Swim Instructor Helps Frightened Toddler With Inspiring Mantra

A man teaching a toddler how to swim asked the little girl to recite a phrase to help her overcome her fears, and the results are just too cute.

As the temperatures and humidity increase, more and more people will opt to partake in water-related activities. Those can be fun for people who know how to navigate bodies of water. However, for other people who aren’t strong swimmers or don’t know how to swim, those activities can be dangerous.

That’s why teaching children, who usually love jumping into the nearest pool, how to swim is a good idea. But like anything else, new and unfamiliar, swimming can be scary at first.

In a video posted on Facebook, one man, Tyler Reed, showed how he helped and tried to encourage a toddler to overcome her fears of swimming. It’s a short, sweet and to-the-point phrase.

Tyler, while standing in the pool, faces the little lady and has her recite after him.

“I’m big,” Tyler says. “I’m brave. I’m beautiful.”

When it’s the child’s turn to repeat the mantra, she tries but doesn’t say it 100 percent right. Nevertheless, it’s still super cute!

“I big,” the child says. “I brae. I’m boofuball”

According to Sunny Skyz, Tyler is an instructor at an aquatic training center in Tampa Bay, Florida.

The touching video ends with Tyler telling the little aspiring swimmer to “come here, give me huggies.” The young lady embraces her instructor in a tender hug.

What a beautiful example of someone exhibiting care, love and patience for another who may not be totally ready to take the next step in her training.

As Tyler no doubt knows and shows with the mantra he has the child recite, having confidence in oneself is a big help when trying anything new or different. 

Proverbs 3:26 “For the Lord shall be your confidence, and shall keep your foot from being taken.”

Gym Owner Finds Homeless Man Sleeping In His Car Then Gives Him A Cup Of Coffee

A gym owner in Memphis, Tennessee, used a cup of coffee to change one man’s life after he found him sleeping in his car.

Life is a series of choices and decisions. Those actions yesterday will result in today's and tomorrow’s circumstances. However, while that may be true, everyone needs a little love and grace at times.

Roderick Duncan is a gym owner in Tennessee. He is a big proponent that change doesn't happen overnight. He also believes that our choices ultimately guide the direction of our lives. That’s why when he found 24-year-old Bryan Taylor, a homeless man living in one of his vehicles, he took a different approach, but not at first. 

As the video posted on YouTube points out, Bryan showed up repeatedly, sleeping in Roderick’s car. Eventually, instead of kicking him out, the gym owner tried something else entirely. He got to know the young man over a cup of coffee.

The video mentions that Bryan had endured a difficult childhood and had a drinking issue. This time, Roderick showed Bryan love and helped him get his life back on track. He bought him some clothes, took him to job interviews and gave him a place to sleep on his couch. 

However, over the course of their relationship, Bryan has messed up. He’s failed to live up to Roderick’s standards or violated some rules. But Roderick continues to show the man grace and love.

“Some people need more than one chance, you know?” Roderick said. “Some people, it takes, it takes a while for most kids to stop bumping their heads.”

Because of Roderick’s continued patience, love and grace, Bryan’s life has dramatically improved.

“I got a job,” Bryan said. “I got more confidence. I got a smile on my face.”

Because of a single cup of coffee and a lot of love and patience, Roderick is helping Bryan turn his life around.

1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all that you do be done in love.”

Couple Dressed As Barbie And Ken Perform Epic Dance Number

Two talented dancers showed off their moves while performing as the iconic and beloved dolls Barbie and Ken.

Every person had a favorite toy as a child. Maybe it was the always-popular writing and drawing device Etch A Sketch. Perhaps the Slinky was the go-to object for fun and amusement. For those outdoor types, the toy of choice may have been the Radio Flyer red wagon or a Schwinn bicycle. 

However, if dolls or action figures were your favorites, you really had two main options: Barbie or the plastic green army men. Decades after the slender doll first hit store shelves, Mattel’s Barbie remains as popular as ever. It has even spawned a film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. 

In a clip posted to YouTube, two dancers – Alexander and Veronika Voskalchuk – performed a 4-and-a-half-minute routine as the iconic Barbie and Ken dolls. Their creative and inventive dance number gets underway on a hilarious note, even before the music begins.

Veronika, wearing a long, flowing and frilly pink dress, is carried out onto and placed on the dance floor. Her hands, legs and face are frozen in place, like the doll loved by many. Seconds later, Veronika is followed by her dance partner, Alexander, who also is carried out onto the floor. 

Then the music kicks in, which, of course, is the song “Barbie Girl” by Aqua. Veronika and Alexander move around and greet one another in a manner reminiscent of dolls with limited movement. 

The audience obviously loves the uproarious and inventive routine. They give the two dancers a rousing round of applause and cheers about a minute into their dance.

At approximately the 1:30-minute mark in the clip, the two dancers pour a magical, glitter-type substance on one another, which gives them their full range of motion. 

The rest of their dance number is a dazzling display of artistry, skill and creativity. The audience, at the end of their routine, once again, shows the two performers their appreciation with a hearty round of applause and cheers.

Psalm 30:11 “You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.”

9 Times People’s Dying Wishes Are Fulfilled

Several people approaching their final days on Earth had those around them go to great lengths to make their last and final wish come true.

Unfortunately, death is something that all will face and experience at one time or another. The circumstances surrounding the death do not make losing a loved one any less difficult. However, when death is expected, it’s a chance to cherish those moments, making the remaining time with that person much more valuable and precious.

A video posted on YouTube shows how far some people went to make the final wish of their dying loved ones a reality. One person was even able to push a billion-dollar company to let a dying man view a highly anticipated film before its scheduled release date. 

Star Wars films are beloved pieces of cinema, having created legions of dedicated fans. In 2015, Disney was set to release another film in the franchise in December. However, Daniel Fleetwood, diagnosed with terminal cancer, was not expected to live that long. 

So, Daniel’s wife, with help from social media and actor Mark Hamill, got Disney’s attention. Daniel did get the opportunity to watch the film before his death, according to the clip.

Other instances mentioned in the clip involve people moving up graduations and even weddings for the dying parents to see their children take those monumental steps. 

Back in 2017, a 58-year-old woman was in her final days in a hospital. However, she just wanted to see her pet horse one last time. Knowing the woman could not get her to the horse, the animal was brought to her. 

Another last wish, this one from an 87-year-old woman with Parkinson’s Disease, also involved a horse. The woman, who was a former equestrian, wanted one last ride. She had that wish granted. 

The clip, filled with loving and caring people working to help soothe their loved ones as they prepare to pass away, is a tear-jerker of a video. It’ll be hard to watch all 5-and-a-half minutes without getting emotional. 

Revelation 21:4 “And he will put an end to all their weeping; and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain; for the first things have come to an end.”

Chorus Students Spanning 30 Years Return To Give Retiring Teacher Musical Send Off

Hundreds of former students returned to their alma mater to say “thank you” to a beloved retiring high school educator, singing with the teacher one last time.

Teaching is a noble and important occupation. Whether it be at the elementary, middle, high school or college level, those educators are shaping and molding the minds of the next generation. Throughout a teaching career, educators can and do affect the lives of thousands of young people.

Jim Stanley, a high school chorus teacher in Georgia, is retiring after 30 years in the profession. However, before he put away his chorus book and sheet music for good, Jim came up with an idea. He invited former students to come and sing with his current students. It would be a musical send-off for the teacher, according to a video posted on YouTube

Instead of just a few alums returning to sing with Jim one last, the invitation reached hundreds of former students. Jim never envisioned turnout would grow to be so big.

“I put it out there, went ahead and scheduled it,” Jim said. “Thinking I maybe might be able to get 20, 25 kids come back and I was going to have them sing with my current kids on our final concert of the year. Then a couple of alumni actually established a Facebook group, which grew and grew and grew from week to week.”

The students who returned weren’t just those who still live around the Georgia high school either. 

“They came from as far away as Canada, Texas, Chicago,” Cindy Harter Sims said. “People stopped everything in their life so that they would have a chance to say, ‘thank you’ to Jim Stanley.”

What a terrific show of kindness and love that students spanning decades returned to say goodbye to a dedicated educator.

5-Year-Old Makes Birthday Days For Kids In His Community

One young man goes to great lengths to ensure people he doesn’t know have a happy birthday.

For adults, birthdays are not all that exciting or even welcome. It’s simply another reminder that, yes, we are getting older. But when it comes to children and birthdays, they have a decidedly different idea of the annual celebration. Most young children eagerly look forward to the day marking their entry into the world. 

One young man, 5-year-old Lukas from Wisconsin, knows children enjoy birthdays. That’s why he puts in the effort to make their big day special, according to a video posted on YouTube.

Lukas creates birthday cards for every child in his Wisconsin town. As the video mentions, the card-creating action originally started out as a community service project. However, Lukas has continued making birthday cards. 

Sam Smith, Lukas's mother, states that her son wanted to keep doing the activity. 

“And we got our hours in that we needed, and he just wanted to keep doing it,” Sam said. “It was like happy mom heart. I was so excited that he was like so loving and wanted to give back.”

Birthday card creation has since morphed into a hobby for young Lukas. It's a hobby that has helped to brighten the day of one little boy.  

Megan Novak asked for a Lukas-made birthday card for her son Eddie. She is moved by the 5-year-old’s mission to bring happiness to others. 

“It just shows that he wants to spread happiness,” Megan said. “And just share some joy with the other kids.” 

While Lukas may only be five years old, he is showing the recipients of the cards in his Wisconsin town, and everyone else, that spreading kindness and happiness is as simple as putting a few stickers on a piece of construction paper. 

Good job, young man! 

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.”

Couple Dances Incredible Boogie Woogie Improv

Two gifted dancers showed their impressive moves during a wholly improvised dance number.

Dance, like anything else, takes hours and hours of dedicated practice to appear even slightly competent at it. Sure, anyone can go out on the dance floor and try a move. But the odds of looking like a complete and total amateur who has no idea what they are doing are fairly high, almost a certainty.

A video posted to YouTube shows two people who are anything but amateurs. In the clip, Sondre and Tanya, a “professional swing dance couple,” took to the floor and in an improvised boogie woogie dance, wowed an adoring crowd.

In the nearly 5-minute clip, the two talented dancers strut their stuff, moving rhythmically along to the music being sung and played by the band. Their moves are so in sync that they appear to glide across the dance floor as one. 

While the young man in the video obviously has a plethora of moves and tons of talent, it’s his female partner who steals the show. She moves rhythmically with relative ease, making it appear easy. Of course, anyone knows that is not the case at all.

At approximately the 24-second mark of the clip, the woman employs one of Michael Jackson’s patented dance moves – the Moonwalk. For a few seconds, she does actually look to be moving backward on a moving walkway. 

If that wasn’t impressive enough, the couple uses acrobatic moves in their dance number. After picking up his female partner, the man throws her toward the ground, sending her through his legs and sliding onto the floor. They use another acrobatic move to finish off their dance. The man flips the woman, head over heels, over his shoulder. 

The entire clip is a sight to behold for those who enjoy dance and for anyone who can’t even take a step without twisting an ankle. 

Psalm 149:3 “Let them praise his name in dance: let them sing praises to him with the tambourine and harp.”
