Bruce Becke and his family were out for dinner and they were celebrating a very special occasion. This is Bruce's second birthday since receiving a life-saving stem cell transplant surgery.
So this is sort of like Bruce's 'second' birthday. But what Bruce doesn't know is that his family has a surprise up their sleeve that he never saw coming. Sitting right next to Bruce is the bone marrow donor who saved his life.
Just watch as they casually start up a conversation with Bruce and he explains that he is celebrating his birthday and that he is alive because of a 26-year-old man from Baltimore, Maryland.
That's when the man says that he's from Baltimore and goes on to ask the donor's name. And when Bruce says that the donor's name was Mike Drisgill, the stranger sitting next to him smiles and says that is his name.
Finally, Bruce realizes what is happening and they embrace in the most beautiful hug. This young man's selfless donation is the reason why Bruce is alive today. I'm so glad that they were able to meet!

It's so amazing to see these two females with a shared interest come together and showcase their talent. Who else was clapping along with the performance?
It's hard to go through life on your own. That's why it's so important to surround yourself with good friends and faith in God.
Just like the Lord, our friends can help lift us up when we're feeling down and they offer support when we need it most. That's exactly that the lyrics of 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' will remind you of.

Just watch as this man enters the room to greet his wife. She immediately lights up at the sight of him and he quickly moves to be by her side. They even share a special kiss. This entire moment was caught on camera by their grandchild and it's absolutely beautiful to witness.

These sisters are having the time of their lives. These 3 farm girls were tending to the cows when they decided to have a little bit of fun. That's when they started lip-syncing to Journey's classic song "Don't Stop Believin'."
Just watch as they dance all around the stalls and hand the 'microphone' off to one another. I just love how they are turning their daily chores into a fun experience. Their mom, Nichole Wright, says she wanted to share the video to put some positivity into the world.

It doesn't get much better than listening to a talented a cappella performance. There's something about only using their voices to produce sound that gives each song a little something extra.

Jack and Tim are the most adorable father-son duo. This 12-year-old has been singing with his dad since he was just 5 years old. And one of Jack's most favorite things to watch on television is Britain's Got Talent.
Today, these musicians are taking their talents all the way to the big stage to try and win the entire contest. Their precious audition was a heartfelt song about how blessed they are to have all of the many things in their lives and be surrounded by family. And as soon as they started singing, you could hear the crowd begin to cheer. It only went up from there as these two performed the most beautiful song full of harmonies and talent.
It's obvious these two have a very special bond and it all comes across in their music. Even some of the judges were tearing up at this sweet performance. No wonder they earned a standing ovation for everyone. But when it came time for judging, I was shocked when Simon stood up and pressed the golden buzzer. I'm so glad this pair is going on to the semi-finals and I cannot wait to see what they perform next!
The Lord is truly worthy of all the thanks and blessings that we can give. He gave us life and when He sent His only Son to Earth to die for us on the cross.
All of our sins were forgiven and now, we're free of our chains and can live out our days in Heaven above. What a wonderful blessing that is indeed. Because of this second chance at live, we know that He lives through us. That's exactly what the lyrics of 'Christ Lives In Me' from Rend Collective will remind you of.
When our world feels like too much, run to the arms of the Lord. He is always there waiting and ready to guide us home. No matter what sin or sorrow has come our way, God is always by our side.
This beautiful performance is exactly what my heart needed to hear today and I'm so thankful that I can lift my voice and sing praises to His name. Amen!
Victoria Arlen was just 11 years old when she developed two rare conditions that caused her to lose the ability to walk, speak, eat or move. Her condition left her in a vegetative state for 4 years.
But even though Victoria could not control her own body, she was still of sound mind and could hear and understand everything going on around her. So for years, she laid in a hospital bed listening to doctor's tell her parents that she would never come out of this state but she had no way to communicate with them.
Victoria was essentially trapped in her own body. But one day, Victoria realized that she had regained the control of her eyes. She used this movement and blinks to let her mom know that she was still inside.
It was truly a miracle and hearing her retell this story with her mother by her side is enough to bring tears to anyone's eyes. Through lots of patience and dedication, Victoria even regained all of her abilities, including being able to walk.
Now, she's thriving and serving as an inspiration to all of those around her. What an incredible story of triumph!
There's truly nothing like the relationship between a man and his dog. There's a reason why they call them man's best friend. Your dog grows with you and loves you unconditionally. It's a special bond that can never be broken. And that's exactly what this man and his dog, Gunner, shared.
This video, titled 'The Circle' is dedicated to Gunner. It starts off with a man and his puppy as they walk to the lake together. Then, we get to see these two share all kinds of special memories like fishing, eating and relaxing on the couch together. It's obvious these two have a lot of love for one another. But then, this duo walks outside and down to a spot that I didn't see coming.
The man stops to kneel at a grave with a small wooden cross and the picture of a dog. We now realize that Gunner is the man's previous dog who he grew up with. Even though his misses Gunner a lot, he has a new puppy now and they are creating more memories that will last a lifetime. The circle continues and man's best friend continues to stand by his side.
Who doesn't love seeing the younger generation worship our Lord? It's truly one of my favorite sights and it fills my heart with love and joy. And if you're ready for a smile, just listen to this precious 6-year-old as she belts out the 'Doxology.'
She's sitting right in front of the camera and she knows every single word. It's really the cutest thing. I just love when she gets to the end and keeps saying 'amen' is all different keys. She's definitely recited these words before and it's so adorable to watch her right now.
I have such hope for our next generation leading others to worship and this video definitely makes me feel confident in our children. Who else is grinning from ear to ear right now?
There's nothing like a good song to truly lift your spirits and make you feel alive. And today, Jason Mraz is bringing a much-needed dose of cheer with his song 'Have It All.' Filmed in Richmond, Virginia, this video is full of happiness and cheer.
Just watch as he travels all over the city to bring smiles to strangers. Finally, he arrives at a school where all of the children are falling asleep during an assembly. But Jason busts into the auditorium and brings song and dance to shake things up.
I just love how sweet the words of this song are and how they bring a smile to my face. What a great song to put a little pep in your step today!
Late Night Chat with Evangelist Janice McDuffie Jan "FAKE NEWS AND THE REAL TRUTH!" Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you: And ye shall be a witness in the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 18:26-Apollos was an excellent preacher. He preached boldly in the synagogue. Evidentally, he was doing a really good job for them to allow him to preach in the synagogue. But, he was not Holy Ghost filled. He had a zeal. But He did not have any power. Aquila and Priscilla took unto him and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. In other words, they explained to Apollos, that He needed to have the power of the Holy Ghost in order to preach the gospel.
Candace Cameron Bure spent over a year as a co-host on the popular daytime show The View. The program consists of a panel of women who discuss hot topics of the day and their differing opinions. Candace was the lone conservative voice on the panel and many times she was met with opposition for her stance on certain issues. But ultimately, the co-hosts had nothing but love for one another.
Today, Candace is back on the set to talk about her newest endeavors and her time on The View. She looked back at one of her hardest days there. That morning, there had been a shooting in San Bernandino, California. Candace lives in California but was on the other side of the coast to tape The View. Her children were in school at the time and they were placed on lockdown. She was so overcome with emotion and it was 10 minutes before showtime and she was a wreck.
That's when Whoopi Goldberg knocked on her door. She let Whoopi in and the two just embraced. In that moment, there were no differences of opinion, only love and support. Candace remembers crying into Whoopi's arm and the kindness that was displayed. It's something that has stayed with Candace since that moment. What an inspiring ripple of kindness.
