nice job of witnessing. Wish they had been able to be more lavish with the set and sound. Budgets are what they are. There was a rich amount of material to work with. Too bad they weren't able to develop the movie to a degree fully worthy of the material. The performances by the actress who played Bridget were stilted she'd get me almost there with the emotion - she had me rooting for her. Some awkward scenes which were not the fault of the actors but rather in their presentation. Nice job on the wardrobes. My compliments to the actors. With the exception of the first scene where the maids were introduced and some of the Bridget emoting; the actors did an great job. I thought the opening and ending scenes were extremely well done. God bless all those involved and may they grow and have continued success with their efforts.
Thanks for sharing your review!
Such a moving and inspirational movie all the way through!! 🙏💞

Mesmerized throughout the whole of this film ! Really very well done and very original. Thank you very much. It's rare I watch a whole film in one sitting but this one got me right there. Thank again.
26:53 That woman moves so smoothly and quickly, it looks like she's on wheels! 😆 I've never seen anyone walk forward without some up & down or side-to-side movement!
🤣🤣🤣🤣Hahaha, They said excactly like that about me when I was a wedding photographer in a church.
I was laughing when I heard that afterwords, and I told them I walked like that because I was suppose to SEE,...not to be SEEN.🫣
I wonder how many people did spend 2022 Christmas alone. After all on this planet has and in some places are still going through tough times. I tried to help those I knew of over the period. Even saying good morning can lift a persons spirit. Too many of us are glued to that phone to even see where we are going. It’s not life and death if you put it in your pocket for half an hour a day and see the life around you. You might be surprised that there is life away from that screen and that you can find joy in socialising with an actual person face to face and not via a screen or text.
Yes, there is joy in socializing face to face. Thanks for sharing, Canny!
