The Voice contestant Gyth Rigdon performs a soul-stirring rendition of ‘God Bless The USA’ during the semi-finals of the competition. Gyth is a member of Team Blake and he’s been impressing the crowds all season long. Today, he’s taking an American classic and putting his own, personal touch on the iconic song. ‘And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to you And defend Her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A.’ ‘God Bless The USA’ was originally released in 1984 by Lee Greenwood. He always felt the urge to write a patriotic song and when the shooting down of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 occurred, Lee knew the time was right to unite the nation. It rose on the country charts, but it wasn’t until the attacks on September 11th that the song became a cultural phenomenon. It doesn’t get much better than listening to someone sing about their pride for their country and that’s exactly what Gyth is doing today. It’s always such an amazing display of respect and patriotism. This is definitely one of the most iconic patriotic songs of the modern era and it was a perfect compliment to Gyth’s incredible vocals. He is definitely a serious contender. Do you think this young man has what it takes to go all the way?

Today Show anchor Hoda Kotb shares an honest conversation she had with God that changed her perspective on motherhood. In February of 2017, Hoda adopted a baby girl named Haley Joy. Since that time, this beloved host has learned a lot about the ups and downs of motherhood. Today, she’s sitting down with co-anchor Savannah Guthrie to discuss what they’ve learned so far on this journey of parenthood. Hoda isn’t afraid to admit that she lacks patience. There was a particular moment when everything from the day started to overwhelm Hoda. “I remember having a short conversation with God and I remember saying, ‘I would’ve begged you for this day. This terrible day, I would’ve begged on my knees for.” For years, Hoda dreamed of having a family of her own and she was finally bringing that vision to life. This moment was the reminder that she needed from God that she was exactly where she wanted and needed to be. We learn from our children every single day. Their innocent nature and view of the world truly gives us a different perspective. Hoda remarked on some of the things that she has learned from Haley Joy. “I think she’s taught me patience and she’s taught me that no dream’s too big. If you believe in something, it may actually come through.” Our children are truly a gift from God and they are a blessing that should be cherished and protected.

This is my testimony of how I was healed from rheumatoid arthritis. I had rheumatoid arthritis from 2011-2017 on and off. I was healed for a year from 2011-2012 and then the illness came back into my right elbow and left wrist. I am left handed, so this illness affected my ability to carry groceries, comb my hair, and at one point even walk/run. My left knee was beyond swollen.

Alex recently sat down with Jane Pauley on CBS Sunday Morning and opened up about the crippling pain he’s experienced while taping Jeopardy. “It got really bad. I was on the floor, writhing in pain. I went from a 3 to an 11. It happened about 3 or 4 times while we were taping, so that was a little rough on me.” But Alex kept his demeanor while the camera was rolling. “I taped the show and then I made it to the dressing room on one occasion, just barely, before I writhed in pain and cried in pain. I had 15 minutes before the next show, so I got myself together.” Behind the scenes at Jeopardy, everyone is there to support Alex, but he refuses to give in to the cancer. “The producers were very kind. They said ‘Look, if you don’t want to do the show, we’ll just cancel taping.’ And I said, ‘No, we’re here. We’re doing the shows.’” Alex Trebek is truly a legendary name in the entertainment business and his announcement of cancer shocked many people.

The owner of a convenience store has compassion on a hungry teen and gives him food after he catches him shoplifting. At first, the owner of the 7/11, Jay, notices some suspicious activity on his store’s surveillance camera. Jay sees a teenage boy taking something off the shelf and going to a corner of the store. When he comes back to the front of the store, there is nothing in his hand. Jay sees from the footage that the teenager had put some items into his pockets. “First of all, I was upset,” Jay says. “I was angry because if somebody is stealing, it feels like he’s taking money from my pocket.” When Jay confronted the teen, he asked him to empty the contents of his pockets and place them on the counter. The items that he pulled out were mostly junk food like chips and candy. Jay asked the teen why he was doing this, and his answer made him have a change of heart. “He said, ‘I am hungry. I’m stealing it for myself and my younger brother,’” explains Jay. “When he said, ‘I’m hungry,’ the whole thing changed, my whole perception changed. This is not a regular shoplifter, a regular shoplifting incident. It is something different.” Jay’s anger quickly turned to sympathy, and knew he needed to help this young man. “I said, ‘If you’re hungry, I’ll give you food. Don’t try to steal these candies and gum and junk items. You’re not going to fulfill your hunger with that. That’s useless.’” After Jay’s conversation with the teen, he gave him some sandwiches and other hot food to eat. And the reason behind his decision to show grace toward the young man is inspiring. “I thought, ‘Okay, he did something wrong. At least give him another chance,’” he says. “Maybe he will do it right next time. Show him what is right, what is wrong. And I hope he learns that.” What a beautiful act of kindness that will be sure to impact that young man!
