One driver’s shrewd and risky traffic maneuver put themselves in danger but likely saved a child from injury and possibly even death.

In order to operate a motor vehicle efficiently and safely, one must adhere to several rules and traffic laws. Keep your hands at 10 and 2. Check the mirrors. Always wear a seatbelt and monitor your speed. These are just a few things a driver’s education instructor will repeat ad nauseam.

However, for the most part, the rules of the road can be summarized nicely as “always remain alert to the surroundings.” Like anything else in life, paying attention to what is going on is always a good rule of thumb, especially when it involves driving a car.

A driver staying alert and paying attention to their surroundings most likely saved a young child from sustaining a devastating injury. 

A clip posted on YouTube gives the driver’s point of view as the vehicle heads down the road in Adelaide, Australia, on July 17. Everything appears to be fine, with traffic moving as normal. However, seconds into the short clip the driver spots an odd and frightening scene. 

The driver notices a child standing alone in the middle of the road on a busy highway. Thankfully, the driver in the clip saw the child early enough that they were able to slow down, cross the median and then pull over into the oncoming lanes of traffic.

The vehicle provided a protective barrier for the child, keeping approaching cars from slamming into the youngster. Soon after the vehicle drives into the wrong lanes, the child can be spotted leaving the roadway and darting into a nearby subdivision.

The clip ends with the truck crossing back into the correct lanes of traffic and coming to a stop. It’s unclear why the vehicle stopped, but one would imagine the driver was getting out to check on the child. 

John 15:13 “Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” 

One father struggled to keep it together after dropping his little girl off at college.

As every parent knows and understands, children can be tiring, frustrating and even overwhelming. However, parents would not trade time spent with their children for anything. It seems like no time, and they are all grown up, moving out and ready to handle life on their own.

A video posted on TikTok shows one who seems to slowly come to the realization that one chapter of his life has drawn to a close. In the clip, as the video’s caption points out, a father watches as he drops his daughter off at college.

The man’s wife was the person who captured the moving and heartfelt moment.

“Caught my husband watching his life walk away from him after we dropped her off at college,” she wrote in the video’s caption. 

The father stands and stares off into the distance. For most of the 20-second video, the dad appears to be on the verge of tears. However, at one point, a big smile comes over his face. The reason for the man’s momentary smile is due to his daughter turning back and looking at him, according to Sunny Skyz. 

But soon enough, after the smile, the man’s face returns to its near-tears state. 

The sweet display of emotion, love and care from the father is enough to cause even the most stoic and unemotional people to shed a tear or two. 

Many people responded to the precious moment on TikTok.

“Give the man a tissue! No give him a hug! Don’t mind me, I'm in tears too!” one person wrote.

“Aweeeee his “world” is in a new place and he can’t bubble wrap her and keep her safe now,” a second person added.

“My daughter is only 10 months old and I’m already scared of this moment,” a third TikTok user posted. 

Psalm 103:13 “As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.”

A woman who works in a California laundromat helped save a kidnapped 13-year-old girl after the teen displayed a “help me” sign.

The world is a sad, lonely and often dangerous place. It will leave people broken and scarred. Not even children and teenagers are safe from the savage and treacherous ways of the world. But thankfully, one woman helped to save a teenager who had been kidnapped and sexually assaulted.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a laundromat worker, Touch Vong, recalls the scary incident and how she helped to detain 61-year-old Steven Sablan. 

The 61-year-old is accused of kidnapping the young girl, taking her from San Antonio, Texas to Long Beach, California, and sexually assaulting her several times.

While in Long Beach, the man stopped in a laundromat to wash some clothes, at some point, he approached Touch and asked where he might be able to find something to eat in the area. 

Instead of telling the man that the restaurants in the area normally don't open on a Sunday, she invited him to stick around because they may open. 

During her interaction with the suspect, Touch mentioned she sensed something was off about the situation. 

When the man was in the laundromat, the kidnapped teenager in the car created a sign which read, “Help me.” She flashed it at several cars driving by. Thankfully, someone stopped and called 911.

As a result of the call, and Touch’s response about food, police arrested the man. 

Touch credits God with assisting with the rescue of the kidnapped 13-year-old.

“I feel happy,” she said. “I feel like God told me to stop him. That’s how she got rescued.”

Psalm 82:3-4 “Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights. Be the savior of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of evildoers.”

One woman burst into tears when she realized she had officially become a grandmother.

Becoming a parent and welcoming a child into the world is one of life’s biggest blessings. Children add so much joy, happiness and love to one’s life. Watching them grow and learn is unlike anything else in life. 

For those who are grandparents, all of that is true. But grandma and grandpa get a few added perks. They get to spoil their grandchildren with love and anything else their hearts desire. But the children return home with their parents at the end of the day. Grandparents get the fun parts without all the crying and tantrums.

Like becoming a parent, being a grandmother or grandfather is another blessing from the good Lord.

A clip posted on YouTube shows the moment a woman learns she is a grandmother. The tears immediately begin flowing – from the new grandmother and the new mom.

The short video begins with the new grandmother walking into the room as she looks down at her phone. She has no idea that her daughter has given birth, delivering her first grandchild, a beautiful baby girl.

The clip’s narrator informs viewers that the daughter didn’t tell her mother that she had gone into labor. Apparently, she wanted the arrival of the child to be a surprise. 

And it was the best surprise possible!

The camera catches the new grandmother as she approaches the hospital bed and her stunned first look at her daughter holding the baby. The woman stops dead in her tracks. She looks at the camera for a second or two and is then overcome with emotion.

She approaches her daughter and grandchild and wraps them both up in a warm and loving embrace. Through her happiness and tears, the new grandmother even waves off the camera capturing the tender moment.

She is going to love being a grandmother! 

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

One man’s beautiful marriage proposal in the airport had many watching and wiping away tears as they looked upon the tear-jerking scene.

Marriage, and the exchanging of vows, is a fantastic, life-long commitment between two people who love one another. The wedding ceremony is one between individuals who promise to stay together through the good and the bad. But before the bride can walk down the aisle to her groom, a particular question must be asked first.

A video posted on social media captures the moment one man proposed marriage to the love of his life. The man’s sweet words had everyone within earshot of the unique moment in tears at the Tampa International Airport. 

The short, 3-minute clip begins with the older gentleman giving the woman flowers, a bouquet of roses. He then plants a kiss on her lips and asks her to take a seat in front of him. 

After the woman finds a seat, the gentleman pulls out a blue box. It’s unclear what piece of jewelry is in the box. They exchange words, but those are also not discernible. However, those mysteries do not diminish this sweet moment at all. 

Seconds later, the man places a knee pillow on the ground, kneels and pulls out a piece of paper with prepared words. It’s now clear to everyone what is about to take place. 

Before he asks her the question, he goes through their long, personal history that spans six decades.

“My dearest Nancy, it’s been 60 years since we first met,” the older gentleman says. “Fifty-six years since we first dated and 10 years since I saw you last and 20 days since we began. You have always been the one I’ve had a crush on since your cheerleader days.”

As the man goes through his prepared words, he picks up quite the crowd. Several travelers stop and take in the moment. Many even take out their phones to film the man proposing marriage to the woman he loves. 

1 Corinthians 13:13 “But now we still have faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.”

Rachel Platten, the singer of “Fight Song,” spent time with a remarkable young man who found inspiration and encouragement from her hit track.

Life is a series of unexpected and often unexplained events. Devastating and tragic occurrences, which alter the trajectory of our lives do take place. Those catastrophic circumstances do not discriminate. They can and do happen to anyone at any time. 

Scout Lawlor and his family know this reality all too well. As the clip posted on YouTube mentions, the young man was involved in a near-fatal automobile crash. The crash left Scout with extensive injuries to his brain.

In the clip, the young man mentions what happened to his body because of the devastating injuries.

“My body forgot everything,” Scout said. “How to walk, how to talk, how to breathe.”

The young man, following the crash, was in for an uphill battle as he started his long road to recovery. As anyone knows who has ever encountered something similar, the road to recovery is filled with many tears and setbacks. 

It was during these instances of extreme frustration and disappointment that Scout’s mother encouraged her son to continue by singing Rachel’s “Fight Song.” 

Scout, in a surprise video call, confessed to the musician how he's been inspired by her song.

“I get it from the ‘Fight Song,’ Scout said. “Literally, it means so much to me.”

In the clip, Rachel responds by telling the young man he has been selected for a unique purpose. 

“You are incredible,” she said. “You know what? You are, you have a big mission in this life.”

Scout mentions that ever since he was involved in the tragic accident, he has reminded himself over and over about why his life was spared.

“Ever since the car accident, I’ve been, like, ‘Well, I clearly have something really big to do, to work up to in my life,’” Scout states.

Rachel, through tears, states her wholehearted agreement with Scout’s statement.

“Yes, you do.”

1 Thessalonians 5:11 “So then, go on comforting and building up one another, as you have been doing.”

Several people testified about God's wondrous and miraculous works in their lives without saying a word as a band performed a beloved and classic hymn.

Life is an experience often filled with problems, issues and struggles. Everyone will encounter their fair share of agonizing situations and heartaches. Unfortunately, no one will escape this life unscathed and without feeling pain at one time or another. 

Thankfully, there is One who has promised that He will never leave or forsake us during these periods. Even in instances when it may not feel or look like it, God is still at work and remains in control.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a group of musicians performs “Blessed Assurance” as people walk out onto the stage carrying cardboard signs. 

“Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His spirit, washed in His blood”

Every sign tells the story of pain, hurt or loss. The signs mention the death of a loved one, experiencing abuse as a child and addiction to drugs and alcohol. However, thankfully that is not the end. Every one of those individuals then flips their signs over, revealing that they have overcome those deep hurts and struggles thanks to God’s abundant power, love and mercy.

The short, 6-minute video, filled with people testifying how God forgave their sins and comforted them during a heartache, is enough to move even the most stoic and unemotional person to tears. 

The world is full of people who have been hurt but God, through His unending love and grace, offers forgiveness and comfort for those who call upon His name. 

What a beautiful clip that perfectly demonstrates the wonderful and life-changing works of God! 

Psalm 23:4 “Yes, though I go through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff they comfort me.”

On her wedding day, a bride made the unusual decision and had not one or two but 15 different men walk her down the aisle.

Weddings are momentous and often emotional occasions where two people exchange vows, promising to remain together through the good and the bad. While most of the attention remains focused on the couple getting hitched, weddings are about more than those two. 

A video posted on YouTube shows how weddings are also about the people who have played a role in our lives until that point. A bride had 15 different men – her brother, her in-laws, childhood coaches and others – walk her down the aisle on her big day.

As she reached the altar, the minister asked, “Who gives this woman to marry this man?” In a show of support and love, all the men answered, “We do.” 

These men stepped up and played a pivotal role in this young woman’s life. They all filled a void left by her biological father. 

As the narrator in the clip explains, the woman grew up with an abusive father. When she was only 16 years old, the woman helped put her father behind bars. 

The short clip states that the woman, who now works in law enforcement as a police officer, married the love of her life on July 15, 2023. The video ends by informing viewers that her husband is also a member of law enforcement. He is a sheriff’s deputy, according to the video.

Yes, weddings are about the love between the couple standing at the altar and saying, “I do.” But as the video shows, this young woman used her wedding day to thank the men who stepped up, loved and supported her throughout life.

What a beautiful and precious moment! It’s one that the bride and the many men who walked her down the aisle will never forget.

1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all you do be done in love.”

Using his guitar, one man turned in a musical demonstration that was literally out of this world.

God is an artist, with his beautiful creation readily on display. Earth is filled with lush landscapes, marvelous mountain ranges and breathtaking, deep blue oceans. Only an all-powerful being with an eye and appreciation for beauty could have designed something so awe-inspiring. 

However, not only did God create the planet and all its inhabitants, but He also placed the sun, moon and stars in place. Humans have begun exploring space, but there is much more to be learned about that part of the Lord’s creation. 

In a clip posted on Twitter, an astronaut demonstrated how to play a musical instrument while in space. The individual in the clip, according to Sunny Skyz, is astronaut Chris Hadfield. 

As Chris shows, playing the guitar in space may be easier than on earth. He mentions that a guitar strap is unnecessary, given the lack of gravity in space. The instrument floats right in front of him, hanging in the air, allowing him to strum the chords. 

Also, he adds that the guitar's strings act the same way they do on earth.

Chris then goes on to demonstrate playing the guitar in space. For a few seconds, he plays what sounds to be the intro to The Animals’ hit, “House of the Rising Sun.”

In addition to the guitar hanging in space, the microphone also stays nearly still in the air, the clip displays. It captures the sound as Chris plays the instrument. 

Before the clip ends, Chris mentions how the instrument helps astronauts learn more about space.

“And it’s nice not having to carry the weight around your neck,” he said. “And it’s just wonderful to be able to play guitar as another human way to try and understand this incredible new experience of leaving the earth.”

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;”

One simple but thoughtful gesture from his fellow employees on his birthday caused a man to break down and become emotional.

No one enjoys getting older. As such, most adults don’t enjoy their birthdays, or at least not as much as they did during childhood. Birthdays are a prominent reminder of the inevitable and unfortunate aging process. However, despite getting older, everyone enjoys knowing someone cares and appreciates them on their special day.

A video posted on YouTube shows just how much one gentleman appreciated the fact that his coworkers remembered his birthday. 

The short clip begins with the birthday boy, Leo, moving about in what appears to be an industrial-sized kitchen. Seconds after the video starts, someone off-camera is heard singing, “Happy birthday.” 

The individual narrating the clip informs viewers that it has been quite some time since Leo has received a birthday cake. That was something his coworkers wanted to change.

As the video continues, the camera gets closer to Leo, he starts pacing around the kitchen. It’s almost as if he’s trying to avoid the person headed toward him, knowing he’s likely to shed a tear or two. 

However, the woman with the cake and the person behind the camera are not deterred. They continue to approach Leo, who attempts to avoid eye contact with them or the camera. Eventually, Leo faces the camera and immediately takes his arms to his eyes. 

The kindness from his coworkers touched Leo, causing him to become emotional. 

What a beautiful and touching moment! 

It may have just been a cake and some singing, but it’s clear that that simple act of kindness and love meant so much to Leo. Acknowledging an individual and showing them that you care and appreciate them can make all the difference to them. 

2 Corinthians 4:16 “For which cause we do not give way to weariness; but though our outer man is getting feebler, our inner man is made new day by day.”

One man in Oklahoma gave police officers a hand when he tackled the fleeing suspect to the ground.

Officers see and interact with some of society's worst elements on a regular basis. Law enforcement is always called to the scene whenever something goes wrong - a fatal crash, a shooting or a domestic disturbance. A police officer’s job can be stressful, to say the least. 

However, a video posted to YouTube shows how one citizen helped to make a terrible situation for a police officer a lot better. The short video begins with an officer politely asking a man in a black shirt, gray shorts and a hat to sit on the side of a busy street. The man had initially been stopped for illegally crossing the street, according to the clip. 

However, instead of taking up the officer on his request, the suspect starts running. He darts across the street with the officer giving chase, only a few steps behind.

But the suspect’s advantage begins to grow. He starts getting further and further away from the officer. The suspect and the officer make it to the other side of the road, with the suspect 

running his way up the sidewalk. Little does he know that he has someone waiting for him.

The video shows a man in an orange t-shirt standing and waiting as the suspect approaches. 

The man then leaps in toward the suspect. He grabs the suspect and tackles him, bringing him down to the ground.

That suspect has been stopped dead in his tracks due to the concerned citizen.

Following the incident, the officer called what Ty Clem, the man who grabbed the suspect, did “amazing.”

“To get all that on bodycam footage, and just to witness it firsthand, it’s pretty amazing,” Officer Josh Metcalf said.

Isaiah 41:10 “Have no fear, for I am with you; do not be looking about in trouble, for I am your God; I will give you strength, yes, I will be your helper; yes, my true right hand will be your support.”

A woman battling cancer had a furry, four-legged best friend anxiously awaiting her return home, and their sweet reunion is enough to cause even the most stoic person to shed a tear.

Cancer is an evil word. Cancer does nothing but harm and destroys. It’s a life-changing diagnosis that’s hard on everyone – the patient, their family and friends. Also, as one tear-jerking video shows, a cancer diagnosis is also challenging for patients' pets.

The clip posted on YouTube begins with Sola essentially picking up that something is wrong with her owner, Yun J. The animal hugs her owner and lets out a light whimper, almost signifying that it understands the situation. 

In the next scene, Yun J sits in a salon chair as a barber cuts her hair. Sola is then confronted with Yun J’s new haircut. Those who watch the clip will see the dog take in the change. Again, the animal seems to understand that the shift means something monumental is about to take place. 

The dog took this especially hard when Sola’s owner had to go away and stay at the hospital for several months. But before Yun J left for the medical facility, Sola added something to the suitcase. The dog places one of her toys in the luggage.

But as the video shows, even though they were away, Sola and Yun J managed to spend time together. Yun J would FaceTime with Sola, with the dog watching as she turned her head back and forth, taking in the picture and sounds of her best friend.

Then, nine months into her hospital stay, Sola finally interacts with Yun J again. Sola could not contain her excitement. She whimpered and whined with joy, practically jumping over her doggy sibling.

Before the clip concludes, Yun J makes her return home to her furry, four-legged best friend. Sola, once again, cannot contain herself. It’s a sweet and touching reunion between two best friends.

Animals are special beings. They are much smarter than most like to admit. Those furry, four-legged creatures continually show they are extremely intelligent and able to grasp the gravity and meaning of situations. 

Proverbs 12:10 “A righteous man regards the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.”

A short and sweet clip catches the moment when a young girl with autism communicates a heartfelt and moving message to her mother for the first time.

Most parents would do anything and everything in their power for their children. They are motivated by unconditional love for their offspring and willing to go to any lengths for their son or daughter. Parents, without question, do enjoy hearing that that love is reciprocated from time to time.

A video posted on YouTube shows the precise moment when a young girl with autism tells her mother that she loves her.

The clip begins with the mother sitting on the ground in what appears to be a bedroom as she holds a book. With the children’s book in her hands, Mom seems to be trying to read to her daughter. However, it doesn’t look to be going according to plan.

The child, as they often do, is having trouble sitting still. One second, she’s sitting on the floor. The next, she’s staring at the camera, and in the next frame, she’s climbing around, halfway out of the camera’s view.

But despite the little girl’s abundance of energy, mom continues to communicate with her daughter. She tells the child, “Thank you” and then, “I love you.” It looks like the girl is doing everything but paying attention to her mother.

But then something remarkable happens!

Before the clip ends, the mother looks down at the book, reading silently. Then, out of nowhere, the child says, “I love you.” Mom cannot believe her ears.

She asks the little girl, “What did you say, Brianna? Did you say, ‘I love you, mom?’”

The clip ends with the little girl and the mother in a loving embrace. What a sweet and precious moment. The mother will cherish it for the rest of her life.

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Delta flight attendants went above and beyond their job descriptions in order to save one couple’s vacation.

Wedding ceremonies, receptions and honeymoons involve a ton of planning and preparation. There is much to do and accomplish for those events to go off without a hitch. Other, less pressing tasks may fall by the wayside or be forgotten altogether. 

One couple knows this reality too well, as a bride’s forgotten passport threatened to ruin her and her new husband’s honeymoon cruise. Luckily for Lawryn and Joe Fellowock, Delta flight attendants were not going to let that happen.

In the clip posted on YouTube, Joe and Lawryn had just finished exchanging vows and saying, “I do,” at their wedding ceremony at a courthouse. The bride and groom hopped on a plane. They were ready to board a cruise and enjoy the beautiful sights and sounds of the Caribbean, or so they thought. 

But there was one major problem. Lawryn had forgotten her passport at home. After reaching out to one of their flight attendants, an operation was launched to recover the passport and deliver it to Lawryn.

The mission to recover the new bride’s passport began with Lawryn’s sister, who went to her home, dug the government document out of her closet and gave it to a Delta flight attendant. That flight attendant flew from Detroit to Atlanta. The passport was then given to a second flight attendant. 

The second flight attendant next boarded a plane traveling from Atlanta to Puerto Rico, where it was placed at the customer service desk. It was at that point when Lawryn picked up her much-needed passport.

Lawryn also learned that, due to the operation, she had picked up somewhat of a nickname. Lawryn said that when she asked about her passport at the desk, the Delta employees reacted joyfully.

“And their faces just lit up,” Lawryn said. “And they were so excited, like, ‘You’re the passport girl.’”

Thanks to the kindness of the Delta employees, Joe and Lawryn were able to enjoy their Caribbean honeymoon.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

A group of supremely talented dancers put their seemingly boundless skills on full display while strutting their stuff to some of the biggest hits across the decades.

Over the years, tastes in nearly everything do change. Fashion is one area where these shifts and transitions are most readily apparent. Not many people wear parachute pants or bell bottoms anymore. Most women today aren’t sporting beehive hairdos. 

Music and dance moves to those sounds have also undergone a dramatic transformation. A clip posted to YouTube perfectly captures those changes as a group of dancers moves and sports the fashion popular across the decades, from the 1950s to today.

Starting in the 1950s, the nearly 8-minute clip begins with an obvious choice: Elvis Presley. With the clip in black and white tones, the five dancers wear clothes that resemble prisoner attire while they dance to “Jailhouse Rock” by Elvis Presley. 

Seconds later, the guys switch clothes, dance moves and decades as they hop into the 1960s. They move along to a song from the classic musical, “West Side Story.” Also, in keeping up with the times, the clip has transitioned from black and white into color. 

Music and dance moves from the 1970s include hits from the Jackson 5, James Brown, The Bee Gees and The Village People. The clothes the dancers wear with each song change and the shift in music genres fits perfectly, making for a logical transition. 

The 1980s must have been an era dominated by the Jackson family. When the clip moves into the 1980s, two more hits from Michael Jackson are included: “Beat It” and “Smooth Criminal.” The guys also dance to “I Miss You Much” by Janet Jackson. 

Michael Jackson’s music makes yet another appearance in the video. This time in the 1990s, the dance troupe showed their sure-footed moves to Michael’s “Dangerous.” The boy band craze of the 1990s is also rightly represented when the guys dance to The Backstreet Boys’ hit “As Long as You Love Me.”

Other hits included in the epic clip of popular music and stunning dance moves include “Oops I Did it Again,” Usher’s “Yeah” and “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga.

Psalm 30:11 “You have turned for me my mourning into dancing: you have put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness.”

Photos that caught a man’s facial expressions as he watched the birth of his daughter have gotten a lot of attention.

Every child is a blessing from the good Lord above. Each child has value and a purpose, designed by the One who created the universe. All parents will agree that children add joy, happiness and love to life. 

However, how a child enters the world – the actual birthing process – is not for everyone. While a baby is, without a doubt, a blessing, some may prefer not to watch the birth. One man captured in a video posted on YouTube agrees with that statement, at least his facial expressions would lead many to believe that to be the case. 

Brett Stills, a 32-year-old from Jonesboro, Arkansas, was in the room as his girlfriend, 30-year-old Amanda Roelofs, who was in labor for six hours, gave birth to their third child, a girl. While he may have been in the room, his face makes it clear that he likely would have preferred to have been elsewhere at that moment.

Brett states that he was in the room when his son was born but admits there is nothing like witnessing the birth of a child.

“My second son, or my son, he, I watched that completely,” Brett said. “It was crazy, too. But this one was just, I guess that’s just something you can’t get used to, you know, seeing a baby born.”

Amanda said that viewing the photos of Brett’s facial expressions watching the birth caused her to laugh hysterically. 

“I didn’t get to see them for a while until, like, we got back to the room later on,” Amanda said. “And I just cracked up and then I, like, zoomed in on his face, and I was just dying laughing.”

After she posted the photos of Brett’s hilarious reactions online, it began taking off, garnering a ton of likes and shares. 

John 16:21 “When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world.”

There always seems to be something extra powerful about a performance done on ice. Check out this epic video of ice skating legend Kurt Browning as he performs one last time.

The video starts with a large projection of previous skates and competitions of Kurt through the years. We see him in his 80s best doing flips and twists. He is absolutely incredible at his sport. What he has been able to accomplish is such excitement and athleticism. He has portrayed many personas in his years of skating. This is his farewell “Stars on Ice.” The performance is emotional thinking about how this is his final time in front of a live audience before his retirement. 

He enters the rink older and grayer, but as strong and graceful as ever. He has such poise and elegance in his skates. The music is compelling and exciting as we see him invite others onto the ice rink. He begins to tell a story of his year of learning and growing as an artist. The next generation follow his lead and copy his moves. It is as if he is telling his life as a skater through the classes, the duets, and the years that he has had within his sport all in one song.

Looking back on our own years of life can be very emotional and celebratory. We remember the incredible things that we have been able to be a part of, as well as God’s lessons for us in the trials and the hardships. As we watch Kurt and the group perform, we see the larger picture of his impact of multiplication as a skater.

As we ponder the impact that we want to make on this world, we think about the beauty of sharing the gospel of Christ and multiplying our faith. We are called to imitate Jesus and share His hope of the gospel with the world. He receives all the glory for our lives.

“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;  and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.” Ephesians 5:1-2

A young child battling cancer received a touching, moving gift in the hospital that brought her a little happiness during her grueling fight.

Cancer is always a scary and frightening diagnosis. It can be absolutely life-shattering to both the patient and their family. It can be especially devastating and heart-wrenching when the person diagnosed with the horrible disease is a child. 

That’s why the moment when Alaia, a 1-year-old girl battling leukemia, was given a pink, remote control car is so incredibly heartwarming. Her reaction to the surprise is enough to cause even the most stoic and unemotional person to shed a tear.

According to the clip posted on YouTube, the pink car was from the group “Little Wishes.” The organization, according to its website, is committed to making “a big difference for seriously ill, hospitalized children facing difficult journeys.”

When Alaia was in the hospital receiving treatment, she would spend some time visiting other patients and hospital staff. Now, thanks to Little Wishes, Alaia can do her rounds in style.

Alaia’s mother in the clip recalls what had been the worst part of seeing her daughter fight cancer.

“It was hard knowing just knowing that I can’t do anything as her mom,” she said. “I can’t help her. All I can do is provide comfort, but I can’t take the pain away, you know? I can’t take her place. That’s, like, the hardest part.”

But the story does not end there!
