I loved this film. I saw it on the Hallmark channel and was so taken by it's simple story of love, romance and learning to trust in the Lord for the things we need. It just was so refreshing to see it on the screen. The romance was sweet, and gentle, and yet all so true to life. It was set in the pioneer days, but the message is the same no matter when it is. A couple moving out west to find their paradise and peril strikes. What happens next is just what we all believe in that the Lord will make a way for us. Hard times makes many worry that maybe this time God will not meet our needs, but this man shows how patience and prayer, and being diligent to believe God is a rewarder of those who believe in Him, that He will take care of them. In this family oriented film there is hard times, and hard decisions to be made, their is grief, but like the Bible says Joy comes in the Morning. Love abounds in this movie in many different ways, a child gets a new start as this stranger, a young woman comes into the child's life, there is laughter, and their is sadness but in the end, the most beautiful ending to this simple story will delight you and you will find yourself racing to the video store to purchase this very appealing love story. After it aired I heard it was one of the most watched love stories that Hallmark had ever had on. The women were so taken with Dale Midkiff's character they all wanted a man like him in their lives. Get this film, and if you cannot afford to buy it watch for it on Hallmark channel, or even TBN, for they show it a lot on those two channels. It is a heavenly film.
