Actor Andrew Garfield shared his beautiful and heartbreaking view of grief and loss.

Unfortunately, life is not all rainbows, roses, happiness and joy. At one time or another, likely on multiple occasions, we’ll all experience dark valleys and life’s storms. Grief, pain, loss and heartache are real, and they all hurt.

Sadly, these occurrences can become so intense and painful that they may feel like they will never end, that the hurt will never cease. Whenever one thinks about sadness, grief, sorrow and all the other emotions that typically come when we lose someone, it’s not usually thought of as a happy, joyous time.

But Andrew, in a conversation with Elmo, shares how and why he looks at the sadness he feels about losing his mother as a gift.

“You know that sadness, it’s kind of a gift,” he said. “It’s kind of a lovely thing to feel in a way because it means you really loved somebody when you miss them. And when I miss somebody, I remember, when I miss my mom, I remember all of the cuddles I used to get from her, all of the hugs I used to get from her.”

He adds how experiencing this sadness and thinking about these memories of his mother helps him feel even closer to her.

“And it makes me feel closer to her when I miss her, in a strange way,” he said. “So, I’m happy to have all the memories of my mom and the joy she brought me and the joy she brought my brother and my dad.”

Near the end of the clip, Andrew lets the popular puppet from Sesame Street in on a secret. Elmo was always his mother’s favorite on the beloved children’s program.

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Reality TV star Phil Robertson shared a powerful and moving message about how Jesus Christ brings true and lasting peace.

The world is a lost, broken and often lonely place. It’s filled with struggling and hurting people who cry out for something, anything, to provide them with even momentary relief. Sadly, people will and do search far and wide for comfort, healing and peace.

Peace is a concept foreign to the world and, personally, to most individuals. Everywhere we look – on the news, social media, and sadly, even in many families – peace is absent. But there is one who can bring a peace unlike any other, one that surpasses all understanding.

In a clip posted on social media, Phil Robertson, of Duck Dynasty fame, talks about this peace that many people do not have or even know of. It’s one that only Jesus Christ can bring about in someone’s heart and life.

“You’re never going to have peace of mind without Jesus Christ, ever,” Phil says from behind the pulpit while addressing a massive congregation. “It ain’t going to happen. Fits of rage, sexual immorality, hatred, discord, factions, envy, jealousy - you know the list of sins.”

Later in the clip, Phil talks about his life before and after he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. He goes so far as to say that he was a “heathen” before Christ came into his heart and cleaned up his life.

“So, now I’ve been at this for 42,” Phil said. “Heathen for 28, son of God for the last 42. Trust me when I tell you, this last 42 has been way better than the first 28.”

As he indicates in his comments, Phil is an example of what 2 Corinthians mentions as being made a new creation in Christ. As that passage of Scripture points out, the old things have passed away, and everything has been made new.

Philippians 4:7 “And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.”

God encourages us in Scripture to share with Him the deep concerns, and praises of our hearts! Are you spending time with Him today …? #toughquestionsforgod #dailydevotion #toughquestionsforgoddailydevotions

A quick-thinking bus driver saved a little girl walking alone in New York City.

When most people hear the word heroes, they likely think of superheroes, largely thanks to Hollywood’s endless lineup of Marvel and DC movies. Still, others may even imagine athletes, actors and, for some reason, even politicians whenever hero, heroism or heroic is mentioned. Knowing that anyone would consider individuals who campaign for public office – big or small – to be heroes means that the meaning of that title has been significantly corrupted.

Heroes are people who look out for the welfare of others. They put others ahead of themselves and, at times, risk their safety and lives for someone else, even strangers. People who put a ball through a hoop, vote in Congress or work in the Oval Office are not even remotely heroes.

But Luis Jimenez is a hero, and his quick-thinking actions likely saved a 5-year-old girl from severe injury and possibly death.

According to a video posted on YouTube, Luis, a New York City bus driver, was simply doing his job when he noticed an unusual sight. He saw a young woman walking down the sidewalk in Manhattan by herself. The video states that Louis watched the little girl for a block or so and then told someone on the bus to call 911. He knew something was wrong. 

After the call to 911, Louis stopped the bus, and he and other passengers had the child get on the bus, off the streets and away from possible harm.

“My instinct as a father came on,” Luis said. “If I see a kid in the street in need of help, I would want somebody to have to help one of my children.”

It turned out that Louis’s hunch about the young girl was correct. She had been reported missing from her school. The little lady was apparently on a mission, headed to a pet store to buy a fish to replace hers that had recently died.

Philippians 2:4 “Not looking everyone to his private good but keeping in mind the things of others.”

"Jesus Your Hometown Hero? or Your Hometown Zero?" A prophet is not honored by his relatives, hometown or own family; because of their unbelief, he couldn’t do any miracles among them except to heal a few sick folk because HIS Hometown's Faith in HIM was Zero! zero! zero! Mark 6:4 Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family.” 5 And because of their unbelief, he couldn’t do any miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them. 6 And he was amazed at their unbelief.

Sometimes we forget to consider how our relationship with God affects our daily living, decisions and perspective … just sayin #toughquestionsforgod #dailydevotion #toughquestionsforgoddailydevotions

We love dad jokes for one reason–they are delightfully cheesy. There’s something about the perfect balance between puns, eye-rolling humor, and predictability that makes them irresistible. But one man is taking it one step further. Instead of telling the hokes to his kids, this grandfather is brightening his neighborhood with daily ‘Dad Jokes.’

What makes dad jokes so endearing is that they aren’t trying too hard to be clever. They are essentially the comfort of comedy during our childhood years and beyond. In fact, my husband shares a dad joke every Friday during his work meetings with his team. Some of the newly married youngsters don’t quite get the jokes, while the older guys of the group chuckle and grin. 

Some of his jokes have been taken from this grandfather who has been posting dad jokes in his hard for over a year. Like clockwork, he heads outside to change the joke and bring a fresh new bit of cheesy humor to those who drive by and see the sign. And it’s not just the neighborhood people who love it but also drive-by commuters who pass by his house as they eagerly await the next groan-worthy punch line. 

Written under the title of Tom’s Bad Dad Jokes Of The Day, here are a few of the jokes he’s posted: 

“What do dads eat for breakfast? Pop Tarts.”

“Why was the coach yelling at the vending machine? He wanted his quarter back.”

“I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon. I’ll let you know,” meaning he wouold like you know if he could settle the debate of what came first, the chicken or the egg.

Dad jokes are a beautiful and humorous way that brings joy and can have a positive and uplifting effect in our lives and those around us. We hope Tom keeps posting jokes and all the dads out there continue to share their bad dad jokes. We love them!

Actor, author, speaker and Christian Kirk Cameron discussed his time on Growing Pains, fame and his inspiring faith journey.

Many people probably know Kirk from movies like “Fireproof,” “Lifemark” or the “Left Behind” series. He has also written several books about faith, including some for children. However, he’s best known as Mike Seaver from Growing Pains, a beloved sitcom from the mid-80s to the early 90s.

Growing Pains completely changed Kirk’s life, turning him into a star at the young age of 14. In a clip posted on YouTube, Kirk explains his start in the entertainment industry and how he got the part on Growing Pains. 

“I started doing McDonald’s commercials, 409 cleaner commercials, Froot Loops, Fruit Roll-Ups, all this stuff,” Kirk said. “And then I auditioned for a part on a TV show called Growing Pains, starring Alan Thicke – the talk show host from Canada – and I got the part and the show took off.”

Today, Kirk is one of the most outspoken Christian celebrities. He commonly speaks out about his faith, Jesus Christ and the Bible. However, as he explains, that wasn’t always the case. Kirk was an atheist before coming to Christ. In the clip, Kirk describes how his journey to faith and accepting Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior started because of a young woman he was interested in at the time.

“It wasn’t until I was about 17 years old that I met a really cute girl on the set of Growing Pains. And she was one of three identical triplets, and I was struggling with which one I wanted to ask out on a date because I couldn’t tell them apart,” he said. “They’re identical, so I was like, ‘Door No. 1, Door No. 2, Door No. 3.’”

Kirk adds he eventually asked the young woman out. But the address she gave him was not to her house but to a house of worship.

“And I asked this girl out, and she invited me to come to meet her family, sweet girl, sweet family, and the address she gave me on a Sunday morning, I found out, was a church.”

That Sunday morning’s message caused Kirk to reassess his atheism, raised questions in his mind and eventually led him to become a Christian.

Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone that believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

In an interview, Danielle Fishel, one of the stars of “Boy Meets World,” discussed her fight with cancer and how she’s using her experience to help others protect themselves and find the cancer early. 

If you grew up and watched television in the 1990s, you are likely more than familiar with “Boy Meets World.” It was a beloved sitcom about Cory Matthews, his family and his two best friends, Shawn and Topanga. It ran for seven seasons on ABC, providing everyone who tuned in with plenty of laughs. It was must-see television in the 90s.

In August 2024, Danielle, who played the odd but lovable Topanga on the show, revealed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Now, the actress revealed in an interview that her cancer was caught early. When her doctor found the cancer, Ductal Carcinoma in Situ, it was at Stage 0.

She says that right from the outset, her doctor was upbeat but also reminded her that there is no such thing as an easy or preferred type of cancer.

“My doctor told me, ‘You’re going to be okay. I just want you to know I’m so thankful that it’s Stage 0, but I do want you to know that there is no easy cancer,’” Danielle said.

She recalled the moment that she informed her husband, who lost both of his parents to cancer, about her diagnosis. After breaking the news to him, she said she “truly just saw the blood drain from his face.”

The clip posted on YouTube reveals that after undergoing two surgeries, Danielle is now cancer-free. Now, she is using her cancer diagnosis to tell others to go to their doctor and get their checkups. Danielle also added that after having gone through this, there are two areas in her life where she will now start being a little more selfish: her physical health and her mental health.

“As I’ve gotten older and I’ve become a mom and a wife, and I started thinking, ‘Is being selfless actually the virtue we think it is, or is it really harming us?’” she said. “And I think it’s really harming us, this idea of putting everybody before yourself. And when it comes to my health, when it comes to my mental health, those are just two areas that I’m not willing to sacrifice for anyone.”

3 John 1:2 “My loved one, it is my prayer that you may do well in all things, and be healthy in body, even as your soul does well.”

A heroic dog saved her elderly owner’s life by tracking down help after he fell and injured himself.

Dogs are some of the best beings you will encounter on this planet. They are loyal, dependable and loving. Also, most of the time, if you show one of those cute, furry and four-legged creatures any attention and love, you’ve got a friend for life. How can you not have a soft spot in your heart for canines?

A clip posted on YouTube details a situation in Washington state where, if not for the heroic and loving actions of one dog, her owner would have died. Instead, the dog was able to track down help and led a deputy to its owner, who had fallen and gotten injured.

The video states that Keith Johnson, 84, was letting his dog Gita outside one more morning when things took a turn for the worse. Keith states that when he let the canine out, he “got disoriented and dizzy.” He eventually stumbled to the ground, dislocating and cracking his hip.

Keith remained on the ground, unable to move, for several hours. However, Gita, the 13-year-old dog, always the trustworthy and dependable companion, stayed by Keith’s side the entire time. Eventually, Keith, understanding that he was in a terrible position, told Gita to find help.

Gita knew precisely what to do to get Keith some much-needed help.

The dog ran toward the highway and, while standing on the side of the road, caught the attention of a passing deputy. Eventually, Gita led the responding deputy straight to Keith. Gita’s actions had literally saved Keith’s life.

“I get choked up thinking about it,” Keith said. “She knew what she was doing. I tell her I love her every time I talk to her.”

Humans do not deserve dogs. God knew what He was doing when He put them on Earth.

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.”

One man’s heartfelt testimony about overcoming challenges in his life will inspire and uplift you.

Sadly, this world is a broken and lost place. Many people are struggling to get by, worrying if they can make ends meet at the end of the month. Others are hurting either physically, emotionally or spiritually and often do so in silence. They may be your neighbor, co-worker or even family members.

Unfortunately, everyone will experience deep, dark valleys and storms in life. Trials and hardships do not discriminate; they come to everyone at one time or another. However, some people try to get through such situations without the help, comfort and love of Jesus Christ. Foolishly, they try to do it with their own power.

In a short clip posted on YouTube, one man describes a challenging period in his life. He could not find work anywhere, and it was during this time that he became homeless. Eventually, he turned to God during what he called “the lowest point” of his life and started attending church.

The man says that the pastor of that church told him to tell God his problems and to place all his trust in Him. Well, the man did just that, and what happened next is truly shocking and shows the power of God.

“I just talked to Him one night,” the man said. “That next day, everything started changing. I got my own place, work every day – all because of Him.”

Additionally, earlier in the clip, before giving his powerful and moving testimony, that man admits that he “was never really into church and stuff” in his earlier years. But he now reads the Bible and is learning and teaching himself about God and His love, mercy and grace for us sinners.

2 Corinthians 12:9 “And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest on me.”

NBA player Jaden Ivey pleaded for people to turn to Jesus Christ and to seek His forgiveness.

Professional athletes are admired and adored by people all over the world. Many are amazed at their athletic prowess and what they can do on the field and court. Most people can only dream of doing what those athletes can do effortlessly on a regular basis. They have been blessed with incredible physical skills and abilities, for sure.

Because of their position as athletes, those men and women have powerful platforms. What they do and say is heard by many and can, therefore, truly impact our world. Of course, this powerful position of influence can be used for both good and bad.

Jaden Ivey, a star point guard for the Detroit Pistons, has used his position of influence and platform to encourage people to turn to Jesus Christ. He added that Christ is coming back someday and told people to ask Him to forgive their sins.

His moving and powerful plea was captured and posted on YouTube.

“First, I just want to say that, that Jesus is the way, the truth, the life,” Jaden said. “And to, to any, any of, you know, the world that’s hearing this message: the Kingdom of Heaven is near. Jesus is coming back, and we all have to repent for our sins."

Later in the short video, he said, "We all have to put our faith in Jesus,” saying, “He will come back when you least expect it.”

Jaden added, “It’s time to wake up if you haven’t put your faith in Jesus Christ.”

This isn’t the only time the former Purdue University star has publicly demonstrated and shared his faith in Jesus Christ. In an Instagram post, Jaden posted a photo of himself being baptized with the caption “Nothing Without Jesus,” along with the Bible verses James 1:17 and 2 Corinthians 5:17.

2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold things are become new.”
