Heartwarming

Josh Groban took a series of rapid-fire questions mid-teacup ride. The beloved singer, while enjoying a ride on one of Disneyland's most iconic attractions, was asked a series of questions. Watch the short but eye-opening clip to hear what Josh had to say about a variety of topics and subjects.

Disneyland in Southern California and its East Coast counterpart, the Disney World resort, in Central Florida, are two of the most iconic and beloved theme parks in the entire world. Whenever someone mentions Disney, more than likely an image of those towering castles immediately pops into your head. It’s either the castle or one of their legendary attractions, like Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, It’s a Small World or the Matterhorn.

In addition to all the iconic rides, those sweet, sugary treats and long lines, you can never be totally what or who you might see when visiting a Disney park. You may get off Pirates of the Caribbean and run right into Captain Jack Sparrow, Capt. Hook and his faithful, diminutive and slightly overweight sidekick, Mr. Smee. Or as one clip posted on YouTube shows, you might even come across a celebrity, a world-class singer.

Josh Groban was just about to enjoy a ride on the Mad Hatter’s Teacups when he had someone else join him right before the attraction got underway. He was then asked a series of probing questions as he enjoyed a ride on the whirling and twirling teacups.

Naturally, being in Disneyland and with Josh being a world-renowned singer with an unmistakable voice, the first question was about his favorite Disney song.

“Oh, got to be ‘When You Wish Upon a Star,’ a classic,” Josh said.

Later, he was asked which Disney character, if given the opportunity, he would like to sing a song with, and his answer is likely to surprise you.

“I would love to duet with Goofy,” he said. “I feel like the two of us have beautiful, baritone voices, and it would go really well.”

The “You Raise Me Up” singer was also asked about his first concert. This one is sure to throw you for a loop, too.

“My first ever concert I ever attended was third grade – New Kids on the Block Christmas concert at the Forum,” he said. ‘Thanks, Dad!”

These are only a couple of the handful of questions Josh was asked during his ride on the teacups.

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;”

This new mom wasn’t sure about motherhood, and then everything changed. She initially had strong reservations about becoming a parent, but now her attitude and outlook on the situation have changed dramatically. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear the mother describe how she initially was very apprehensive and anxious about being a parent, and how she now has a very different perspective and feelings.

Being a parent is one of the greatest blessings anyone can experience on Earth. In fact, many would argue, I believe rightfully so, that welcoming a child into your home is the best thing that can happen to anyone. Children are a gift from the Lord above, and they should be treated as such.

However, as every parent knows, there are typically many questions, uncertainty and even fear that arise before the child arrives, especially for first-time parents. Will I be a good parent? How will I do this or that? What if the child needs that, and I’m unable to provide the thing they need most? Children will forever change your lives in every way imaginable, so being a little unsure and uncertain seems to be completely understandable.

In a clip posted on social media, a young woman shared that she was more than a little unsure about becoming a parent. Even after becoming pregnant, she remained unsure whether she was up to the challenge of motherhood. Did she even want to be a mom?

However, as she adds, she has completely changed her mind about being a mother. In her opinion, being a parent is one of the greatest things in the world, a sentiment sure to elicit near-universal agreement.

“I had her, and it’s been three days,” she said. “She’s three days old, and I want 75 of these. I want 75 of them. I’m already thinking in my mind, like, when can I do this again? The hormones that flood your brain that get rid of any thoughts of labor or discomfort or any, all the money that you’ve spent on them so far, it completely wipes out your brain. And it creates new memories of this is the best thing in the entire world that's ever happened to me. So, now I understand why people have like five of these things.”

Psalm 127:3 “See, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”

This elderly woman’s adorable gardening assistant will melt your heart. These two have quite the green thumb, or paw. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see who helps this woman with her gardening and how.

Aren’t dogs the best? I mean, how can someone not like dogs? Even those who would not consider themselves animal people still must have a soft spot in their hearts for them. As we all know, they are referred to as man’s best friend, and that’s a title that they have earned, and we see more and more examples of why every day.

Dogs are some of the most loving, kind and loyal creatures on this planet. Show a canine a little bit of kindness and attention, and you have yourself a friend for the rest of your life. Also, it doesn’t matter if you’ve been gone for five minutes, five days or five months; upon your return, that dog will be sitting there waiting for you, just wanting to jump about as they give you big, wet, slobbery kisses.

Since we are all well aware of the loving and kind nature of dogs, it should be no surprise that whenever we hear of something else one is doing or has done for someone else. However, those stories never fail to further deepen our appreciation for those four-legged, furry creatures.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a woman in her 90s stays active by gardening. She enjoys planting flowers in her front yard. However, this 96-year-old grandmother does not do this alone. She gets some special assistance from Chewy, a Newfoundland dog.

With the dog by her side, the woman simply points to the spot in the yard where she’d like to plant the flowers, and her furry assistant gets to work. The animal immediately gets to work digging, making a hole for the woman to put the flower into, and it’s just about the cutest thing in the world!

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.”

A father shared a tear-jerking message on how the mess is a blessing. This dad understands his child will only be little for a short time, so he’s going to appreciate every minute of it, even the messy parts. Watch this short but powerful clip to hear what this father had to say about cherishing every moment with your children.

Everyone who is a parent will agree that there is nothing like it. There is no greater blessing on Earth than being a parent. Watching them grow, learn and explore is an experience unlike any other. Children are a gift from the Lord and should be treated as such.

However, as all parents also understand, those children do not stay little for long. Before you know it, that baby you brought home from the hospital is ready to head off to kindergarten, and you’re doing everything you can to keep the tears from flowing. Blink, and they are starting high school. Do it again, and now they’ve graduated and are now backing out of your driveway, heading to college.

So, that’s why it’s important to cherish every moment with your children, even those messes, especially the messes. In a clip posted on YouTube, a father reflects on a recent interaction with his 4-year-old daughter. His powerful, heartwarming and tear-jerking message reminds parents that powerful, beautiful memories can even come from those messes.

“I think, too often, we forget that what looks like a mess to us is actually a memory being built in real time, right in front of us, for both of us,” he said. “It’s just her little body saying, ‘Hang out in my world for a minute, Dad. Before I grow up, will you meet me here?”

That’s an incredibly powerful message and a reminder to slow down and cherish the time with our children because once they are gone, they are gone forever.

Ephesians 6:4 “And, you fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.”

This child’s generosity will touch your heart. Surprisingly, he was willing to do whatever he could do to lend a helping hand. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see what the young man did when he learned someone was in need.

Everyone would like to think that they are generous and kind. No one thinks of themselves as stingy or uncaring. People want to believe that if someone approached them with a need and asked for help, they’d instantly respond, give generously and do so without hesitation. But is that really the case? We’d sure like to think so, wouldn’t we?

Are we really generous, or is that belief simply something we perceive in our minds, and not reflective of reality at all? What would we do if someone approached us and said they needed help with this or that, and if we could only give this amount of money, that would solve their issue? Would we give them the money or turn our nose up at them, believing their problems are not our issues? That’s certainly something to think about and consider.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a young man was approached and informed about someone in need. This person was in desperate need of money for formula. What he did next will warm your heart and touch it.

After hearing about his mother’s friend, the little guy did not hesitate. He immediately went out to his piggy bank and started sorting through his money. He lovingly and generously started handing over his own money to help someone else.

“I’m pretty sure I can share my money,” the little guy said.

His actions and concern are a perfect example for everyone. He was not even worried about being paid back for his generosity. He did not set any conditions on the money he was handing over. The only thing he did not want to part with was his coins, because he likes them.

Luke 6:38 “Give, and it shall be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again.”

A woman shared a powerful testimony about God’s healing touch. Her tear-jerking story demonstrates that He is alive and at work, still in the business of doing miracles. Watch the short but moving clip to hear her talk about how she literally felt the healing touch of God in her life.

Most people would likely say that miracles do not occur today. They would probably add that miracles are things that we read about in the Bible and only happened in Biblical times. People like Noah, Moses, Lazarus and Daniel experienced and witnessed miracles, but not individuals today, they’d say.

But is that the case? Do miracles not take place in today’s day and age? Is God just sitting back with His feet up, watching things take place? Does God not intervene any longer? Well, that’s not what the Bible says; Jesus instructs us to pray and believe that we have received it, and it shall be done. That statement would also seem to include miracles, instances when we ask God to get involved and dramatically change a situation.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a young woman was asked to return after a routine medical evaluation for further tests. A test revealed a mass in her pancreas. She was facing the very real possibility of cancer.  Of course, this would be a frightening situation for anyone. No one wants to hear that from their doctor.

So, what did she do? She received anointing, and there were prayers said about her medical situation before she went in for more tests. But right before she went in, while waiting in her car, she began singing, “Open the Eyes of My Heart.”  It was while she was singing that she said she felt something unexpected happen.

Later, after receiving her results, there was nothing. The doctor told her everything was perfect and that nothing showed up in the scan.

Philippians 4:6 “In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”

A young man beat cancer and celebrated by pulling off this move. It’s likely that no one expected the little guy to do this surprising maneuver as he recognized the end of his cancer treatments. Watch the short but hilarious yet heartwarming clip to see how the little guy commemorated this special occasion.

We live in a lost and fallen world. Sin, ever since that act of disobedience in the Garden of Eden, has done a number on this place. Marriages and families have been destroyed, careers have been ruined and lives have been turned upside down by sin. Everything has been made infinitely and incalculably worse by sin.

Sadly, sin’s presence has also damaged and destroyed our bodies through sickness and disease. Far too many families are familiar with the sadness and devastation brought upon by cancer or some other horrible disease or life-threatening condition.

Even worse, the youngest and most vulnerable members of society, children, are not safe from these deadly diseases and conditions. However, as a clip posted on YouTube shows, there can still be joy and happiness during a cancer battle, especially when the young patient comes out on top and defeats cancer.

It was all joy and happiness as the young man made his way down the hallway after completing chemotherapy. He strutted along, showing off his fancy dance moves as others cheered, beyond happy that this little guy had faced down cancer and won.

Eventually, he started to pick up the pace, and then that’s when he made his surprise move. He actually did a cartwheel, which was appreciated and loved by everyone who was lining both sides of the hallway.

But where was the little guy going during his walk down the hallway? Where was he headed? He proudly and loudly rang the bell, which the video points out, signifies that he is free of cancer!

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

An unexpected act of kindness from a young Oklahoma City Thunder fan will warm your heart. The little guy surprised his fellow Thunder fan by doing something no one saw coming. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see what one basketball fan did for another.

Kindness is sorely lacking in society today. It seems that most people are out for themselves and couldn’t care less about others' needs and concerns. As long as I get what I want, well, that’s all that really matters; that’s the kind of thinking and mindset most people exhibit.

That selfish, self-centered thinking can be spotted everywhere we look and go. Take a gander at any popular social media platforms, watch a few minutes of a national television broadcast or listen to anyone running for or currently in elected office, and you’ll see several examples of it in no time. For the most part, people do not concern themselves with others' welfare and well-being. So, whenever we do see examples that go against the norm, especially when they come from some of the youngest members of society, we tend to sit up and take notice.

In a clip posted on social media, two young Oklahoma City Thunder fans are desperately hoping to snag a t-shirt thrown into the crowd.

At one point, one of the two young men had caught a t-shirt, but unfortunately, the other kid was not as lucky. He stood there, empty-handed and upset, realizing his efforts had been in vain. It was clear that he was not going to get a shirt.

However, then something happened that caught everyone, especially the other little basketball fan, by surprise. The child with the shirt, unprompted, tapped the other young man on the arm and gave him his shirt.

There aren’t many people, let alone children, who would have done that. Sure, it was a small act of kindness, but we can never be sure when something we view as small will mean the world to someone else.

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.”

A soldier and a woman shared a hug, and the reason why will bring you to tears. Their warm and loving embrace happened between two people who did not know one another. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see the touching and powerful moment.

The world is often a sad, lonely and frightening place. People have the surprising ability to inflict incredible amounts of needless pain and suffering upon one another. The evidence for this can be seen all around us – on social media, in the workplace, in the news, in our neighborhoods, and, sadly, at times, even in our own homes.

There is too much hatred and division in this world, and entirely too little kindness, empathy and compassion. How difficult is it to be kind to someone? It usually doesn’t take much time, and the monetary cost is typically nonexistent. Who knows, a simple, what we might call meaningless, act of kindness, could be the thing that changes and brightens someone’s day, week or life. We never know the difference our actions will make until we try.

A clip posted on social media captures the aftermath immediately following an Army graduation ceremony. The video’s description states that the soldiers have just graduated from basic training and are celebrating their accomplishment with their family and friends.

However, the clip begins with a woman and a soldier hugging. The woman, a mother-in-law, spotted a soldier who had no family or friends in attendance to witness his graduation. So, she stepped up and offered the young man a hug, and it’s clear that he greatly appreciated her kind and loving gesture.

The woman saw a need and acted without hesitation. She showed kindness and compassion for a young man, who almost certainly greatly appreciated it.

Kindness does not have to involve big, grand gestures. Often, little ones will suffice, and they are usually the most meaningful and appreciated.

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.”

Many customers who frequent a Publix location are more than happy to wait in this specific line. The reason they do not mind waiting will bring a tear or two to your eye. Watch this short but powerful clip to hear what makes one checkout line at a Publix in Georgia so special.

Grocery shopping is one of the worst things humans must do with regularity. Shopping is already a horrible activity, but when it involves entering, looking for and purchasing items at a grocery store, it gets considerably worse. There is no such thing as a quick trip to the grocery store.

People, when they walk through those doors, seem to magically forget that others exist. And you know exactly what I am talking about. It never fails that someone will be standing right in front of whatever you need, carefully and thoroughly examining bottles of ketchup as if they’ve never seen the popular condiment before.

However, at a Publix in Acworth, Georgia, there doesn’t seem to be any of that typical stress and anxiety. Instead, customers will willingly wait 30-40 minutes in a specific checkout line. And why do the customers do this? It’s so they can interact with Michael Masterangelo.
Michael, who has an intellectual disability, loves and cheers on all of the customers who come through his line.

“I’m just so happy to be here every day to work,” Michael said.

And his unbridled happiness and joy are infectious, rubbing off on customers and co-workers alike. Michael’s mother says her son is a people person who is always happy and upbeat.

One customer said that whenever she comes into the store, she immediately looks to see if 
Michael is working. She added that if he is, “it just changes everything.”

Michael doesn’t just brighten the lives of customers and his co-workers; his efforts and tremendous attitude are having a far-reaching impact.

Michael raised more than $31,000 in donations at his register for the Special Olympics.
“He raised more alone than certain districts in our region,” one Publix employee said.

What a wonderful young man. It’s clear that he was working at your local grocery store, grocery shopping would be a lot less terrible.

Hebrews 13:16 “But go on doing good and giving to others, because God is well-pleased with such offerings.”

Sweetie Pie, this Mountain Mama Soul Sister is servin’ up country wisdom with a side of humor. One simple shift — GRATITUDE — can bring peace, joy, and blessings into your life.

We confront the paralyzing reality of "great fear where no fear had been" and explore how the enemy uses the brokenness of this world to mask the spiritual victory God has already won.

Does a marriage fall apart in a single moment of crisis, or does it slowly wear thin in the "long middle"? This week, Dana Che, host of the Rebuilding Us podcast, joins Jaime for an honest conversation on redeeming broken marriages based on her new book, Tried and True: Marriage Advice from 12 Imperfect Biblical Couples. In this episode, Dana shares her powerful personal testimony of marrying at 18, navigating infidelity, and how God transformed their hearts of stone into hearts of flesh. She unpacks the spiritual danger of "hiding" from your spouse—like Adam and Eve—and offers practical advice for women who feel spiritually mismatched or disconnected from their husbands. Dana also tackles the controversial stance that children should not come first in the family hierarchy, explaining why prioritizing the marriage covenant is actually the best gift you can give your kids to prevent "gray divorce." You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on how to pray for your husband rather than against him to control outcomes, and how to trust Jesus as the Mediator when you feel too weary to pray. Visit danache.com to connect with Dana and pick up a copy of her new book at triedandtruemarriagebook.com.

John Crist shared his thoughts on the right and grateful way to view aging. The popular funnyman had some insightful words on getting older. Watch the short, but powerful and moving clip to hear what John had to say about the proper way to view the aging process.

Time is something that no one can or will ever be able to stop. It constantly marches forward, going into the future and not stopping or waiting for anyone. Unfortunately, as everyone knows, no matter how much we ignore or despise our birthdays, aging is a consistent and constant process as well. Even though beauty may promise otherwise, there is no way to stop, reverse or slow down the aging process. Human beings get older, and that is a fact of life.

Even though getting older is a fact, many still struggle with it. They may lie about their age or refuse to acknowledge their birthdays, but that doesn’t really change anything. So, instead of avoiding and lying about getting older, why not do something else about it? Why not be grateful for getting older, and perhaps even celebrate aging?

In a clip posted on YouTube, John shared the right way to confront aging. Simply be thankful for another day of life and make the most of it. We are not promised tomorrow. Thank the Lord for giving us another day of life when He did not have to do that at all.

“That’s the right way to look at it,” he said. “If you had to look at it one of the two ways, that’s the way to look at it.”

Later in the clip, John imagined what our lives would be like if we took this approach to getting older.

“What if that was us?” he asked. “What if you could live like that?”

He also added “that’s the way, and “this is the way.”

Proverbs 16:31 “The grey head is a crown of glory, if it is seen in the way of righteousness.”

Can a soul truly flourish while carrying the heavy burden of collateral damage? In this devotional on Psalm 52, we confront one of the darkest moments in David’s life—the massacre at Nob. We explore the aftermath of Doeg the Edomite’s "sharp razor" betrayal, which led to the slaughter of 85 priests and an entire town, leaving David wrestling with the crushing weight of responsibility for their deaths. We move beyond the horror to examine David’s defiant choice of faith: the stark contrast between the "boastful wickedness" of the enemy and David’s self-declaration as a "green olive tree" in the house of God. Join host Jaime Hampton on the Praying Christian Women podcast for a session of deep restoration. If you are navigating the fallout of someone else’s betrayal, or if you are struggling with guilt over pain you feel you caused, this episode offers a sanctuary for your soul. Come ready to plant your roots deep in God’s presence, trusting that His loving-kindness endures even when the world is in chaos.

A little girl has made a big difference in the lives of these senior citizens. How she did it will surprise you and also probably bring a tear or two to your eyes. Watch this short but heartwarming clip to see what this young woman did that brought these elderly people a lot of joy and comfort.

The world is often a dark, unforgiving and unkind place. Most people are only concerned about themselves, fulfilling their needs and wants, and completely disregard everyone else. This selfish, self-centered, dog-eat-dog mentality is prevalent and can easily be seen nearly everywhere we look and go.

Sadly, as a result of this selfish, self-centered mentality that is so pervasive and ever-increasing, often the most vulnerable members of society are forgotten and tossed aside. Most elderly individuals are yearning for someone, anyone, to pay a little bit of attention to them. Simply sitting down and spending a few moments with them would more than likely do wonders, brightening their entire day, maybe even their week or whole month.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a young woman, 11-year-old Ruby, approached several residents in a nursing home, sat down with them, pen and notepad in hand, and asked a rather odd question.

“If you could have any three things, what would they be?” the young woman asked.

As the residents replied, she recorded their answers. What she found shocked her. She admits that she thought they would “say like money, houses, Lamborghini.” But instead of a healthy bank account, a nice house and an expensive car, they wanted simple, practical things like an electric razor, shirts, Dr. Pepper and even Vienna sausage.

So, what was Ruby’s next step? She set out to fulfill those wishes, to make them come true. And when she did, the result was heartwarming, bound to bring a tear or two to your eye.

It just goes to show you that a little bit of kindness and empathy can go a long way.

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

You won’t believe the hilarious way this man shared his faith at a Starbucks. He used humor to make a very salient and crucial point about the Lord. Watch the short but hysterical clip to see what he did that will have you laughing and nodding your head in agreement.

After repenting of one’s sins and accepting the Lord’s love and forgiveness, that is not the end, not even close. Christians do not get to just sit back and relax, and as The Eagles sang, take it easy. No, Christians, get a job, an all-important assignment.

Christians are called to become fishers of men. We are to go out into the world and spread the good news, share the Gospel with others. We’re supposed to witness and tell others what Christ has done in our lives, and what He is capable of doing in their lives, too.

However, that is a task that is easier said than done. It can be challenging to bring Christ without knowing how someone will react. In a clip posted on YouTube, one man took an unexpected and extremely hilarious approach to sharing the message of Jesus Christ. He was in a Starbucks drive-thru when he deployed his unique and humorous method.

When it was time to pay for his items, he held out his Bible, claiming that he had “Bible Pay.” The Starbucks employee didn’t seem phased by the customer’s odd payment method and took it in stride.

“You know what, you know, I shouldn’t have doubted you,” the woman said while applauding the customer’s efforts to use “Bible Pay.”

“You know what?” the man responds. “It’s not about doubting me, things you never doubt God. You know why? ‘Cause Jesus paid it all!”

Near the end of the clip, the employee said that she went and told her fellow employees about his ways. The customer, of course, had a quick and witty response.

“It’s not my way, it’s Yahweh!” he said.

Matthew 4:19 “And he said to them, ‘Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.’”
