Hope & Faith

Several people shed tears during an emotional moment as Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin gave an award to the men and women who helped save his life. 

Football is a violent sport filled with quick, massive world-class athletes slamming into and tackling one another on every play. Injuries are a common occurrence during a regular game of football. But what happened during a January Monday night game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals was anything but ordinary. It was frightening. 

Following the end of a play, Damar was seen collapsing to the ground. Emergency crews rushed onto the field, attending to the player. It was later revealed that he had suffered cardiac arrest. He spent several days in the hospital while his life hung in the balance. He has since been released and has been OK’d to resume playing football.

During ESPN’s most recent ESPYS award ceremony, Damar presented the medical professionals who rushed to his side – the Buffalo Bills training staff – with the Pat Tillman Award for Service.

As the clip posted on YouTube shows, Damar was already emotional as he approached the microphone, wiping tears from his eyes. The entire room responded by giving the young man a standing ovation. 

While speaking on behalf of the entire training staff, Nate Breske, thanked the good Lord for His assistance in keeping Damar alive.

“By the grace of God and divine intervention, we had the best outcome we could have prayed for or imagined,” he said. 

Near the end of his speech, Nate stated that while Damar’s situation was frightening, one good thing did come from it.

“Damar’s injury was able to bring our nation together for a moment and show the world the power of prayer,” he said.

Mark 11:24 “For this reason I say to you, ‘Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it.”

Many members of the cute, furry and four-legged community came together to help make one man’s milestone birthday a day he and his family will never forget.

As people get older, birthdays are occasions most like less and less. In fact, those are days on the calendar a good majority of people would like to skip over altogether. However, everything is always better with dogs, even days that remind us that we’re getting older.

A clip posted on YouTube mentions that one family in California took an unusual route when celebrating their father’s 100th birthday. They threw the man a dog parade! And the four-legged community and their two-legged owners responded in a big, big way.

Nearly 200 dogs joined in the surprise dog parade for Dr. Robert Moore. The video points out that Robert was overjoyed by the surprise lineup of dogs, petting every dog that came by to wish him a happy birthday.

Not only did Robert greet every member of the four-legged community by petting them, but he also knew every breed of dog he encountered!

One of Robert’s daughters, Vickie Mallon, was overjoyed by the turnout.

“This is probably the biggest thing that’s happened in our family that’s given us the most joy,” she said.

But the surprises did not stop with the seemingly endless line of dogs ready to meet and greet Robert on his big day. The clip points out that attendees brought “gifts, flowers, balloons and posters.” 

So, who were these people that came out and helped bring a smile to Robert’s face? They were total and complete strangers.

“They were mostly strangers. They were,” Alison Moore, Robert’s daughter said. “And it just, it makes you feel wonderful about your community that people would come out and do that for your dad that you love so much.”

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.”

Revelation

One man’s trip to the barber ended in a moving and touching show of support for his daughter battling cancer.

Parents want nothing more for their children to be happy and healthy. Whenever their child is suffering or in pain, those parents are also hurting, wishing there was some way to alleviate that discomfort even a little bit.

In a video posted on YouTube, one father found a loving way to do that for his daughter. It involved a barber taking scissors to his hair. 

DAndray Thomas’ daughter, Brielle, is suffering from stage 4 cancer. Due to the treatments intended to fight the cancer, the chemo and radiation, Brielle has lost her hair. So, to show he is with the young woman every step of the way in her fight, DAndray got his ears lowered. 

As the video mentions, DAndray had dreadlocks that he’d been growing for nine years. But that no longer mattered to him. What is important to this loving father is supporting his daughter in any way possible.

The video shows DAndray sitting in the barber’s chair as scissors and clippers are taken to his hair. He even holds up a long, thick strand of hair to show how much he’s having removed from his head.

The video concludes with Brielle standing with her back to a chain-link fence. DAndray approaches, wearing a wig and hat, but as he removes the hat and fake hair, someone loudly gasps. 

Brielle then turns around to get a look at her father’s new hairdo. They lovingly embrace as DAndray gives his daughter a kiss on the forehead.

Before the video ends, a quote from DAndray pops up on the screen.

“I will be with her throughout every event and experience in her life,” it reads.

What a simple but sweet way for a father to show how much he cares for and loves his young daughter. 

Psalm 127:3 “Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.”

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.”

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. 

Luke 6:40 “The disciple is not above his teacher: but every one that is perfect shall be as his teacher.”

No matter what we may be going through, The Lord promises us enough grace from the Throne Room of Heaven to get through. Thankfully we are never alone.

Watch this emotional video of a young boy crying after learning that his family finally has a home again after being without one for a while.

Darrell and Mallory are husband and wife and have two sons together. Recently, Darrell had to undergo emergency open-heart surgery, and he was unable to work for six months. His wife Mallory had to work two jobs to avoid eviction.

“I was working two jobs while I was helping him in recovery,” Mallory said. 

“We just kept falling farther and farther behind. Finally, it got to the point where we couldn’t stay where we were at anymore,” shared Darrell.

“We realized that we are going to have to break our lease to avoid eviction,” said Mallory.

The family was able to stay with a friend while they were trying to find a new place to live, and they also had to move into a hotel for two weeks during that time.

“It was extremely stressful,” Mallory shared. “And it was stressful on our kids, but they were so amazing. I mean, they just were so resilient.”

When the family finally had their application approved for a home, they were so relieved. And Mallory decided to take a video of her kids when she and her husband revealed that their family had a new place to call home.

“That day, we picked the kids up from school,” she said. “They came out of the car, and I said, ‘I’m going to hit record.’ And I turned around and said, ‘Hey. By the way, this is our house.’”

That’s when her son, Evin, completely lost it and cried tears of joy! Mallory went on to share the heartwarming video on her TikTok, and it went viral and so many people wanted to help the family out by sending appliances and furniture for their new home.

“The first day, when we got the keys to the house, that was the day we were going to open everything. It was like the best Christmas morning, to watch our kids open all those gifts and to feel so loved by people and supported. It was an amazing week. We were just so grateful. We just can’t believe that we’re here and that this is our life, and that we survived the hardest year of our lives. And we’re here, and we’re comfortable and stable,” Mallory said.

What a blessing and a testimony of God’s faithfulness towards this family!

A Holy Spirit inspired poem for the Bride of Christ origianlly asked for a song that would encourage single parents and this is what came forth. Also a prophetic prayer for now times and encouragement.

The Apostle Paul and John in the book of Revelation had a glimpse of "The Third Heaven" They were unable to describe its majesty. For the believer in Christ this day will become a reality.
I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. 3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— 4 was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.2 Corinthians 12:1-4.
I was inspired by Jon Jenkins with his song Cross over
