Hello, Elegant Lovelies,
It may be spring, but the temperature doesn’t know what it wants to do. I have been enjoying the cool days and now it’s starting to warm up a little. I just dress for the day and it may vary day to day.
My thoughts are turning to Easter (Resurrection Sunday) and how important this holiday is for Christ followers. It is the celebration of Jesus Christ who defeated the cross, risen from the grave and we have been given everlasting life through Him.
What does it mean to be a follower of Christ?
Will following Christ be easy?
Questions like these are explored in the new movie, The Pilgrim’s Progress. My hubby and I had the opportunity to screen thanks to our collaboration with LEV3L Digital. The movie will be shown in theaters over the Easter weekend, April 18th and April 20th. The movie is based on one of the best selling books of all time — The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan in 1678. The book has been translated into at least 200 languages and has never been out of print in over 300 years. The Pilgrim’s Progress is the one story that can give our children the courage to stay on the straight path in a culture that often stands against them.
In the movie, we follow the main character, Christian, who has discovered a new way of life. He has made an important decision to take a new journey that forever changes his life.
In the photo above, we see Christian (on the right) on his journey. He is carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders that only seems to be getting heavier the more he walks. He is offered a better way that has better promises. But, just as in life, we have to remember that everything that looks good may not be always what it seems to be and good for us. And the beautiful blessing about our Lord and Savior is that we are never alone and He is always there to help us to know which way is the best way.
Watch and share the trailer. You need to make plans to take your friends and family to see the movie. An epic tale of a pilgrim and his burden. Journey with Christian as he travels from the city of Destruction to the Celestial City. The journey is hard and long, but Christian is never alone.
The Pilgrim’s Progress will be shown in theaters on two days, April 18th and 20th. To find a theater in your area and to purchase tickets, click HERE!

I would like to see the movie. It sounds great. I know to be a follower of Christ is not easy. I have faced struggles in my own journey. Easter means the affirmation of God’s love for us in his supreme sacrifice-his son for our sins.
Thank you for entering the giveaway. Yes, Easter is the sign of God’s love for His children. We often face struggles in life, but with God’s love and His Grace, we can overcome anything.
I would love to see this with my daughter. Easter is the resurrection of Christ. A new beginning and a time to celebrate that with family. The first message of Easter says that Jesus Christ died for our sins.
Thank you for entering the giveaway. Easter is the time of new beginnings for our Faith. We cannot forget what Jesus did for us on the cross.
This would be great to watch with my daughter. Easter means a new start and valuing your family.
Thank you for entering the giveaway. Easter is a great time to spend with friends and family and reflect on God’s love for His children.
I love movies that are about Christianity! I would love to see this with my niece! For me Easter means celebrating and remembering what Christ did for us! He made the ultimate sacrifice.
Thank you for entering the giveaway. Yes, Easter is a good time to reflect on God’s love and His Grace for our lives. We can never forget that and what Jesus did for us.
