Amazing Story Behind Couple Who Escaped Slavery in 1848

While most slaves fled under the cover of darkness, one couple fled in plain sight. This amazing story behind the couple who escaped slavery in 1848 will leave you in awe! 

Ellen was the child of a slave owner and her enslaved mother. At the age of 11, Ellen watched in horror as her sister was given as a wedding gift. She knew then being a slave and keeping her family intact would never happen. 

Later, she met and fell in love with her husband William Craft. He, too was a slave. Eventually, they wanted to start a family, but they feared their master would take any of their children and sell them, and they would never see them again. They feared the horrors and brutality their children would face as slaves and dreamed of freedom. 

Ellen and William’s dream of freedom turned into an idea when they came up with an ingenious plan. Ellen would disguise herself as a sickly slave owner!  Because Ellen had a fair complexion, she would pose as William’s master. As they continued planning, they knew stumbling blocks such as being illiterate would become an issue when clerks when ask for her signatures for hotel stays to train tickets. So, Ellen devised a plan to pretend to have an injury and wore her arm in a sling. Adding to her disguise, she also wore bandages around her face to limit conversations and keep her female facial features hidden. 

Together, they fled from Macon, Georgia to Boston traveling by steamboats and trains. Soon their past would catch up to them when their notoriety of how they fled served the movement to end slavery. The couple then set sail to England, where their dreams finally came true. Ellen and Geroge became literate and birthed five free-born children!

Several generations later, their passion and legacy of education and ending slavery lives on in their great-great-great granddaughter Peggy Preacely who was a part of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. 

Peggy holds her great-great-great grandmother’s words to heart, “Today we stand. Our family in a perpetual circle of grace, listing to our ancestors calling to us. Through blood and sacrifice and communal space, to rise, continue, celebrate, and persist on this continuum of collective effort and individual sacrifice. Following their steppings stones to liberation.”

This incredible story is a reminder the choices, dreams, and prayers we make today can impact multiple generations through God’s provision, salvation, and grace!

Woman's Emotional Reaction When Sister Travels 26 Hours to Surprise Her

Watch this woman’s emotional reaction when her sister travels 26 hours to surprise her. If you were blessed with sisters like I was, you will love this magical moment. I was blessed with two sisters in the mix of five siblings. I learned at the age of five that when my mom brought my little sister home, I had a built-in best friend. Every night was a fun slumber party, except when she wet the bed. 

As we grew older, we drifted apart as I did all the teenage things, and she watched from the sidelines. She often felt left out and did all the things little sisters did. She read my diary (and showed it to my mom). She raided my closet, took my favorite makeup, and hung like a monkey on any boy that I brought home. As for my youngest sister, she saw me more as a mother figure thanks to the 12-year age gap. No matter than fights, or differing ages, my sisters are the people God built into my life to be my cheerleaders and the person who holds all my secrets and knows me inside and out. 

Now, if you’re reading this–I’m taking a wild guess that you read the title and couldn’t help but click on the link because you know what it means to have a sister. You know she is your fierce warrior friend. I imagine life planted you in a different state, and sometimes phone calls, Facebook, and FaceTime can’t possibly substitute for when you really need to see your sister in person. 

If that’s the case, you will melt and maybe get a little misty-eyed when you watch a woman travel more than 26 hours to surprise her sister. I don’t know if the 26 hours is a drive across the country or a flight from California to New York that included layovers and delays. Maybe one sister lives in the states, and the other lives in Australia. Either way, this woman did a marathon to give her sister a hug in person. Her sister’s reaction is genuine. She is so surprised and shocked that she shrieked loud enough to make her niece cry. But the moment they hug is endearing. I hope these two had a chance to stay up late, catch up on life, and share their fears, doubts, and dreams. 

May this video be the inspiration to do something special for your own sister. She will be just as blessed as you.

Dad Sings ‘Hallelujah’ and Tiny Miracle Baby Raises Hand

Each child is a precious gift from God. For any mom or dad, one of the scariest, most heart-wrenching experiences would have to be having a child sick in the hospital. Those parents would be consumed with worry and fear. One video shows that even during those frightening experiences God is still there working. 

A popular TikTok video shows a father, Daniel Johnson, sitting in the neonatal intensive care unit, holding his child. Several tubes can be seen attached to the child. Various machines periodically beep in the room.

However, as Daniel looks down lovingly at Remington Johnson, he lightly sings “Hallelujah Here Below.” But then something amazing happens!

When Daniel reaches the song’s chorus and sings “hallelujah,” Remington raises his little arm! As can be expected when seeing such a sight, Daniel begins tearing up.

At the time of his birth, sweet little Remington did have much chance of surviving, the caption to the TikTok video reads. He was born four months early. Doctors only gave the child a 21 percent chance at living. 

Emily Johnson, Remington’s mother and the person who filmed the amazing moment, had complete faith in God after her medical team filled her in on the situation with Remington.

“Getting there and them saying, ‘Ok, well, this is what’s happening, we’re gonna try and stop your contractions and try to at least delay this a few days,” Emily told Good Morning America

Emily went on to detail how dire the situation with Remington really was.  

“Going from that to ‘We’re taking him right now; you’ve got about 10 minutes. It’s going to be emergency c-section,” she said. “Then ask us, ‘Do you want us to do everything we can to save him, or do you just want to let him live as long as he can on his own and then pass?’

Emily and Daniel knew immediately what they were going to do.

“And you know, for us, that wasn’t even a question,” Emily added. “It was automatically, ‘No, we’re going to do everything. God gave us this child. God will see us through this.” 

God can still and does perform miracles. He is seeing Daniel, Emily and Remington through the situation. The caption to the video mentions that Remington is now 2 and a half months old.

In the interview with GMA, Emily detailed all of the care and medicine Remington required. Emily also added that Remington is now off all meds! 

“He’s a miracle baby, in every sense of the word. A miracle baby,” Daniel told Good Morning America

Bodycam Video of Dad After Heroic Rescue of His Kids Trapped in Riptide

Peyton Hillis is a hero! And it has nothing to do with anything the former NFL player did on the football field.

On January 5, on a beach in Pensacola, Florida, Peyton rushed into the ocean to save his two children, according to Cleveland.com. Peyton’s son and daughter had been caught up in a riptide and were being swept away when the former Cleveland Browns running back went in after them.

His children did not sustain injuries thanks to Peyton’s heroic efforts!

However, after saving his children, it was Peyton who needed emergency medical attention. A video clip posted to YouTube shows EMTs working on Peyton right on the beach. 

Soon Peyton was put in a helicopter near the emergency site. The video shows the helicopter taking off and leaving the area. He was rushed to a hospital for treatment. 

Peyton was put in intensive care and listed in critical condition at the hospital. Peyton’s kidneys were not functioning correctly after his daring rescue. The medical professionals also put Peyton on a ventilator.

However, about a week later, on January 11, Peyton’s ventilator was removed, according to CBSNews. Peyton’s condition continued to improve. Then, more than two weeks after the incident, Peyton was released from the hospital, Celeveland.com reports.

Praise God! 

Peyton’s girlfriend and actress, Angela Cole, posted a photo on social media of the former NFL star and his medical team. In the caption, Angela gave glory to God and those medical professionals who helped with Peyton’s recovery.

“God is so good! Peyton has been discharged from the hospital,” she wrote. “The amount of love and gratitude I have for the incredible team that took care of Peyton is indescribable.”

Others commenting on the YouTube video of EMTs working on Peyton praised his heroic efforts.

“What a beast of a man,” one person wrote.

“That’s a Dad right there. He’s a hero,” a second person posted.

“Way to go dad! Doesnt matter what you did your whole life, this was the moment you became a hero forever,” another user commented.

Boy’s Routine With Brother with Autism Inspires Entire School

Seeing a need and acting with kindness and love without being asked or told can have massive ramifications. Not only will it benefit the person on the receiving end of the act, but it can benefit others. The bond between a pair of young siblings has done just that.

Thomas and Nathan are two children – 5 and 7 years old. Thomas is the oldest and Nathan is the younger. Nathan has Autism which affects his ability to communicate, according to the boys’ mother, Jill Brose.

One day, Thomas saw a need, a way to help his brother’s day run a little smoother and he acted without being prompted. It’s now become their morning routine.

The school’s leadership has taken notice of Thomas’ effort. 

“Nobody really told Thomas what to do. He just did it,” said Tricia Fusco, Mcannulty Elementary School principal. “And he helped Nathan take his coat off and he hung it up in his locker and put his book bag away. Took his lunchbox and took him right into his classroom and that was really the start of everything that came to be today.”

Nathan’s teacher mentioned that she saw an immediate, positive change in him following the kindness of his big brother, Thomas. 

“He really knows what Nathan needs,” Amy Dempsey said. “So, incorporating him walking him to class really helped with Nathan’s anxiety because he knew how to calm Nathan down.”

Other people who work in the school have told the boys’ parents how much they appreciate Thomas’ efforts, calling it the sweetest thing. 

“The smallest act of kindness can really turn someone’s day around,” Jill said.

Not only have those in the school taken notice of the children’s sweet bond and routine, but their own father wants to be a better man from what he’s seen from them. 

“To see them have their own type of relationship, it inspires me to just, you know, wanna be the best that I can and the best parent that I can for them,” Tom Brose said.

1 Peter 3:8 “Finally, be you all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brothers, be pitiful, be courteous:”

Dog’s Excited Reunion with His Military Human

A lot of people underestimate the intelligence of animals. Some of them seemingly can understand and comprehend certain situations and circumstances. Videos are posted everyday to social media displaying the smarts and ability of animals to feel emotion. One video shows the touching reunion of a dog with its owner, who was away for several months. 

The video begins with a large black dog racing up a driveway to an opened garage. Inside the garage, a handful of people stand, with one man in military garb in the center of the garage, sitting on the ground. 

The animal is obviously excited and is a ball of pure, unbridled energy! 

As the video’s title makes clear, the animal is reuniting with its owner, a member of the military, after several months away. 

The dog just cannot contain itself! The animal runs right over to the man on the ground and begins barking excitedly.

The man tells the animal, “it’s me! It’s me!” The dog literally jumps into the man’s arms as the two friends share a loving embrace.

The animal, unable to contain its joy at the return of its owner, jumps and hops around the room. The dog essentially jumps around the entire room to everyone almost as if to ask, “Is this real? Is this really happening?”

At one point, near the end of the clip, the animal momentarily runs off the screen. 

But don’t worry! The large dog returns, running into its owner’s arms, and literally knocks him backward and onto the ground. 

What a sweet video that perfectly displays the special connection between humans and their pets. Dogs really are man's best friend!

Genesis 1:21 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

Singer and His 8-Year-old Son Sing ‘Old Man’

Fathers, whether good or bad, have a major impact on their children. Usually, the first man children encounter is their father. So, it would only make sense children would emulate their father and his behavior and lifestyle. One singer and his son recently sang a song about the similarities between a father and son.

Australian singer Chris Cavill and his 8-year-old son Jesse Cavill performed Neil Young’s classic song, “Old Man.” To put it simply, father and son sound great together!

Both dad and son play the memorable folk song, strumming together on guitars. Also, Chris and Jesse sing the lyrics about a son telling his father about their perceived similarities. 

“Old man, take a look at my life, I’m a lot like you
I need someone to love me the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes and you can tell that that’s true”

The father and son duo have racked up hundreds of positive comments on the video, people telling them how much they enjoyed their performance.

“What a wonderful, wonderful thing it is when parents and children can meet in the world of music! Dad will inevitably pass away (I’m a dad too) but the bond and intimate memories will never fade away,” one person wrote on YouTube.

“The world is falling in love with you both right now, One of the most beautiful, well executed straight from soul covers I have ever heard. Just amazing,” someone else commented. 

Much like the lyrics, the video of father and son depicts similarities between the two. Both are obviously into music and have a ton of musical talent. 

Additionally, Chris and Jesse have similar-sounding singing voices. Also, as seen in the video, father and son are even dressed alike. Both choose to go without shoes and socks in the video, performing barefoot instead.

Fathers are important people in the world. They are a massive influence on their children. Children are constantly watching, always looking at how their parents act and react to situations. 

Another song Neil Young was involved in had a similar message about the importance of parents to their children - Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s “Teach Your Children Well.”

Proverbs 23:24 “The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begets a wise child shall have joy of him.”

Couple Miraculously Overcomes Horrific Rock-Climbing Accident

Unfortunately, most of us will not escape life unscathed. We are all going to experience trying circumstances. Those times will often leave us puzzled and demanding answers. One young couple experienced such a situation that challenged them both in ways they could have never imagined.

On June 30, 2018, Kaylene and Josh Baker went rock climbing in Big Timber, Montana, according to the clip posted on YouTube. Kaylene and Josh both enjoy rock climbing, but on that day, they decided to try someplace new. Little did they know that day would forever change their lives. 

During one climb around lunchtime that day, Josh was climbing as Kaylene remained on the ground. She was helping with the ropes Josh was using to scale the wall.

At one point, about 40 feet up, Josh got stuck. In order to free himself, Josh had to place his shoulder into the wall, put his hand up and then pull. That’s when things went terribly wrong.

As Josh freed himself, rock fell and landed on Kaylene. 

Through tears, Josh recalled the horrific scene.

“And I looked down, I saw Kaylene faced down and she was missing her leg. And I thought she was dead,” he told NBC’s Today Show.

First responders quickly raced to the grisly scene. They loaded her on a stretcher and took her to the ambulance. Kaylene suffered several massive and gruesome injuries.

“Her sternum was broken,” Crystal Christison, Kaylene’s mother said. “Broken ribs, broken scapula. I believe her foot was broken. She had a collapsed lung. Her back was broken. Her nose was broken, a dissected artery in her neck.”

Flash forward to more than a year after the accident, to August 2019, Kaylene has been fitted with a prosthetic left. Kaylene is also without her left forearm. She admits they have had their fair share of struggles as a couple. 

The clip shows Kaylene enduring physical therapy and reuniting with the first responders who helped save her life. The couple even returns to the site of the devastating accident. Kaylene and Josh were overcome with emotion.

However, Kaylene refuses to let her accident keep her from enjoying rock climbing. The clip shows Kaylene climbing an indoor rock wall!

The clip moves forward once again to December 2022. Kaylene and Josh are now proud parents to a baby boy! Their beautiful child was born in May 2022, Kaylene mentions in the clip.

Although Kaylene admits she is limited in what she can do as a mother, she and Josh make trade-offs in parenting their baby. 

Through the adversity and all their struggles, the couple has and continues to persevere. Kaylene gives glory to God for the work he has done and is continuing to do in her life. 

“The big part of my life of how I can keep moving forward is my faith,” Kaylene said. “I feel like God helps center me and help me to remember who I want to be and how I want to live.”

Ukrainian Girl Who Sang In Bomb Shelter Surprised by Real-Life Elsa

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.”

‘Calm Down’ Cover on Violin by Karolina Protsenko

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.”

Nervous New Mom Gets Break from Sympathetic Judge

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.”

5 Sisters Sing With Mom on Piano – ‘A Thousand Miles’ by Cimorelli

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.”

101-Year-Old Still Practices Ballet

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.”

Teacher Proposes to Teacher in Front of Excited Students

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.”

Woman Clearing Snow Has Near-Miss of Getting Covered in It

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.”

Dolly Parton and Pop Stars Sing ‘Gonna Be You’

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.”
