Mom’s Emotional Reaction When Surprised by Son She Hasn’t Seen in Years

Children can be difficult, stressful, expensive and tiring at times. Despite this, most parents would still do anything they could for their children. A parent’s love for their child is an unfailing kind that endures time and distance. A video on social media shows the kind of long-lasting love a parent has for a child.

A video posted on Instagram shows the absolute joy and surprise on a parent’s face after an unexpected encounter with her child. The video is of a parent reuniting with her child after being apart for 2 years, according to the video’s caption.

The video shows what appears to be a small family gathering or party. People fill the small room, with individuals sitting or standing in various spots. 

The short clip continues as a woman sits on a couch, looking down a hallway as somebody holds up a rug. Everyone in the room stares in the direction of the rug as it dangles in the air expectantly. The rug soon after drops, but there is nothing. Party attendees share a laugh as they were all obviously expecting something!

After being directed to hold on for just a few seconds, a man picks up the carpet off the floor. It’s time to give it one more attempt. It’s time for take two.

The carpet drops for the second time. Now, we see a man and a woman holding a baby. Following the big reveal, the camera switches positions. The camera now shows us the woman on the couch who has immediately burst into tears.

Seconds later and mom and son share in an extended and loving embrace. 

What a sweet, heartfelt reunion! There likely wasn’t a dry eye in that entire room.

Doctor Gives Blind Mom 3D Ultrasound So She Can ‘See’ Her Baby

Being an expectant parent, preparing for the arrival of a baby is a stressful and anxiety-filled period. There’s seemingly so much to do before that little bundle of joy arrives and never enough time to do it. However, one woman, who has a physical disability, was able to enjoy a special ultrasound so she could see the baby before the big day.

Ashton Johnson is awaiting the birth of her baby boy. However, Ashton is visually impaired and has been unable to see her child in any of the ultrasounds that have been done, according to KETV.

Instead, Ashton has had to rely on her husband, Logan, to describe them to her. That is until Ashton’s OBGYN came up with something, something special for Ashton.

“And so, the thought came like, ‘It’d be really nice to give her something tangible to hold on to, to feel the contours of the baby’s face and to really get an understanding of what baby looks like,”’ Dr. Katie Sekpe said to KETV

So, Dr. Sekpe got to work and teamed up with another OBGYN. The doctors then turned those ultrasound images into 3D models. That way, through touch, Ashton would be able to “see” her baby.

Ashton was overcome with emotion after her medical team presented her with the 3D ultrasound.

“Thank you so much, guys,” Ashton said. “This really means so much to me, thank you.”

While Ashton continued to express her gratitude for the special gift, she also stated that others in a similar position get to experience something so special.

“I hope other moms get to do this because this is so cool,” she said

Wow, what a fantastic and special gift to give a mother! Ashton really has a group of medical professionals who have a heart for their patients.

15-Year-Old Isabeau Levito’s Winning Figure Skating Routine

Athletes spend countless hours in the gym, in the ring or on the ice practicing and perfecting their craft. An athlete's relentless pursuit and tenacious dedication aimed at their goal are beyond admirable. One young athlete recently experienced the fruits of all her labor.

Isabeau Levito is a United States figure skating champion. The athlete from New Jersey won the title with a near-flawless routine. To make her new distinction even more impressive, Isabeau is only 15 years old! 

The clip posted to YouTube shows the teenager skating to victory during her stunning, title-winning routine. Isabeau skates around on the ice with elegance, grace and tons of athleticism and strength.

Isabeau’s routine consisted of jumps, spins and several other mind-blowing moves that displayed both her technical skating ability as well as her artistry.

The television commentators were rightly stunned throughout her routine.

“Oh, these jumps are gorgeous!” one of them said.

At the end of her routine, that same commentator summed up Isabeau’s routine perfectly.

“That was a gold-medal skate if I ever saw one,” the commentator said. “Perfection. Precision. She takes her jumping passes with the precision of a heart surgeon but then she floats around like a ballerina. It’s the perfect mix that you want in figure skating.”

Following her big win, Isabeau mentioned that she was pleased with how she reacted during a taut, tense moment.

“I was just so proud of myself for staying so calm and staying so focused, doing exactly what I aimed to do,” she said, according to CNN. “I’m ready to start bouncing off the walls.”

This teenager has a bright future in the world of competitive figure skating. The Olympics and possibly several medals are likely in this young woman’s future. 

Congrats, Isabeau!

Family Uses Grandpa’s Boat to Rescue Cousin Lost at Sea

Hope and love will cause people to act in extraordinary ways, to push themselves and others beyond their limits. Both hope and love will cause people to keep going even when the odds are decidedly not in their favor. One video is a perfect example of what is possible with a little bit of hope and love.

A video posted to YouTube shows the moment a family was reunited with a man who had been lost at sea for nearly four hours. 

That man, Dylan Gartenmayer, became lost at sea off the coast of Florida after he was swept away by a current while spearfishing with a couple of buddies, the clip states. Dylan says that when he was finally able to resurface, he did not see his boat anywhere. 

To try and find him, the U.S. Guard launched a search for Dylan. However, another search party - Tabitha, Dylan’s mom, a family friend, Dylan’s friend, a cousin and his grandfather Edward - took off in a boat in hopes of finding Dylan in the ocean. 

Hours after he first went missing, when nightfall was approaching, Dylan admits that he thought his life may be over.

“Yeah, one point, whenever that sun had set, this could, this could definitely be the end,” he said.

With hope, love and Dylan’s last known coordinates in the ocean, his family and friends headed to the spot - a favorite of Dylan’s. Sure enough, that’s where his family and friends and not the U.S. Coast Guard found and rescued the young man.

The video shows the pure joy and jubilation of the people onboard the boat as they spot Dylan floating in the water. Several people can be seen jumping up and down, screaming in excitement. 

Dylan’s mother, Tabitha, in the interview, detailed what she did seconds after they successfully pulled Dylan onto the boat. 

“As soon as we got him on the boat, I just held him tight because he was freezing. He was shaking,” she said. 

Tabitha added that divine intervention did play a role in them finding Dylan.

“I’m telling you it’s a miracle, “ she said. 

Praise God this young man was found alive!

‘Never Gonna Be Alone’ Set to Touching Sand Art

Beauty can and does come from some of the most unexpected places. Whenever there is a terrible, awful tragedy, people will often react with overwhelming love and kindness that displays the best of humanity. One YouTube video also helps to remind us that beauty can come when we least expect it. 

The clip features an artist working with sand to create beautiful images as a piano instrumental of Jacob Collier’s “Never Gonna Be Alone” is played.

On the screen, we see sand scattered about as a hand appears periodically to move and form the granular particles. Often, we’re left wondering about the artist’s intentions and direction as he is creating, but when we see his finished product, we’re stunned at what he’s done. 

The first stunning image is that of an ocean scene at nightfall. Clouds litter the sky as the moon interacts with the water, seemingly appearing to touch the ocean.

After a few seconds, the artist’s hand is back on the screen. The artist begins to elongate the objects that acted as clouds in the previous scene. Again, we’re thinking, “Where is the artist going? What does this person have in mind?” A couple of minor tweaks later, and the artist has constructed an entirely different but just as visually stunning image!

The soothing piano instrumental that plays throughout the video and the visuals of the artist creating stunning sand art combine to make for a very comforting and calming clip. 

Much like the artist on screen, God can take what we see as nothing more than a mess and use those very same elements to create something truly breathtaking and beautiful!

Damar Hamlin Shares ‘God Using Me’ After Collapse on Field

One man, who was at the center of a horrific and disturbing scene on national television, says God is already using him as a vessel to accomplish good works.

Anyone who watched the Monday Night Football game between the Buffalo Bills and the Cincinnati Bengals witnessed a scary incident. During the first quarter of the game, Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field following a tackle. 

He suffered cardiac arrest. After medics on the field successfully got his heart beating again, he was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. 

Now, out of the hospital, he continues to recover. Damar, in a video on social media, says he believes God is already using what happened to him during the football game for good.

“What happened to me on Monday Night Football, I feel is a direct example of God using me as a vessel to share my passion and my love directly from my heart with the entire world,” Damar said in a video posted to Instagram

In the video, Damar mentions what he will do with the love and support he’s received during this time. 

“And I’m able to give it back to kids and communities all across the world who need it the most and that’s always been my dream. It’s always been what I stood for and what I’ll continue to stand for,” he said.

Damar also adds that this is just the beginning. He has much bigger plans for how he hopes to continue being a role model for children and to help those in need.

“This is just the beginning of the impact that I wanted to have on the world,”  Damar said. “And with God’s guidance, I will continue to do wonderful and great things.”

In the video, Damar also thanked a laundry list of people for their love and support, including his doctors and medical staff, the Bills organization, his teammates and Bills fans.

‘Somebody to Love’ by Jacob Collier an Audience Choir

The band Queen has some of the most distinct and recognizable songs. Queen's unmistakable and well-defined sound can be spotted from a mile away. One musician had an entire audience singing along with him to one of the band’s classic hits.

In a video posted to YouTube, Jacob Collier, while performing in Lisbon, Portugal, played the Queen tune, “Somebody to Love.” However, he wasn’t the only one who joined in on the cover. He had a little help from hundreds of other people.

The clip begins with Jacob singing the intro, playing on the keyboard and pointing at the crowd. Several people start yelling, likely because they immediately recognized the song.

Then after a shot of Jacob on stage, the clip shows a look at the massive audience that has come to hear and watch him. It very much looks like a sold-out venue. After a few seconds at the keyboard, Jacob moves onto the piano and continues singing the lyrics. 

The entire time this is going on, the crowd is singing right along with him! 

At about the halfway point in the clip, near the 4:25-minute mark, Jacob moves out near the end of the stage. He starts directing the audience in song, much like a choir director. Jacob and the audience never miss a single note throughout the video.  

It is a fantastic performance of a classic song!

Many posted comments on the video showing the absolutely dazzling rendition of Queen’s song.

“The way he managed to make the crowd sing polyphonically… I wouldn’t have thought this was even remotely possible. Unbelievable,” one person wrote.

“I had the pleasure of being there. The whole concert was beautiful. Had much fun watching everyone perform,” a second person commented on the video.

Gymnast’s ‘Barbie’ Gymnastics Routine Goes Viral

Athletes exemplify a lot of what is best about our society. Athletes must possess a ton of self-discipline, dedication and determination to compete at a high level. One athlete with all three traits is getting a lot of attention for her unique routine.

Gymnasts are exceptional athletes who move and contort their bodies in a variety of astonishing ways. Many can also effortlessly glide through the air with unbelievable elegance and grace. College gymnast Rebekah Ripley displayed all of those and more as she performed a recent floor routine. She did so as if she was the doll Barbie.

Rebekah’s routine has been viewed more than 345,000 times on YouTube!

In the clip, Rebekah’s routine begins as she shifts her arms and legs in a very stiff, unnatural manner. Her movement really does resemble that of Barbie. Also, most of Rebekah’s routine is accompanied by, yes, you guessed it: Aqua’s 1997 hit “Barbie Girl.”

About 15 seconds in the clip, Rebekah demonstrates her skill and athleticism as she does several backflips consecutively before landing in near-perfect position and form. 

Around the 50-second mark, she hilariously pantomimes a toy being turned off as her arms and head hang down toward the floor. Seconds later, she moves her body in a way that mirrors a toy powered back on.  

Rebekah appears to be enjoying herself, acting as one of the most influential and recognizable dolls in history. The commentators make a similar assessment, remarking on Rebekah’s apparent joy during her routine. 

As inventive as Rebekah’s routine is, a statement from one of the commentators makes her performance even more outstanding. He mentions the large, very apparent knee brace on Rebekah’s left knee. 

“Quite a story. You see that knee brace,” the commentator says. “That’s two recoveries from ACL tears.”

What an awesome display of strength, athleticism and sheer determination.

83-Year-Old Actor’s Glee When He Realizes Crowd is Cheering for Him

Hollywood, and entertainment in general, is a very fickle, hard-to-predict industry. What people like to watch and listen to today is not the same thing they were into yesterday or even the day before that. Most people are always looking for the latest and greatest thing. Knowing this is likely why one elderly actor appeared to be genuinely surprised and thrilled when fans began cheering for him.

Actors and actresses, as is the custom for most awards, will walk the red carpet, pose for pictures and do interviews. On occasion, they will glance and acknowledge the cheering fans with a wave or look. Most of the time when they do this, it appears fake and or forced. 

But actor F. Murray Abraham was genuinely surprised at the reaction he received from fans. He seemed to really appreciate their enthusiasm, as the video on Instagram shows

Prior to the recent 2023 Golden Globes award ceremony, F. Murray was walking by and the crowd started to cheer wildly. He stopped and smiled as his eyes grew big with delight and appreciation. 

The video shows him clapping and then blowing the group of fans kisses as he mouths “thank you.”

He then poses so the group of fans can get photos. He opens his suit jacket and turns from side to side. After a few seconds of playing to the crowd, he laughs to himself, waves at them and then continues on his way along the carpet.

F. Murray was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Television Series/Motion Picture for his role in the popular HBO show The White Lotus. 

Unfortunately, F. Murray did not win. But in an industry built entirely on getting people to believe that what is fake is real, it’s nice to see authentic, genuine reactions, surprise and appreciation from actors and actresses.

4-Year-Old ‘Genius’ Boy Can Count in 7 Languages

Possessing a high amount of intelligence is a blessing and a gift from God. Understanding, comprehending and adequately processing tons of information will take someone far in life. One child in England has certainly been blessed with a large quantity of intelligence and a natural curiosity for the world around him.

As the clip makes perfectly clear, Teddy Hobbs is not just like any other 4-year-old you’re likely to encounter. He is extremely, extremely smart.

For most children, counting to 10 and being able to tie their shoes is a major milestone. Not only can Teddy count to 100, but he can do it in 7 languages. Oh, and he was already counting to 100 by the time he was 2 years old.

Teddy, the video states, has already been admitted to MENSA, a group that recognizes those possessing a high degree of intelligence. Teddy is the organization’s youngest member in the United Kingdom. He was added to MENSA at just 3 years and 7 months old.

But if you think Teddy’s impressive intelligence is the work of overbearing and demanding parents, you would be wrong.

“Teddy has done all of this himself,” Beth Hobbs, Teddy’s mother said. “When we go out and give him the option of a treat, he wants a book rather than chocolate.”

The video, which shows young Teddy working with an abacus and sitting at a computer, states that when it came to reading, he taught himself. 

Amazing!

Teddy has a level of intelligence rarely seen in someone his age. Let’s pray and hope that Teddy’s gifts are properly nurtured and developed throughout the early stages of his life. God has a special plan and purpose for young Teddy!

2 Peter 1:5 “Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;”

Daughters Helped Injured Reporter Survive Bombing in Ukraine

Russia’s unprovoked invasion of and assault on Ukraine continues. Russia has inflicted death and destruction upon the small European country. However, one person who was terribly injured during Vladimir Putin’s ongoing deadly assault on Ukraine found strength and motivation from his children. 

Benjamin Hall was in Ukraine’s capital city, Kyiv, reporting on Russia’s invasion of the country last March. At one point during his travels, Benjamin’s vehicle was struck by Russian bombs, according to Inside Edition.

Benjamin suffered devastating injuries. He ended up losing a leg, both of his feet, can only see through one eye and lost the use of a hand, he said during an appearance on Fox News. 

Benjamin, in the aftermath of the attack, said he knew he was badly injured. However, he was able to find the determination to make it out alive. 

“I saw my own daughters, my young daughters and they brought me back,” Benjamin said

Without his children, Benjamin says he would not have survived the attack. 

“And I found the strength. I opened my eyes and I managed to crawl out of the car. And then the third bomb hit the car itself and if it weren’t for them bringing me back, there’s no way I would be here today,” he said.

While Benjamin was badly injured, the attack was also deadly. A cameraman and an interpreter traveling with Benjamin were both killed.

But despite all of this, Benjamin said that he “feels more confident than I ever have.”

Benjamin also provided words of advice for people enduring hardships and difficult times in life.

“Never give up. Never assume it’s all over,” he said.

Benjamin's story is one of love, determination and the will to survive!

Audience Choir’s Music Will Give You Chills

Music has the uncanny ability to cause human beings to feel a whole slew of emotions. Whether it’s a favorite song from the past or a hymn that has a special meaning or memory attached to it, music does cause genuine reactions. One video on social media is likely to cause you to react with astonishment.

The video on Instagram shows one man on stage directing an auditorium full of people in the singing of a song. According to the video, the breathtaking display of musical talent took place in Singapore.

As the video shows, the man walks back and forth across the stage. He directs the audience when and how to sing. He moves his hands and arms up and down, signaling how high and low to sing. 

What we hear, though, is incredible! The massive audience, at the man’s direction, sings right on cue and together. The resulting sound is astonishing!

Wow!

To make the clip even more amazing is the fact that the people in the audience do not even know one another. In fact, as the video points out, complete strangers comprise the audience. 

The caption to the video reads that “it doesn’t matter where you go – human beings sound so beautiful.”

Another person commented on the sound from the audience, writing, “sounds so beautiful.”

You cannot watch this clip and come away with anything other than authentic surprise and amazement at the audience’s essentially pitch-perfect sound! People, much like music, also have a way of coming together to create something beautiful. This video is a perfect example of the good that human beings can create. 

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

The Search for Truth (Darin)

Darin faced a dilemma. He had growing questions about what his church was teaching. Then he discovered Bible Answers Live on the radio while driving to work. It changed his life!

Volunteers Criticized After Helping Abandoned Babies at Orphanage

Criticizing and critiquing someone else does not take much effort or any skill. When people act to make a difference, others sit back and point out the flaws in those actions or plans. Nevertheless, two sisters received criticism for their efforts to help orphaned and abandoned babies.

During an appearance on The Ellen Show, two sisters from Pennsylvania – Jamie and Ali McMurtie – mentioned how they were criticized for helping to rescue more than 50 orphaned and abandoned children in Haiti following an earthquake.

Jamie and Ali worked at an orphanage whose building had fallen and was no longer safe to be in due to the earthquake in the country. The children had nothing. 

The two sisters worked to bring those children to the United States. Ellen, during the interview, pointed out that the sisters received criticism for their efforts to help the abandoned children.

“We were surprised,” Ali said at the response they received for helping children.

Jamie stated that the children had no one to take care of them.

“Some of the kids didn’t have adoptive families, “Jamie said. “But they were abandoned. We were taking care of them in Haiti. Now they didn’t have Haitian parents and they didn’t have a house in Haiti, and we felt they deserved some aid. And so, we brought them here.”

Ali mentioned that she and her sister had a goal in mind. 

“When we asked to leave, we decided we weren’t going to leave one child,” Ali said. “Jamie and I were going to leave with our whole family. So, to say those children had to stay, they literally would have just been alone.”

During the interview, the two sisters pointed out that they have a new little brother. Their parents were already in the process of adopting one of the children from the orphanage. 

Matthew 19:14 “Jesus said, ‘Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.’”
