The Blessing Bracelet review: DaySpring's latest movie for Hallmark

 

Back before Christmas, I said that I hoped Hallmark wouldn't completely give up on faith based movies. Well, DaySpring went ahead and made this beautiful movie for Easter.

Description: Dawn Spencer (Schull) approaches the Easter holiday trying to balance being a single parent while working to get out of the debt left behind by her ex-husband. Feeling overwhelmed, Dawn unearths a bracelet she made years earlier and stored away. She created it using four beads with the intention of using each one as a reminder to count the blessings in her life. As Dawn begins to focus on the good, her faith is renewed, and her life takes a positive turn. Thanks to the support of Dawn’s church community and the encouragement by Ben (Marks), who recently came into her life, the blessing bracelets help take her down a path she never could have imagined.

It was a lovely movie. The kind I wish would be a regular thing at Hallmark instead of, well you know.

I also said back after 'The Gift of Peace' aired that it felt like Hallmark was just trying to 'throw a bone' to the core audience that they keep betraying. And after the last 4 months, it feels the same here.

After the 3, very surprisingly clean new Wedding Veil movies aired, Hallmark went right back to terrible movies that are either full on woke, or are sneaking in woke politics (and are also trying too hard to be funny). That Valentine's Day movie based off a book that Hallmark Publishings made about magic chocolates that aired 2 months ago that looked totally sweet? 2 gay couples in it like nothing was the matter!! Yeah, gay people falling in love because they ate a 'magic chocolate'! Pissed me off enough to want to completely abandon every future movie unless I 100% knew that it was clean! Haven't watched a single new Hallmark movie since.

And to add to the brutality, their 2 new so called 'popular' shows? Both woke, as I predicted. And also terribly written from what I've heard. Never would've happened 4 years ago. Because that kind of junk never did and never will belong on that network no matter what the critics and facists who are supposidly loving the network now say!!

HMM hasn't been innocent in all this either. Not only is that channel still airing the racist, and terribly rated 'Mahogany' movies, but 99% of their new mystery movies have not only been badly written, but also have been woke! Inserting gays in them, making everyone in the movies completely accepting of them like it's all 100% normal, no opposition to them whatsoever. Because you know, can't have homophobes existing in a perfect liberal wet fantasy!

Oh, and yeah. There's still no plans to wrap up any of their current mystery movie series, only 1 they're even continuing is the Hannah Swensen mysteries, run by liberal Allison Sweeney! And oh yeah, they even gave that disgusting traitor Jodi Sweeten her own mystery series!! What a clown show.

I'm thankful, again, that the real core audience of Hallmark hasn't been completely forgotten about, especially on 1 of the biggest religious holidays of the year. But in all reality, DaySpring is the only good thing left. Other then it, 3 actors that I still like who haven't done a dirty movie yet, this whole network is almost completely dead to me. It's impossible now to fully support a network that is crashing and burning itself with woke agendas, all on purpose with no regrets! And it's even harder now to keep hoping for 'rare gems' that stand out in a sea of wokeness, because those are hardly happening now too.

I know what some of you are probably thinking: 'Why not just entirely stop watching the network if you're so offended by it? Why not just give up on it and accept it as another doomed business by the woke mob?'

Because I can't. This network impacted me too much throughout my teenage years. Trying to give up on it entirely would be like me trying to give up on Hetty ever returning to NCIS LA. (and yeah, 2014 was also the year I watched my 1st Hallmark movie!).

Call it 'Too stuck in the past' if you want, but part of me wants to hope that 1 day, she'll get to see the old Hallmark back, the Hallmark that she loved throughout her teenage years.

Just wish it didn't feel so hard to have faith in a miracle like that sometimes. But that's the cost of wanting something that big. The last few Seasons of NCIS LA are definitely proof of that.
