Disney has released dozens of classic films. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid are just a few. However, in the last decade, no Disney film has reached the popularity of Frozen and one of the film’s songs, in particular.

Soon after Russian forces began their unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, a video of a little Ukrainian girl went viral. The video shows the child in a bomb shelter in her native Ukraine with dozens of others as she sings. 

The child, in Ukrainian, sings “Let It Go,” the popular earworm song from Disney’s Frozen film. 

Such a beautiful moment! Crying babies were even quiet during the performance. 

Well, that little girl, who warmed the hearts of many around the world, was invited to sing that song in front of a live, massive studio audience. 

The audience loves her performance, applauding wildly and giving her a standing ovation. 

However, little did the girl – 7-year-old Amelia Anisovych - know that she would meet the real Elsa! At the conclusion of her performance, the two women who played the Disney princesses – Anna and Elsa – in the West End play version of the film, came out on stage in costume, as the video shows. 

The two women continue singing the song. One sings in English, while the other sings in Ukrainian as they approach the little girl. Both give her a massive hug. 

To say the little girl was overjoyed would be an understatement! She doesn’t even try to hide that she is thrilled to be meeting Anna and Elsa. Amelia’s eyes widen in surprise, and she has a smile that reaches from ear to ear. 

Young Amelia’s genuine reaction is enough to cause even the most hard-hearted person to shed a tear or two! 

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

Everyone likes music, right? Regardless of age, sex, occupation or education level, all enjoy a sweet and pleasant sound that speaks to them. Now, the type of music people like and to what degree will certainly vary. While all may not, most people are sure to enjoy a dazzling performance from a young violinist. 

In one YouTube clip, Karolina Protsenko shows off her immense skills on the violin in what appears to be outside of a busy mall. The talented musician treats mallgoers to the sweet sounds of her violin as she plays Rema’s “Calm Down.”

It’s obvious right from the get-go that not only does this violinist have loads of musical ability, but she thoroughly loves playing the instrument. She spends a good portion of the nearly 4-minute clip dancing around, twisting and turning around to the sound of the beautiful music.

Several people in the clip completely stop, seemingly enchanted by the expert-level violin performance taking place right in front of them. 

At the end of her performance, the handful of people who have stopped to watch her applaud their approval. 

If the musician wasn’t already impressive enough, Karolina’s YouTube channel states that she is not even old enough to drive a car. She is only 14 years old!

She has been greatly blessed with musical talent! Others commenting on the YoutTube clip of her performance seem to wholeheartedly agree.

“Karolina never ceases to give me goosebumps of pure heaven when she plays her violin. We’re watching her grow into a beautiful, talented and kind young woman. Karolina is a Blessing for us all. We are fortunate to hear her music. Thank you, Karolina,” one person wrote. 

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.”

Catching a break or having someone show a little mercy can go a long way for someone in a difficult position. Whether it be because of an unexpected expense, job loss or some other unforeseen event, there are times when we are all in need of some mercy. One judge recently displayed compassion for a woman in a tight spot.

A video on TikTok shows a nervous young woman in court facing Judge Frank Caprio. The woman was standing in the judge’s courtroom to answer for several parking tickets.

As the judge explains in the clip, the woman has accumulated four overnight parking tickets, totaling $200 in fines. The woman tells the judge that she received the tickets from the same location. 

We learn the woman is in the process of changing places of employment. She will soon be starting at a bank.

Initially, the judge orders her to pay just $20 for the tickets. But a little later in the clip, we learn another big piece of information about the woman. 

She is the mother of a 10-month-old baby girl, whom she is caring for by herself. The judge changes his ruling.

“Oh, we can’t let you pay $20 because then, I don’t know, maybe when you go home tonight, you need some food for the baby and if you pay $20 here, maybe you won’t be able to afford the food, “the judge said. “So, I’m not going to do that.”

However, things take an unexpected turn and instead of paying the court, the judge gives her money. The judge mentions that people across the country send in money to help those in need.

“So, I am going to, from the generosity of people throughout the country who have sent in cash, I am going to give you $50,” the judge announces. 

The judge asks two things of the young single mother: she takes care of her infant daughter and helps someone in need down the road.

Deuteronomy 7:9 “Know therefore that the Lord your God, he is God, the faithful God, which keeps covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations.”

When it comes to songs that get the cover treatment, it is hard to top “Drops of Jupiter.” For a while, it seemed everyone was putting out a version of the Train hit. However, coming in a close second for the number of covers it has generated has to be Vanessa Carlton's tune, “A Thousand Miles.” Cimorelli takes their turn singing the Carlton song.

Cimorelli, who are five sisters – Christina, Katherine, Lisa, Amy and Lauren – are joined by their mother in the video. The five sisters sing and harmonize together as their mom sits and plays the piano.

While at the piano tickling the ivories, her five daughters sit and stand behind her as they sing the 2002 song. All the girls shine as they beautifully blend their voices together for the verses and the tune’s memorable chorus.

“Do you think time would pass me by?
‘Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles
If I could just see you tonight”

However, about 2 minutes into the video, at approximately the 1:45-minute mark in the video, they change things up a bit. Mom joins her daughters and begins singing along to the hit about someone longing to see another person. 

In addition to playing the piano and like her daughters, mom can sing!

As Cimorelli mentions in the caption to the video, they got their start by singing in church. The girls sang in the church choir in addition to in barbershops and entertained the elderly at nursing homes.

The church and faith remain incredibly important to the talented young women. 

“Our Christian faith guides our decisions, and we will always create content that is family friendly, while not being afraid to touch on topics that we believe are important, such as mental health and personal growth,” the description of the video reads. 

Psalms 89:1 “I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever: with my mouth will I make known your faithfulness to all generations.”

Everyone wants to live a long and healthy life, able to maintain some type of independence in their advanced age. No one wants to be in a position where they must rely on someone else for assistance to complete simple and mundane daily tasks. Yes, longevity and good health are the goals in life. One woman has achieved both long-term objectives.

A woman in England is 101 years old and still continues to practice ballet every day, according to The Independent. That ambitious woman is Dinkie Flowers and she was a former professional dancer.

Not only does Dinkie continue to practice ballet, but she hosts daily dancing and other lessons at her stage school that encourages people to get and remain active, the outlet reports. 

Dancing has been a lifelong activity and love for Dinkie. She started dancing way back in 1924 when she was only 3 years old. 

If you’re wondering if Dinkie has any intention of giving up ballet, it’s an emphatic no.

The former professional dancer told The Independent there is only one way that she’ll give up the art and activity of ballet. Dinkie has plans to continue practicing ballet “until they take me away in a box.”

What an amazing woman and a terrific outlook on activity and life!

Now, does Dinkie have any secrets to achieving a long and healthy life? Yes, Dinkie encourages people of all ages to get up and move!

“You could be 30 or 100, but as long as you have movement you are fit and well,” Dinkie said. 

Dinkie has certainly been blessed to continue to be able to do what she loves into her advanced age! 

Deuteronomy 5:33 “You shall walk in all the ways which the Lord your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.”

As much as we’d hate to admit it, gossip and rumors usually spread like wildfire, as the old saying goes. People, for whatever reason, seem to enjoy discussing matters and situations in the lives of others. One video shows a teacher addressing a rumor in front of a classroom full of students.

The YouTube video begins with a man standing at the front of the classroom. He is all business, looking to confront a rumor and gossip involving himself and a colleague. As the man does this, a woman stands directly to his right and does so throughout the video. 

“Raise your hand if you have heard a rumor about Miss Barker and I,” the male teacher asks the class. 

The excited students finally get the answer to the much-talked-about rumor about the two teachers.

“There is a rumor going around that Miss Barker and I are dating,” the man says. “So, the answer is yes, we are dating.”

The students erupt in excitement at the confirmation of the romantic relationship between the two educators. But the male teacher takes things a step further!

“We are a little bit more than dating because I am in completely in love with her,” he says. 

After more excited yelling from the students and someone in the room telling the kids that “this is his moment, let him have it,” the male teacher continues.

“I was wondering if Miss Barker would like to become Mrs. Seifert,” he asks as he gets down on one knee and proposes to the woman.

We do not hear her answer through all the hooting and hollering from the students. However, it is a safe bet she said yes. The two embrace longingly as the video comes to an end. 

Isaiah 62:5 “For as a young man takes a virgin for his wife, so will your maker be married to you: and as a husband has joy in his bride, so will the Lord your God be glad over you.”

Each season brings its own fun as well as challenges. Winter, while often a beautiful time of year, can be dangerous. Mainly due to the snow and ice, people can sustain serious injuries. One person narrowly missed being hurt by some of that wintry weather.

A video on social media shows that a woman just missed possibly incurring injury while cleaning snow off a house.

The begins innocently enough with the woman inside a house, opening the front door and then stepping outside. In her hand, the woman has a tool. 

It appears to be a shovel of some sort.

Anyway, wherever this woman lives has just received a good amount of snowfall. We can see several inches of snow has piled up on the deck in front of the door. But she is not concerned at all with the snow on the deck.

Instead, her focus and efforts are all directed toward the show that oddly hangs off the house. The woman, hoping to rid the roof of the overhanging snow, begins swiping and hitting at the snow with the shovel-like tool.

She hits at the snow on the roof of the house and does so the first time to moderate success. We see some snow fall to the ground. Not satisfied, she does it again. The result is like the first time. Not a whole lot of snow falls. 

The third time's the charm, right? Well, she does it again and even less snow falls than the two previous times. Then she does it a couple more times and she’s making progress, but not much. 

However, things quickly change. She takes one strike too many at the snow and it all falls to the ground in one big clump!

The woman narrowly misses becoming covered in snow! Quick reflexes and swift reaction time are definitely blessings! 

Job 8:21 “The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.”

Having deep and committed friendships with people who can be counted on during turbulent times is priceless. One new film, 80 for Brady, features relationships that have endured the test of time and inevitable troubles. Likewise, a new song from the film featuring Dolly Parton and several other recognizable faces, is all about these important bonds.

On “Gonna Be You” Dolly is joined by Belinda Carlisle, Cyndi Lauper and Gloria Estefan. In the video for the catchy tune, the ladies take turns singing to the camera as they each wear the iconic number 12 Tom Brady New England Patriots jersey.

Throughout the video, there are clips of scenes from the upcoming film. 

The chorus paints a picture of a deep, committed friendship - the type of friend we all want in life. 

“It’s gonna be you
Who comes to my rescue anytime that I’m drownin’
Into the cold deep water, yeah, you’re gonna dive in”

YouTube users commenting on the video absolutely loved the new song from the legendary singers!

“Oh my gosh I could cry. These ladies are icons and I’m so glad they’re still here. This is history and young actresses and singers need to take note. This is how it’s done. They are beautiful, beyond talented, sexy and clothed,” one person wrote. 

“This is so amazing! So positive and uplifting. These legends have contributed to the soundtrack of our lives. Come on, what Gloria and Dolly have done for country and latin music is incredible. Bravo Diane Warren!!!,” another person posted.

Much like the song, the film features a cast of legendary actresses. Sally Field, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Lily Tomlin lead the cast. 80 for Brady is rated PG-13 and opens in theaters on February 3. 

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

Weddings are happy but often emotional occasions. There are times during the festivities when the bride, the groom or the parents of the happy couple shed a tear or two or three. But in one instance, it was the child of the bride who was overcome with emotion before the ceremony.

A video shows the moment 11-year-old Mekhi Sheffield first saw his mother on her big day in her wedding dress. Young Mekhi had a wave of emotions hit him when he saw her. He broke down into tears.

The video begins with Mekhi’s mom, standing in her wedding dress, asking if he’s ready to walk her down the aisle. Seconds later, Mekhi has tears streaming down his face.

“I’m so happy for you,” Mekhi tells his mother.

The YouTube clip then goes into some background and what led up to that sweet show of emotion from young Mekhi.  

“Me and my mom have been through quite a bit together,” Mekhi said. “All of those moments just replayed in my mind. And I was like, ‘Wow, we’ve really been through a lot and we’re finally here.”’

Mekhi’s mother then goes into the struggles the two of them faced together and some of the tough decisions they had to make.

“And at times, you know, it was either he ate, or I ate,” Mekhi’s mother said. “And he ate every time.”

After an abusive relationship, the two discussed the man Mekhi’s mother would eventually marry. Both talked about the process of introducing him to her son, Mekhi, and the exact time she knew he was the one.

The touching clip ends with Mekhi sharing some heartfelt advice for those with just one parent in their life.

The special tenderhearted moment between mom and son before she said “I do” to her now husband is something they will cherish for the rest of their lives. 

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

Michael Bublé, when not acting in commercials for a drink spelled similarly to his last name, is a very talented and successful musician. Some of his most well-known songs include “Haven’t Met You Yet,” “It’s a Beautiful Day” and “Everything.” One duo chose to cover another one of his hits: “Sway.”

Jake & Shelby, a duo from Nashville, Tennessee took a stab at the Michael Bublé hit. But instead of just one video, the pair of musicians put up two videos- just a week apart from one another - where they covered “Sway.” 

“Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have that magic technique
When we say, I go weak”

The videos of the very same song have two dramatically different looks. 

The first video for “Sway” was uploaded to YouTube on Oct. 7 of last year. This video looks more like what we’ve come to expect when we think of a music video. Both are dressed to the nines as they play and sing the Michael Bublé hit on a stage in a brightly and expertly lit room. 

Unlike the first video, the second one, released on Oct. 14, 2022, does not have all the glitz and glamor. It’s a simple and straightforward clip. The duo sits outside, next to one another as Jake plays the guitar and Shelby sings the love song’s lyrics.  

The musicians never change locations or even move throughout the video. The camera pans back and forth, from side to side, and moves in for a close-up once or twice. But otherwise, the video is mainly about the performers and their musical ability.

Surprisingly, though, their second video has several thousand more views. The first has been watched a little less than 130,000 times, while the other video has more than 161,000 views. 

Psalms 40:30 “And he has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God: many shall see it, and fear and shall trust in the Lord.”

Pets, our furry and four-legged friends, all have a way of finding a place in our hearts. Essentially, they become members of the family. We hurt when they hurt. We are happy when they are happy. So, imagine the joy one couple felt after finding their pet that had been missing for months.

Rodd is Amanda and her husband Mark's four-legged and furry family member and means the world to them. Amanda said Rodd, a Siamese cat, “loves to roam” and would often go very far from home during his outings, according to The Yorkshire Post.

Rodd would always return from his expeditions, often with a gift, usually in the form of a mouse. However, in early October 2022, Rodd went on a journey and did not come back. Then, after days with no sign of Rodd, Amanda began to suspect the worst.

"I assumed this is what he had done again as of the 13th October 2022,” Amanda told The Yorkshire Post. “But by the fifth night, I was worried with it coming up to Halloween and bonfire night, he would get skittish and scared and possibly end up injured or freezing cold.”

The outlet reports that Amanda did everything possible to find Rodd – searched the area, posted missing posters and created announcements on social media. 

Eventually, weeks went by without Rodd.

But on the day after Christmas, Amanda heard a very familiar meow. It was Rodd!

Video of the surprising reunion shows Amanda dropping her drink to chase after her furry family member, who comes to their house's backdoor. 

In the video, Amanda crouches down, grabs Rodd and gives him a huge hug before letting him back in where he belongs – Amanda and Mark’s house.

Amanda was overwhelmed by Rodd’s return! 

"I am still on cloud nine that he came back over Christmas, the best Christmas present I could of ever wished for,” she said. 

Genesis 1:24 “And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.”

Dolly Parton is a talented and beloved actress and musician. Her terrific career has spanned decades. Dolly has given us such hit songs as “Islands in the Stream,” “Coat of Many Colors” and “9 to 5.” Dolly is a true Hollywood legend!

On New Year’s Eve, Dolly took the stage and joined Miley Cyrus. The two sang several iconic and classic songs together, including what is arguably Dolly’s biggest and most memorable song: “Jolene.”

Earlier in the clip, the duo sings Patsy Cline’s “Walkin’ After Midnight.” After finishing up Patsy’s song, Miley tells Dolly that they really can’t leave the stage without singing “Jolene.” Dolly wholeheartedly agrees!

At the 1:50-minute mark in the clip, the crowd goes wild as the music to “Jolene” begins playing. It’s clear that many still love and appreciate the song all these years later!

The duo sings the quintessential country song while standing on a beautifully lit stage. A number of other musicians provide Dolly and Miley with assistance during the performance. Those in the band accompanying them play the guitar, and the drums, sing backup vocals and one even plays the trumpet!

Given the level of love for “Jolene,” most are aware of the catchy and toe-tapping chorus to the song about a woman begging another to stay away from her man.

“I’m begging of you please don’t take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don’t take him just because you can”

It’s clear from the clip that both Miley and Dolly are having a ball singing the song! 

Dolly and Miley end NBC’s New Year’s Eve bash with “Jolene.” What a perfect way to end the night and 2022.

The “9 to 5” singer proves once again that she still has it!

Psalms 42:8 “Yet the Lord will command his loving kindness in the day time, and in the night his song shall be with me and my prayer to the God of my life.”

It is a mystery that God hid from mankind for ages but has now been revealed to us: that Jesus, the creator, who died for our sins and rose from the dead, now takes up residence in the hearts of people who put their trust in Him.

The band Train is an extremely well-liked group that has produced such hits as “Hey, Soul Sister,” “Marry Me” and “Meet Virginia.” Despite all their success, one of Train’s hits towers above the rest. 

In the last couple of decades, there probably has not been a song more recognizable, played and covered than Train’s “Drops of Jupiter.” A quick Google search shows that even Taylor Swift has covered the popular song. This time, though, music duo Jake & Shelby take their turn at “Drops of Jupiter.”

The video from the self-described “best friends” from Nashville, Tennessee, is very simple and minimalistic but effective. The clip begins with the two musicians sitting on the ground, back-to-back. Jakes strums on the guitar as Shelby sings the beautifully written lyrics.

“And tell me, did you fall for a shooting star?
One without a permanent scar, and did you miss me
While you were looking for yourself out there?”

Approximately 40 seconds into the video, the duo switches things up a bit. Shelby momentarily sits with legs across Jake’s. A few moments later, we get a shot of Jake standing by his lonesome as he plays the guitar.

For the next 20 seconds or so, the video cuts between the two musicians in these three positions – back-to-back, Shelby with her legs on top of Jake’s and Jake standing and playing his instrument by himself.

Then around the 1-minute mark, things get changed up once again. Jake, sitting in a chair, is playfully spun around by Shelby. 

The video, while not as flashy, does keep the focus on their singing and musical ability. And as evidenced by their top-notch sound, both have plenty of it. 

Check out Jake & Shelby’s cover of Train’s “Drops of Jupiter.”

Psalms 5:11 “But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy because you defend them: let them also that love your name be joyful in you.”

You may or may not be acquainted with the name, Alex Calderwood, but you will most certainly have either lived or heard of the Troubles that terrorised the neighbourhoods of Northern Ireland. From their beginning in 1969, until the Good Friday Agreement of 1998, and beyond, all Northern Irish people have a story to tell — and it’s not a pretty one. These are stories of pain and anguish, of lives lost; lives still emphasised by empty chairs in the homes of loved ones.

From the brutality that lies at the core of these pages, comes the true story of a man who overcame adversity, showed bravery and courage in the face of hardship and had the determination to go out into the world when everyone had given up on him, to make a difference for good.

Age sixty, Alex (Oso) Calderwood lives in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Alex faithfully serves his church and community. He can often be found in the Olive Branch Café. He is part of a large family of four sisters and three brothers. His only daughter, will soon graduate from university.

David Tolley, an audience member, raised his hand to perform on the Johnny Carson show stunning the audience. Jonny Carson had prepared to have a well-known pianist perform on the show. 

But he suddenly found himself in a bind. The pianist had called mere hours before the live show to state he wouldn’t be able to perform due to an accident with his fingers and a car door. 

Johnny didn’t let that stop him from going live. After all, the show must go on, right? Johnny decided to think outside of the box and explained the situation to the audience. He figured one of the audience members had to have lessons at some point. The ‘Hail Mary’ to save the show paid off in an unexpected way. 

Dressed in a Nike t-shirt, jeans, and flip-flops, David Tolley raised his hand. Johnny wasn’t so sure if David knew what he was doing and whether or not he had the experience but David took a chance anyway. He even made jokes David obviously would’ve been better dressed had he known he would be on TV. 

Taking his cue from Johnny, David set out to impress and playfully had fun showcasing his talent with a few cheeky grins and antics, which included pretending he was moving the tales of a tuxedo before he sat down to wow the audience. What happened next was jaw-dropping. 

David performed ‘Memory’ from the production of Cats while taking the time to wink at the audience and grin because no one expected him to play so well. Just when it seemed the performance would come to end, David grinned and pointed at the keys. He earned applause and a few laughs from the audience as he continued to finish up his performance. 

It’s amazing how God directs our steps in life sometimes. One day you’re sitting in the audience and the next you’re on stage revealing the gifts God gave you–showcasing his glory. Well done, David! Well done. 

As the saying goes, “a mind is a terrible thing to waste.” An education, gaining more insight and knowledge on a subject or several topics, is invaluable. Knowledge and wisdom are helpful tools that can help guide and direct us throughout life. 

God’s Word also emphasizes the importance of education. Proverbs 16:16 reads, “How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! Yes, to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.”

One elderly woman, understanding the importance of education, decided to finish high school. Pearl Neumann finally received her high school diploma at 100 years old from Spencerport High School in New York state, according to the YouTube video.

As the video explains, Pearl originally left high school all those years ago, during her sophomore year. Instead of continuing her education at that time, Pearl went to work on her family’s farm.

During the ceremony, Pearl stated she remembered some words of wisdom she got from a relative. 

“I am so proud because I always thought I was nothing,” Pearl said. Everybody’s graduating and going and I said, ‘well, I didn’t graduate from high school.’ And I said ‘Well,’ and I began to think what my grandmother used to say, ‘Stand on your own two feet and you can do anything you want!”’ she said.

Pearl also added that she’s “tickled pink” over her educational accomplishment.

In a message posted on social media, the school district called Pearl “truly an inspiration” and that they are “honored to celebrate this milestone with her.”

The school district, in a release on their website, added that Pearl will be included in a display about the Class of 2023. 

Congrats, Pearl! Job well done! 

Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you shall be no priest to me: seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will forget your children.”

Queen is one of the most influential and celebrated bands from the 1970s. Their massive, massive hits are still widely played and highly recognizable today. A Queen song is easily spotted, usually within the first few notes.

The group 40 Fingers took their turn playing a classic song from Queen. 40 Fingers is comprised of 4 musicians who expertly strum on the guitar. 

What a mathematically accurate name! 

During a concert, the 4 guys played one of the band’s biggest hits: “Bohemian Rhapsody.” At the 25:59-minute mark in the clip, the guys take a whirl at the popular tune.

And what we get is an astounding performance!  

While the 40 Fingers’ performance of the song in the clip is solely an instrumental version, you can’t help but sing the song’s memorable lyrics and tap your toe along to the rhythm.

“Look up to the skies and see
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I’m easy come, easy go”

In addition to playing Queen’s mammoth hit, the group plays several other recognizable songs. Earlier in the clip, at the 8:19-minute mark, 40 Fingers perform Toto’s “Africa.” After “Africa,” it’s Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel’s beloved “Sound of Silence.” 

The last song the group plays in the clip, right after “Bohemian Rhapsody,” is an instrumental version of Dire Straits’ “Sultans of Swing.”

Several other people were also in awe of the band’s impressive performance and musical talent.

“Everything about the pieces this quartet performs is so tastefully done, settings, lighting, performance. When they give us a song, they so totally deliver! I’m making it mission to share their music with everyone I know,” one person wrote in response to the clip on YouTube.

Another YouTube user posted: “Beautiful classic sounds! Thank you for sharing.”

Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think of these things.”

Children, like adults, have disagreements and spats. However, fights between children, especially among siblings, can seem very frequent and petty. However, one YouTube clip captured a sweet and precious moment between siblings.

The video starts by showing two siblings – an older brother and his younger sister – standing together on a soccer field. The boy in the video has his arms affectionately around his sister’s neck. The little girl has her arm around her brother’s back.

Then text appears on the screen to explain and put the situation in context for the viewer. The text reads that the older brother in the video “gathered with his team to receive their medals for first place in their soccer tournament.” 

Next, we see the young boy, with his sister standing in front of him, receive his medal but his next move is very unexpected. Right after a man places the medal around the boy’s neck, the child takes it off. Instead of basking in the glory, he puts it around his sister!

The little is obviously taken aback by the sweet move from her older brother. She immediately cranes her neck to look up at her brother. She then grabs the award around her neck, takes it in her hand and examines it in awe.

Seconds later, the little girl turns to the camera and flashes a massive smile! She is thrilled by the attention and affection shown to her by her older brother.

One of the users who commented on YouTube praised the young boy’s parents for his move.

“Kudos to his parents. This young passionate, thoughtful fellow is going to be someone very important in his later years in life! You made your sister so happy. She will remember that moment for the rest of her life,” someone posted.

The special moment between the young siblings is an excellent example of how even the smallest act of kindness can mean the world to someone else.  

Romans 12:10 “Be kindly affectionate one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another;”

Kelly Clarkson is someone most people enjoy. Her bubbly and welcoming personality and terrific singing voice make her an easy person to like. 

She was the original American Idol, taking the top spot on the first season of the popular reality competition show. Since taking that crown, Kelly has enjoyed an enviable career. She has put out several albums, had many number-one singles and was even a judge on The Voice. Now, she is the host of her own daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Recently, on her show, Kelly took the microphone and reminded us why she won American Idol all those years ago. She sang Nat King Cole’s classic tune,“Unforgettable.”

Needless to say, as the clip shows, Kelly knocks it out of the park! Her beautiful voice and the song’s sweet lyrics make for an excellent pairing. 

“Unforgettable that’s what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me”

Others, in response to Kelly’s performance, were thrilled by Kelly’s performance of “Unforgettable.” They were singing her praises.

“Kelly Clarkson’s voice is undeniably unforgettable, and her kindness is unsurpassable, her band is outstanding,” one person posted on YouTube.

One person wrote that Kelly, because of her immense talent, should face legal action.

“It’s illegal to be that talented!! It’s my favorite old time song and she really sang it perfectly,” they commented.

Another person remarked on the dress Kelly wore and about the stage she performed on during the performance.

“Everything in this performance is beautiful, her, her hair, her dress, the lights and the band’s performance. What a great tribute to Nat King Cole and to Martin Luther King,” one person posted. 

It is clear that Kelly is still wowing people today like she did those judges on American Idol all those years ago. 

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.”
