Cecilia and Fernando, or better known as Duo Siqueira Lima, are a musical couple that has taken the internet by storm. These two have become infamous for this incredible duo guitar performances. The couple usually performs together on two separate guitars, but today, they decided to take on a song using only one guitar.
Just watch as they come together to play an incredible rendition of Tico Tico, a well-known Brazilian song. The unique technique the couple uses is called four hands guitar playing and it is absolutely jaw-dropping to watch. One person stands behind the other and they both play the guitar at the exact same time.
It's obvious that this technique takes some serious talent to pull off, but Cecilia and Fernando make it look so easy. Each strum and pick is perfectly timed as their fingers dance up and down the guitar strings. Who else was impressed with this performance?
16-year-old Anabel Sweeney received the opportunity of a lifetime when singer won a competition and got to sing with the award-winning all girl’s group Celtic Woman. This talented group held a nationwide competition to find someone to perform with them at their concert in Ireland and when Anabel stepped on stage she immediately won over the crowd.
I can't believe that such a big voice came out of this young lady. Celtic Woman is a world-renowned group and I'm so glad that Anabel had the chance to show everyone who incredible vocals. And this concert was very special because it was Celtic Woman’s homecoming concert so the Grammy award-winning group wanted to give their homeland the best performance possible.
Anabel was definitely the perfect choice and one listen and you'll understand why she was selected as the winner to sing the night of the concert. She sang the song, “Fields of Gold” which was performed years ago by a former member of the all-girls singing group. With that angelic voice, she definitely did the song justice. What a flawless performance!
Usually when things go viral on the internet, it is just something that makes us smile or laugh. But it is absolutely incredible when something goes viral and manages to save a life. Robert Leibowitz is a father of five who was suffering from a fatal kidney disease. For Robert, the worst part isn’t how sick he feels or even the fact that the disease is slowly taking his life, but watching the toll it is taking on his family and seeing the heartbreak on his kids’ faces was the worst.
They knew that a kidney transplant could save his life, but the waiting list is years long and finding a match can be virtually impossible. So, when the family decided to take trip to Walt Disney World, Robert saw it as a chance to make one last effort to change things. He made a t-shirt that asked for help from anyone. A photo of Robert in the t-shirt quickly went viral and that’s when Richie saw it. Richie is a dad too and he couldn’t shake the desire to help make sure Robert’s family didn’t have to lose him.
So Richie called Robert and got tested and by the grace of God they were a match. Robert’s family still in disbelief is convinced that Richie is an angel. But forever humble, Richie thinks he is just doing what anyone would do. Seeing the two men come together before their surgery is something that will truly fill your heart with joy. And watching as Robert’s family embrace Richie as one of their own is beyond moving. God bless Richie for this life-saving gift. Who else thinks we need more stories like this one?
There's truly nothing like the bond between an animal and their owner. Even after years apart, some dogs can still remember their human.
This pup has only been apart from his owner for 10 days, but I'm sure that felt like a lifetime. So when a friend went to pick up the owner at the airport, he decided to bring the furry companion along for the ride. Just watch as the excited dog waits in the truck while his human gets off the plane.
Finally, he stops his best friend and jumps clear out the window to run to him. I love how they embrace and he picks this little guy right up. There is so much happiness and love in this reunion and I'm grinning from ear to ear right now. Has your furbaby ever done anything like this?

Sometimes, people on the internet feel like they can say whatever they want to whoever they want without regard to kindness or feelings. And that's exactly what Ginger Zee, the chief meteorologist for Good Morning America on ABC, recently encountered after a recent broadcast.
Ginger is pregnant with her second child and was stunned when a viewer made a comment on her appearance. An internet troll took to Twitter to body-shame Ginger for a form-fitting dress she wore one morning. The female viewer wrote "You have complained about being pregnant for months. Who chose that dress?” When Ginger saw this message, she was immediately taken aback but she decided to respond to this viewer once a for all.
And her incredible response to this internet troll had me cheering. Ginger, you are absolutely beautiful and we cannot wait to meet that baby!
When one family heard strange noises coming from behind their drywall, they had no idea what it could be. But once they heard a series of scratches and meows, they knew that it could be several baby kittens. That's when this family jumped into action to help save these poor felines.
Usually, stray cats have their kittens in tight, private places to keep them safe so the family assumed that that is how the kittens got behind the drywall. Just watch as they carefully make a hole in the wall and grab a box. One of the ladies put a sock around her hand to protect herself from their tiny claws and begin to reach inside the wall for the kittens.
She carefully scooped out the drywall and insulation and then pulled out one tiny kitten and placed it down by her feet. She kept reaching inside the wall to take the kittens out one by one. The more they moved her hands around inside the wall, the more kittens she found. There were a total of four kittens that were rescued from inside the drywall. Thank goodness this kind family got them out just in time.
There is nothing like seeing a couple join their lives together in holy matrimony. Seeing two separate lives become one life together in Christ is so beautiful and so powerful.
When Justin and Marla Anderson decided to come together in marriage they knew they wanted to make sure God stayed at the center. So when they were planning their wedding they wanted to do something to remind themselves and the guests that God is the reason they are all there.
That's when this couple came up with the greatest idea that as part of their ceremony, they would take a break from all of the ‘normal’ rituals and take time to worship. So while standing at the altar, the wedding band started playing the worship hit ‘Great Are You Lord’ from All Sons And Daughters.
All of sudden their wedding ceremony was transformed into a worship service. Friends, family and the wedding party were standing with their hands raised in total surrender to the Lord. And seeing this couple at their altar worshipping God on their wedding day is truly beautiful.
This is truly a powerful moment and I am so glad they chose to share this moment with the world.
Seven year old Anja sings one of her favourite songs What a Beautiful Name with her nine year old brother Tobias accompanying on piano. This brother/sister duo loves to share their music in church.
What do you say about yourself? Is it good....or bad? Do you think you're not good enough? Where did all the things you think about yourself come from? Did people say hurtful painful things to you? ....about you? Here's a little about who GOD says you are!
Jenni Smith was on a safari at the Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa when her group stopped to watch a herd of elephants. This group of majestic animals were all playing around a mud pool, trying to stay cool and hydrate.
That's when Jenni noticed one calf struggling in the water. Within moments, the rest of the herd saw the flustered baby elephant too and that's when they banded together to save this sweet animal. At first, the elephants try to remove some of the water from the pool, but the calf still cannot escape. The more this poor elephant tries to climb out of the mud, the more he just keeps sliding back down. Thankfully, one of the bulls in the pool helped push the baby out while some of the females used their trunks to pull him to dry land.
Finally, this sweet elephant was safe and completely fine. It's so amazing to see God's creations band together and help one another. The animals He placed on this earth are amazing. Don't you agree?
Frank Sinatra's music has truly stood the test of time. This legendary musician released so many hits that it's hard to pick just one iconic song that truly defines him. Even though I've heard a ton of covers, this 13-year-old's rendition of 'Fly Me To The Moon' really struck a chord.
Eric is a contestant on The Voice Kids and he's made it all the way to the finals with his incredible vocal skills. So when it came time to pick a song for the finale, it's no wonder he chose this classic from Frank Sinatra. This special song truly showcases the full range of his vocal skills and it definitely gave me a dose of nostalgia.
I love when kids cover the classic artists instead of the pop music we hear today. This performance was absolutely a showstopper and I'm excited to hear what this teen does next. What did you think of Eric's performance?
Pastor Greg Locke never shies away from the hard topics and today's discussion is no different. Many times, when a new person starts going to church or is invited by their friends, they always ask what they should wear. Pastor Greg goes on to say that some churches have started to make things about the outward appearance instead of about our hearts.
We never want someone to be discouraged from learning more about God because of their clothes or appearance. Pastor Greg feels that church should go back to their roots and embrace everyone and help all. He definitely makes some very good points about the real reason we go to church. What do you think about this powerful discussion?
There's a reason the hymn 'Amazing Grace' remains a favorite hymn for so many people. The powerful lyrics remind us that because of Jesus, none of us are ever lost. God is with always with us and because of the sacrifice His Son made on the cross, all of our sins are now forgiven.
Today, this incredibly talented a cappella group is coming together to sing this classic hymn. From that very first baritone note, I knew this hymn rendition was going to be different than anything I've ever heard before. Just listen as they use just the sounds of their voices to deliver this powerful performance.
You can truly tell that these men mean each and every line that they are singing. There's no doubt that they all have a heart for the Lord and a God-given talent for singing. I'm so glad they are using their beautiful gifts to give praise to His name. This is one hymn rendition that you don't want to miss.
In the small town of Jackson, Tennessee, tv personality Mike Rowe discovered the most unbelievable restaurant. Amy Crenshaw runs the ComeUnity Cafe which is a non-profit that gives good, healthy food to everyone, whether they can afford it or not.
Even though Jackson doesn't have a lot of people living there, they have a large homeless population. Amy and her husband felt so passionately about making sure their community was taken care of that they started the amazing cafe. When Mike Rowe and the producers of his show, Returning The Favor, heard about Amy and her mission, they decided to surprise her with some amazing gifts.
They wanted to make sure that Amy and her kitchen had all the tools they needed to continue helping Jackson. I just love watching her reaction when she realizes what is happening. What an amazing way to give back to the community!
There's no doubt that the four gentlemen from Vocal Spectrum have talent. This barbershop quartet group can blend their voices together in the most amazing way. They always manage to choose just the right song to showcase their incredible skills.
Today, these vocal wonders are taking in a Walt Disney classic as they perform a medley of songs from the animated feature film, Aladdin. This is one of those beloved Disney films that has truly stood the test of time and the songs are just as iconic.
I've heard these song hundreds of times, but this a cappella barbershop rendition is way better than anything else I've heard. I'm definitely getting a dose of childhood nostalgia right now. I'm so glad that this group is sharing their talents on a big stage for all the world to hear. Who else is going to listen to this one again?
There is something so powerful about the moment when people see one of God’s creatures in trouble and decide to step in to help. And that is exactly what happened one day when Ashley Albright was driving.
Ashley noticed there was a snowy owl just sitting on the side of a busy road. She knew something had to be wrong so she pulled over to see what was going on. As soon as she saw the owl she knew he had been hit by a car and was badly injured. The poor owl was terrified but he followed her as if he could sense that she was there to help him.
The injured little guy was starving without his ability to fly and hunt for food so Ashley took the owl to the Raptor Rehab Center so that he could get back on his feet. Because of his injuries, this poor owl had become blind in one eye and his feathers were singed.
Thankfully, the folks at the rescue knew exactly how to help this little man heal. It is going to be a long road to recovery but they are hoping that he will be able to learn to hunt with his good eye so that he can return to the wild. But regardless of what his future holds, this owl got a second chance at life because of one kind Good Samaritan.
God bless Ashley for pulling over and hoping for the best for this little owl during his recovery. Have you ever rescued an animal like Ashley did?
