Disabled Woman Deeply Moved by Man’s Simple But Kind Gesture

A disabled woman was deeply moved by a man’s simple but kind gesture. Although his kind act may not have been viewed as much in the eyes of many, the gesture meant the world to one woman. Be sure to check out this heartwarming story!

Our words and actions can significantly influence those around us, even if we don’t think so. Our actions, even simple, seemingly meaningless and insignificant ones, can have a massive impact on the lives of others. We may never see the negative or positive effects of our deeds, but what we do or say can have long-ranging repercussions.

What we consider a small, unimportant and inconsequential act of kindness may be seen by someone else as huge. It could impact their entire day, week or year. That small act of kindness could totally change how someone else views the world. That’s why we can never be too sure how much or little what we say or do will impact and influence others.

A sweet, heartwarming clip posted on YouTube shows how great an impact even small gestures of kindness can have on someone else. Liz Marshall, affectionately known as the “butterfly lady,” suffers from Parkinson’s disease. It has gotten progressively worse over the years, and now she is unable to walk.

Liz was sitting on her porch when the garbage truck came by to empty the trash cans sitting along the curb. When the truck reached Liz’s house, the driver, Terrance Davis, did something unusual and unexpected. Instead of leaving her trash cans sitting along the curb, he took them up the driveway and gave them to her. Liz was moved by Terrance’s simple but meaningful act of kindness.

“You don’t even begin to know what a blessing that was to me that day that you noticed me on the porch,” Liz said to Terrance. “Because when you become, when you’re disabled, a lot of times you become invisible. And even though you had a lot going on, you were dodging trash cans and kids and cars, you made an effort to stop, and it meant the world to me.”

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

Retiree Finds New Purpose Spreading Joy as School Bus Driver

One man, a retiree in his 70s, has found a new purpose in spreading joy as a school bus driver. This is such a sweet and heartwarming story—one that you will surely not want to miss. Be sure to check out this clip!

For most people, retirement is a lifelong goal. They earnestly and diligently plan for it and eagerly await it. When retirement becomes a reality, many individuals use their newfound freedom and extra time to travel, tackle that project around the house that has been put off for years or spend even more time with their grandchildren.

Typically, the last thing on most people’s minds during retirement is starting a new career or getting a 9-5 job. At the very least, they want to kick back and take it easy. But Bill Nagle is not everyone. After retiring, the 72-year-old former food sales manager came out of retirement to drive a school bus.

A clip posted on YouTube explains how Bill became a school bus driver. He is now using his newfound position and purpose to spread joy to students, teachers and school administrators. Bill has quickly become beloved in the school system and has even picked up a nickname: “Mr. Bill.”

“I retired from my food job that I had for 35 years, and I passed this building and saw a school bus with a sign on it that they were hiring,” Bill said.

According to the clip, he answered the call and has been driving since seeing that help-wanted ad.

Bill and the students on his bus traveling to and from school belting out tunes together, such as “The Wheels on the Bus.” He even has the children make animal sounds as they exit the bus. 

“He’s an awesome guy,” said the school’s principal. “He takes time to learn students’ names. You can hear his bus coming up the street because usually, he’s on the loudspeaker.”

Romans 15:13 “Now may the God of hope fill you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Mac Powell’s Powerful Personal Testimony

Mac Powell, a Christian musician and the lead singer of Third Day, has shared his powerful testimony. God moves and works in people’s lives, constantly reaching and calling out to them. He is the good Shepherd who is always looking for the lost and stray sheep, hoping to bring them home.

Everyone is a sinner who, in ignorance, arrogance and disobedience, has willingly turned their back on God. The Bible confirms this, saying that all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. People choose their way, which always leads to death and destruction, instead of God’s way—the path to life and hope.

But despite our sins and turning our backs on Him, He does not wish to see any be lost and perish. His love for us is so great that He constantly reaches out to the lost. His hope for all is that they turn from their old ways and follow Him. In a clip posted on YouTube, Mac Powell talks about when God “changed my heart like it was nothing.”

Mac says he grew up going to church, learning all the Bible verses and singing all the songs. But he admits there was a problem. He says, “My life as a Christian was pretty segmented.” He did what was expected of him while at church, but when he was not in a house of worship, Mac did things his way.

As a senior in high school, someone suggested that he read Romans. When he started to read that New Testament book, God began to work in Mac’s heart immediately.

“Reading in Romans as a senior in high school was evidence to me that God’s Word is real, and it was like God was speaking directly to my heart, reassuring me of His presence and power,” he said. “From that day on, I committed to spending time in God’s Word daily. It transformed my life and gave me the direction I desperately needed. It was my own miracle, and since that moment, I’ve seen God do amazing things.”

Revelation 3:20 “See, I am waiting at the door and giving the sign; if my voice comes to any man’s ears and he makes the door open, I will come i

Willie Robertson Speaks on the Transformative and Far-Reaching Power of the Gospel

Reality television star Willie Robertson spoke on the transformative and far-reaching power of the Gospel message. His words show how much someone sharing the Gospel will impact one person’s life and have repercussions down the road, possibly for generations. This is a clip that you must watch!

Christians are called on to share Christ’s message of love, hope, mercy and forgiveness with others, lost souls in this broken world. The Gospel is too important and powerful to keep concealed and hidden away. It’s intended to be shared far and wide - with anyone and everyone.

However, that is not always an easy thing to do. How does one start witnessing and sharing the Gospel message with someone else? How will that person react? Will they get angry or upset? What will they think of me? Those are just a few of the questions people have before talking about the Gospel with someone. The truth is, we don’t always know how someone will respond when we bring up Jesus Christ and His message of truth, hope and life. But a clip posted on social media shows the massive, far-reaching one person’s obedience to witness and share the Gospel can have.

In the clip posted on YouTube, Willie, of Duck Dynasty fame, talked about how a preacher 50 years ago was bold enough to get in his car, walk into a bar and share the Gospel with his father.

“When no one ever thought this guy could ever change, and that guy cared about him,” Willie said. “He was courageous, and he walked in that bar expecting there to be a change. And he sat down in an adversarial situation and preached the Gospel.”

Later in the clip, Willie mentions how that preacher’s obedience to share the Gospel with his father started a chain reaction that still impacts lives today.

“If he doesn’t do that, if my father doesn’t obey the Gospel, if my mother does not forgive him, if they don’t stay together, and that family doesn’t stay together, I’m not standing here right now talking to everybody that’s hearing my voice,” he said.

Romans 1:16 “For I have no feeling of shame about the good news, because it is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first and then to the Greek.”

3 Doors Down Lead Singer Opens Up About Spreading Message of Christ's Love at Concerts

Brad Arnold, the lead singer of the rock band 3 Doors Down, has opened up about sharing Christ’s love on stage with concertgoers. Musicians have a powerful platform, and Brad uses his position to let concert attendees know that Christ loves them. Watch this clip!

When people purchase a concert ticket, especially for a mainstream, secular rock band like 3 Doors Down, they expect to hear them play their biggest hits. That’s precisely what most bands do. Sure, they may not play every single one of your favorite songs, but for the most part, you are left satisfied.

But those who go to a 3 Doors Down concert will not only hear songs like “Kryptonite,” “Away from the Sun,” “Here Without You,” and “Be Like That,” but they will also hear something else. That something else is much more important than any song played during the show. It’s a message about Christ’s love for them and how He loves and cares for them despite their sins and failings.

Lead singer Brad Arnold shares that message. In a clip posted on YouTube, he explains why he decided to use his time on stage to talk about Christ’s love.

“Last year, I was just praying about the tour before we went out on tour,” Brad said. “Then, in a prayer, just heard God’s voice say, ‘I want you to tell them that I love them.’”

Later in the clip, Brad added he does not consider himself a good public speaker. But if he is going to talk to the crowd during the show, he wants to use his words to share the love of Christ with those in attendance.

“If I’m going to use a moment on stage to talk, then I want to give glory to God, and I want to take a chance to tell people that Jesus loves them,” Brad said.

1 Corinthians 1:17 “For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.”

‘Little House on the Prairie’ Star Melissa Gilbert on Show’s Timeless Appeal

Mellisa Gilbert, one of the stars of Little House on the Prairie discussed the show’s timeless appeal. The show is one of the most beloved television programs of all time. Melissa talked about some of the reasons why she believes it continues to connect with audiences.  Be sure to check out this clip!

Some movies and television programs are so easy to watch, no matter how many times you’ve seen them. Even though you may know every line and plot point by heart, that familiarity doesn’t diminish the viewing experience. In fact, it may even add to it, becoming even better with each additional viewing.

Shows like Gilligan’s Island, The Andy Griffith Show, The Brady Bunch, The Office and Seinfeld are examples of beloved shows that are familiar, binge-worthy and deserving of multiple viewings. They are classic shows, television at its best.

Little House on the Prairie is another program that fits perfectly in that list. In a clip posted on YouTube, celebrating the show’s 50th anniversary, Melissa discussed why she believes it continues to be popular.

“You know, a lot of people will say it’s because the stories are about, you know, community and family and love and acceptance – all the good things in life that we all crave,” she said. “But we were also telling the stories of America in 1974 through the lens of 1874. We were telling stories of veterans coming home from Vietnam, but it was the Civil War. We were telling stories of them coming home drug-addicted. We were telling the stories of racism, Antisemitism and chauvinism.”

She added, “I think Little House on the Prairie told those stories in a non-exploitative way and taught people what is really most important.”

Little House on the Prairie is a show that can likely be seen on some channels at all hours of the day.

Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

Heroic Officers Brave Flames to Rescue Elderly Woman from Burning House

God uses everyday people to do extraordinary things in life's most critical moments. We see this time and again in stories of courage and sacrifice. In this incredible story, heroic officers brave huge flames to rescue an elderly woman trapped in a burning house. 

It was late at night when a passerby in Millburn, New Jersey, noticed a house going up in flames. They called 9-1-1, and the Millburn police arrived on the scene first. Two of the household members were able to make it through the flames to safety, but the 83-year-old grandmother was still trapped inside. Despite the intense heat and thick, suffocating smoke, two heroic officers acted without hesitation. Determined to find her, one of the officers crawled through the blaze, doing his best to avoid the flames and smoke. When he finally found her, he carried her through the inferno to safety. She was immediately given first aid as soon as they reached safety. 

Can you imagine what would’ve happened if the officers had chosen to wait for the firefighters to arrive on the scene? This story might have turned tragic. The officers' courage and teamwork are a testament to the faith, courage, and purpose these officers had that night. It took less than five minutes for the officers to make a difference; they humbly credit this bravery to just doing their jobs. It’s clear God’s hand was at work, using their courage to save a life. 

In moments like this, we catch a glimpse of God’s heart. He empowers us and uses our unique gifts and strengths, and then He equips us with what we need to make a difference in the lives of others. Sometimes He uniquely uses us in moments of danger or in moments of giving comfort. Other times, it’s in the small and steady acts of kindness we show others. 

That’s the beauty of God’s grace and power as He uses us in His plans. We don’t have to be perfect or fearless like these heroic officers; we only need to be willing. 

Joshua 1:9 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

What evidence of faith is shown in the story of Rehab? Faith in Action

In this video, the speaker shares a heartfelt message about the power of faith and God's ability to deliver us. He starts by recalling his first church visit and hearing the gospel, eventually accepting Jesus Christ. The talk highlights the importance of showing our faith through our actions, referencing biblical stories like Rehab's faith in the Book of Joshua. The speaker also emphasizes that true faith is evident and urges everyone to trust in Jesus for salvation. He encourages viewers to share the message and let God's word touch their lives. 00:00 Introduction and Personal Testimony 00:32 Encouragement to Accept Jesus 01:34 The Power of Faith and Works 05:05 Rahab's Story of Faith 07:30 The Significance of the Scarlet Cord 08:53 The Cleansing Power of Jesus' Blood 10:15 Invitation to Accept Jesus and Final Words

Selfless School Janitor Moved to Tears by Heartwarming Secret Santa Gift

An unexpected and heartwarming Secret Santa gift moved a selfless school janitor to tears. The woman was overwhelmed by the kindness and love shown to her, and as a result, the tears started flowing. This is a beautiful moment that you’ll want to watch for sure!

Everyone has plans and things they want to do and accomplish. However, we all know that life often gets in the way of those well-thought-out plans and goals. Situations and circumstances entirely out of our control will arise seemingly out of nowhere, forcing us to reassess and change our priorities and goals.

There are also instances in which other people need a little help. Lending them some much-needed assistance can sometimes force our needs, priorities and goals to take a back seat. Thinking for and caring about others ahead of oneself is precisely what Wendy, an elementary school janitor, has done.

A clip posted on YouTube mentions that she gave up her only reliable means of transportation to her sister. Wendy now drives a truck that is riddled with problems. The selfless school janitor also cares for her elderly mother, who lives with her.

Wendy, the kind, loving, and selfless school janitor, was surprised at work by some of the kindness and love that she so often shows others. First, she was surprised with a check for $1,000. That monetary gift caused a catch in her throat and tears to well up in her eyes.

But that wasn’t all.

Wendy was also given the keys to a new car. This was too much for the woman who thinks of others ahead of herself. She simply could not believe it, and tears started rolling down her face.

“Thank you so much,” Wendy said to the camera and the person who made those gifts possible. “I don’t even know what to say; I’m sorry. Miracles happen. What a day.”

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”
