Proverbs 4:23

One airline goes ‘to infinity and beyond’ in order to reunite a lost toy with a 2-year-old passenger. You’ve got to check out this heartwarming story! It all started when Cody and Ashley Davis were on a Southwest airlines flight heading to Texas for a funeral with their 2-year-old son, Hagen. And their flight had them stopping at the Clinton Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas for a layover. Now, we all know that traveling can be stressful, especially with kids. And it is easy to forget or misplace things in transit. “It was very hectic. It was a very hectic trip, jumping on a plane with a 2-year-old,” said Cody Davis, Hagen’s father. “I really didn’t do my due diligence as a mom to triple check that everything was with us,” shared Ashley Davis, Hagen’s mom. “He was frantically asking ‘Where’s Buzz? Where’s Buzz?’ And Buzz wasn’t in the backpack. Buzz was still on the plane.” That is when Beth Buchanan, a Southwest Airlines employee got involved. “I always go through the plane to make sure that no one has left anything,” Beth explained. “Now we all know people leave things every day. So, I was going down and I looked over at this seat and there’s Buzz all by himself. So, I took it downstairs and I’m going ‘How do I get this back to his little buddy?’” Another Southwest Airlines employee, Jason Hamm, got in on the hunt for Buzz’s owner. “I walked into operations and Beth was sitting at the computer with a Buzz Lightyear doll right next to her,” said Jason. “And I looked at it and asked ‘Well, whose is that?’ And she says, ‘I don’t know, it just has Hagen written on the bottom of the foot.’” The two of them were able to track down the Davis family and get their information, but before they sent back Buzz, Jason took him on a little adventure around the airport and documented it with photos. “It would be a really cool thing to do to text these photos to whoever’s owner it was. That way they would have something to show their child when they found it,” shared Jason. Jason also wrote out a letter to Hagen from the point of view of Buzz Lightyear, explaining how nice of a visit he had in Little Rock. And once the family received Buzz Lightyear back in the mail, Ashley read the letter to Hagen. “To commander Hagen, I’m very excited to return to you upon completing my mission. I was able to explore the airport and space court in Little Rock, Arkansas while I was away, and I’ve included photos of my adventure. My journey has taught me a lot, but I am so thankful to return to my buddy. To infinity and beyond! Your buddy, Buzz Lightyear” What a sweet way to be reunited with his toy! “Seeing him holding little Buzz, it just melts my heart,” shared Beth. “I’m just so glad that we got Buzz back to him.” What a true act of kindness from these two Southwest Airlines employees. God bless them for doing something so sweet for this little boy!

Because I have so many friends who dont believe in Christianity...I was inspired to write this song to give them something to think about...I hope you will be inspired also by listening

When Joe suffered a catastrophic heart attack, God had the perfect person on standby to save him! Doctor Oz performs life-saving CPR on a complete stranger at the airport! A passenger by the name of Joe was traveling with his wife, Barbara. After a long flight, the couple walked to the baggage claim with the rest of the airline passengers to wait in line for their luggage. These seemingly mundane and routine traveling procedures were orchestrated by God, but no one knew it yet. As Joe waited for his luggage he was about to become a statistic as a monstrous storm was happening silently inside his body. He was having a heart attack. When Joe dropped to the floor, Port Authority Officer Jeffrey Croissant called for help as he began life-saving CPR! But he never expected Dr. Oz to answer the call! Dr. Oz, known for “The Dr. Oz Show,” is also a cardiothoracic surgeon.Not only was God’s timing perfect, it was also poetic. What better doctor to have on hand than a heart doctor? Now that Joe has made a miraculously full recovery, he went on The Dr. Oz Show to thank the guardian angel God provided who saved his very life. “You were the color of eggplant when I first met you,” Dr. Oz said with a smile. Joe thanked Dr. Oz and the officer who saved his life with CPR. Without it, Joe would’ve become one of the thousands of men and women in this country who died of a heart attack. But it seems Dr. Oz was touched more by that moment than he realized. Dr. Oz became emotional as he recalled those harrowing seconds of resituting Joe when he said, “As I watched you come back to life, I started thinking that we will always be connected.” Dr. Oz is right, they will always share a special bond. Dr. Oz dropped everything to save the life of a stranger whom he now calls a friend. God never ceases to amaze with his perfect timing. What a miracle moment. “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

A daughter guides her blind father on a roller coaster ride, and the video will melt your heart and put a smile on your face. Dads. They have their own special way of making us feel safe, loved, and protected. They give until they can’t give anymore because they want the best for their family. They are the heroes of our childhood, and the dad you’re about to watch in this story is the stuff of legends. His daughter says he is her hero. One afternoon this daughter guides her blind father on a roller coaster ride and captures it all on video. This daughter later posted the video online with a simple caption, “Meet my dad. Hero. Marine. Wounded in Vietnam. He's been blind since the war. I'm his eyes." In the video, they look just a regular daddy and daughter duo enjoying a fun day at the park. It seems like it’s just a roller coaster ride for the fun of it but there is so much more to the story. Even though her father has been blind her entire life, you can tell by the tone of her voice and the smile on her face just how much she adores her dad. Waiting in the car for the roller coaster to take off builds anticipation prompting their hearts to drum a little faster and their palms start to get sweaty. As the roller coaster begins to take off, she begins to describe the twists and turns while her father listens attentively. Smiles spill over on his face and onto hers. Blindness isn’t going to stop this pair from enjoying the butterfly feelings of the ride or their time together! The jolting of the car makes them wonder if getting on the roller coaster was a good idea, they both tense up as she prepares him for the descent. And then, “whoosh!”, their hair, skin, and face feel the full force of the wind as they try to hold on. Her dad lets out a joyful, “Whoa!” With every clunk of the ride, twist, and turn, the pair experienced the adrenaline rush with screams of laughter, excitement, exhilaration, and pure heaven all at once. But then just like that, they’re at the bottom and the ride is over. But what an incredible moment captured on camera because there is nothing like sharing a fun moment with your dad. A father-daughter bond is timeless at any age. “He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents;” Malachi 4:6

A guardian angel saved a 3-year-old from a 12-story fall. What a miracle! Have you ever experienced that moment when God was clearly in the right place at the right time for a miracle? God puts us here on this earth to be His hands and feet in ways we never imagined and sometimes we become angels in disguise. Sometimes our mere presence can save the life of someone else. A delivery truck driver became a guardian angel, saving a 3-year-old from a 12-story fall. A truck driver Nguyen Ngoc Manh, was parked on the street while he was waiting to deliver items to a client. As he waited, the sounds of a toddler screaming pricked his ears. Something about that cry didn’t seem right as he got out of his truck and looked around. The driver didn’t see any toddler crying anywhere. But then he heard a woman screaming too. Then Nguyen looked up to witness one of the most terrifying scenes imaginable. The screams were coming from a mother and her child above him! A toddler was hanging on to a balcony 12 stories in the air. Nguyen knew he had to save her. The toddler was hanging on by one hand 164 feet in the air. He had to do something fast, so he scaled a wall to get to a lower roof. From there, he did the best he could to gauge where she would land. Because of his quick thinking, he managed to break her fall. The little girl was taken to the hospital where she was treated for minor injuries and a broken hip. Nguyen, her guardian angel only suffered a minor sprain to his arm from his miraculous catch. Can you believe that’s the only injury this little girl suffered after falling 164 feet to the ground? Nguyen and the little girl’s mother no doubt were thanking God for such a miracle ending. The heart-stopping moment of the little girl’s fall was caught on camera. Gaining 377,000 views, it is proof miracles do happen. Talk about the catch of the year! “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 18:10

Listen to this beautiful cover of Jordan Smith’s song ‘Beauty Lies’ from the One Voice Children’s Choir. “Pack your dreams all away, save 'em for another day, tell yourself no way that I, I, I can do this Cancel all the evening plans, who cares if they don't understand, ain't in the mood for talking, I, I, I might lose it, we go on believing all the liars in my head And stop before we've even started yet, but I know you, I know you can make that move Live your truth, when you lay down your pride, that's where the beauty lies” What a phenomenal sounding group of kids! The children’s choir is singing in a cold and abandoned house, but their lovely voices and performance add so much warmth to the screen. And each one of them are so talented in their own ways! “We have been working on this song for the last year and now we’re happy to finally be able to share it with you,” writes the One Voice Children’s Choir on their YouTube page. “One of our favorite lines is ‘When you lay down your pride, that’s where the beauty lies.’ The world will be better for all of us with less pride and more humility. What are you doing to help us make the world a better place?” What a great question. How can each of us use our gifts to humbly serve the world around us? “This is so amazing,” writes one person on YouTube after watching this One Voice Children’s Choir music video. “I am so deeply happy for all of these youth - that they have these opportunities. Congratulations for a broad, deep, and excellent program and this success. What a contribution to the world!” “I absolutely love the passion of these children as they sing, and the beauty of their harmonized voices is incredible!” comments another person online. “What a blessing these young voices are to all of us!” We hope that you enjoyed this wonderful cover of ‘Beauty Lies’ and it was able to encourage you today!

Check out this adorable crew of dogs who love laying in their hammock! A Golden Retriever Dad hilariously fails at his attempt to relax on his hammock because all six of his little loves want to welcome him to an evening of relaxing, but that also means they too, have to get up on the hammock, right? Golden Retrievers are known for their beautiful coats, great personalities, and their infinite capacity to love their family. From their deep soulful eyes to the way they greet you at the door with their tails wagging, what’s not to love? The Dad in this video proves just how much they love attention, greeting people, and hammocks. That’s right, this crew felt the need to ensure the hammock was safe for Dad and of course, they wanted a little attention too. So, the dad comes home after a long day of work and is ready to chill out. He thinks it would be nice to watch the stars come out and he heads to his perfect spot, the hammock. But this Dad didn’t take into consideration that all of his golden pals would want to relax with him too. What happens next will have you in stitches as all six dogs try to relax. Dad flips the hammock over and before he can lay down, a mob of dogs comes to join him. They jump up on the hammock and take turns snuggling him and licking him! I don’t think Dad is going to relax anytime soon. At least, not with all the dogs in his backyard! The Dad in this video is actually only a father to two of those adorable Golden Retrievers and their names are Arlo and Cheech, also known as “the Golden Bros” from California. These two brothers are actual brothers from different litters. It’s quite apparent that Arlo and Cheech love their dad, their hammock, and a crew of their friends. They hope you enjoyed this video of them helping their dad relax and that it put a smile on your face! “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23

A guard dog sleeps through his first training session of a robbery simulation. Can you believe it? Somebody is clearly not ready for their first day on the job, not if they plan on catching z’s while on the clock. In the thirty-second video, we meet the four characters of this story. One is the cashier waiting to be ‘robbed,’ the other is the simulated criminal, then we have the bystander who is also filming, and of course we have the guard dog. Within the brief clip, the criminal approaches the cashier, and demands money at gunpoint. The man working as the cashier gives the crook a ready-made red bag, symbolizing the money. Right before he hands over the goods, the man playing the criminal glances over his shoulder in the direction of the dog. He even steps back a little bit, likely to get within the dog’s view. The dog can’t see anything though, not with both of its eyes closed. A woman playing the bystander films the incident on a device and she stands right by the dog. Still, the dog remains unmoving. What’s very humorous about the video is that the dog doesn’t move the entire time. Not once, unless you count each inhale and exhale. Typically in a comedic movie scene where someone sleeps through a crisis, humor is added to the scene when they shift in the bed and still remain oblivious to their surroundings. This dog looks “knocked out” and deep into sleep. There’s no shifting to be had here. Not sure what kind of training the poor pup received after the simulation, but surely whatever happened next, laughing was definitely involved. This was the dog’s first simulation though. Give the dog some more time, more tries, and with enough rest surely this pooch will perform better. Hopefully!

Ecclesiastes 5:2

Bible study – Christian lifestyle

After Deshawn Goncalves gives a fantastic audition on American Idol, Lionel Richie says that God knew what he was doing when he put him in front of the judges that day. Deshawn is a 19-year-old college student who plays the tuba in the marching band. He was born to teen parents, and he says that he has struggled a lot throughout his life. But music has always been his “saving grace.” When Deshawn was younger, his dad went to prison. That was hard on him, but when his father came back home, everything changed. “When my father got out of prison, he was very determined to turn his life around,” shared Deshawn. “He taught me so many things, like how to take care of myself and handle business. He really pushed me to be better as a man. I started to sing and play instruments and get straight A’s. And I graduated at the top of my class. And I got a full ride to Jackson State University.” For his American Idol audition, Deshawn played the piano while singing an emotional rendition of ‘Everything Must Change’ by Nina Simone. “Man, that was powerful,” says Lionel Richie after Deshawn finishes his beautiful audition. “I needed you today. Just consider yourself hugged, okay. I don’t know where you came from, but I know God saw fit to put you in front of us. I am very proud of you.” “It was magic,” shares Katy Perry with a big smile across her face. “I mean, you can still feel it, right now, in the air. There’s a purity, there’s a light about you, when you’re just singing. It’s like you’re an angel.” After high praises from all the judges, Deshawn got a yes from all three of them. He is going to Hollywood!

Check out this sweet video of a dad catching his daughter singing a power ballad while she is cleaning the pool. “When your kid catches you shooting a video…” reads the words at the start of the video. The dad filming this video is Tom Coverly, and he catches his daughter, Anni, putting on quite a show while she is doing one of her chores. Anni is giving it her all and passionately singing the song ‘Girl On Fire’ by Alicia Keys. “Oh, oh oh oh oh, she got both feet on the ground and she's burning it down Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, she got her head in the clouds, and she's not backing down This girl is on fire, this girl is on fire, she's walking on fire, this girl is on fire” When Anni spots that her dad is watching her performance, she exclaims “Daddy!” with a huge smile across her face. “You are the best singer/pool cleaner ever!” says her father. And she says “thank you” as she giggles about being caught singing. What a sweet interaction between these two, and what a talented singer this little girl is! “Right then she wasn't cleaning her pool, she was singing in Madison Square Garden with a packed-out audience,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video. “Someone get this girl singing lessons and show her all the opportunities of the world! She's got such talent and showmanship for the stage,” writes another person online. It is also great how she didn’t feel embarrassed by her dad filming her having a singing moment and having fun just being a kid. Her reaction was just so pure and sweet, and you could tell that her father is definitely proud of her. What a great father-daughter relationship!

One homeless mother auditions on American Idol with her inspiring rendition of Whitney Houston’s ‘One Moment In Time.’ Vahhley is a 23-year-old mother from Brooklyn, NY who is currently going through a very difficult time in her life right now. “Me and my son are currently in a homeless shelter. And we’ve been living there for the past 8 months,” she shares in an interview before her American Idol audition. “As a parent, you want to give your son everything. And when you don’t have the ability to do so, it hurts you,” she says with tears falling down her face. “I just want to be the best mother that I can possibly be. I want him to grow up knowing that he didn’t have to see his mother struggling.” That’s why this audition is such a huge deal for Vahhley. “Thank you for giving me the opportunity to do this. I genuinely appreciate it from the bottom of my heart,” she tells the judges. Then she gives an emotional performance of the ‘One Moment In Time’ by Whitney Houston. “I want one moment in time, when I'm more than I thought I could be When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away, and the answers are all up to me Give me one moment in time, when I'm racing with destiny Then in that one moment of time, I will feel, I will feel eternity” Lionel Richie is the first judge to chime in after Vahhley is done singing. “Where you are, at this moment in time, you will climb out of this,” he says. “I think your singing is real good, but your fight is incredible,” says Luke Bryan. And Katy Perry encourages Vahhley before sending her off to Hollywood. “I want you to believe that you are worth it,” she says. “And I hope that this yes helps you on your way.”

JUST SAY NO!
