A brave man heroically waded into icy water to rescue a freezing and frightened pup. The cold temperatures and the fast-moving water did not stop this man from saving a helpless animal from danger. Watch the video to see the man’s stunning rescue of the scared, furry, four-legged creature.

Animals are unique and precious beings who were put on Earth by God, the Creator of the universe. Like human beings, animals are part of His creation. So, sometimes, that can and does mean looking out for and protecting animals whenever they get themselves in precarious situations.

In a clip posted on social media, one man rescues an animal that had gotten itself in a terrible, frightening position. The short 47-second clip begins with the man, having already spotted the pup clinging to life on a piece of ice, as he approaches the edge of the water.

As he continues to get closer to the water, the snow eventually gives away, and he falls into the water. Instead of returning to land and safety, the man continues out into the water. As he does, he lets out several loud sighs, indicating that the water is beyond cold.

Despite the cold water, the hero in the video persists and reaches the scared pup struggling to keep its head above water. Once the man has secured the animal, he carries it to the other side of the water, where the canine immediately has a blanket wrapped around it.

In the video’s caption, the woman who posted the animal rescue was beyond grateful for the man’s heroic action.

“This man will forever be my Hero!” she writes. “Never told a stranger I love him so many times before. To some this may just be a man rescuing a dog, but to me, it’s a man rescuing an extension of my soul! The video of the incredible human who saved my girl!”

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

A woman credits having faith in God and being an obedient, faithful tither with her business’s miraculous turnaround. At one point, her business was in deep financial trouble, but things quickly changed, and the business began to prosper. Watch the video to hear this young woman’s story of how her faith in the Lord helped her business’s financial troubles.

Running a business is difficult, especially when it’s a small, family-owned business. The United States of America is the land of opportunity, where everyone has the chance to do as they please. That means people are free to open their own business.

However, competition can be and is fierce, depending on the market and the specific field. All businesses have to fight to survive. Sadly, many small businesses struggle and do not make it very long. Closing up shop for good was what one woman nearly had to do with her family-owned business, but things quickly turned around.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Nayomie talked about her father, the business he started and the terrific example of faith and trust in the Lord he set for her.

“I learned that he did everything through faith,” she said. “And I have seen that man pray endlessly, and the doors open.”

She added that her father showed her how important it is to be a faithful and obedient tither.

“Sometimes we didn’t have enough to pay the rent, but he’d rather tithe than pay the rent,” she said. “And you would miraculously see a busy day that would cover the rent and extra.”

Eventually, Nayomie took over the family business as the new owner and soon ran into trouble. COVID put a significant financial strain on the business, resulting in thousands of dollars in debt. She was unsure of the future and seriously considered shutting the business down.

But Nayomie stayed faithful and trusted in God. She prayed earnestly for His help and guidance and continued tithing even during this precarious period when money was scarce.

Then, God started to work, and the results were more than anything she could have imagined. She received a $10,000 grant for the business, and the business went viral on social media.

“You know, one moment, we’re, like, closing down,” she said. “The next moment, we’re going viral, and we have a line that is out the door and curls through the block. And our revenue went up by 80 percent.”

The young woman knows who and what is responsible for the business thriving.

“The key to my success is definitely our faith in God and our obedience to tithing,” she said. “I don’t think anything would be possible if we weren’t tithers and givers.”

Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will 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.”

Afraid of sharing your faith? God said … (251B)

A woman addicted to drugs, contemplating suicide and facing jail time finds hope and life in Jesus Christ. She shared her powerful testimony about Christ’s life-changing and life-giving love, forgiveness and grace. Watch this video to hear how Christ’s love and mercy saved and completely turned a woman’s life around.

The world is a lost, cruel and broken place that is inhabited by many hurt and struggling people. Those individuals are searching for something, anything, to make the heartache and pain cease. Sadly, for many people, the hurt and pain may get so bad that they see no other alternative than suicide, taking their own lives.

In a video posted on YouTube, Cristina Baker explains how she was in such a situation. She, who was trying to “numb and escape the pain” of her past, started using “every kind of drug I could,” she said. She continued using drugs, and then, one evening, she was pulled over by a police officer. Cristina had a large amount of drugs in her vehicle at the time of the traffic stop. She was arrested.

After posting bail and getting out of jail, this did not solve Cristina’s problem. She was still dealing with incredible pain and hurt from her past, so she made plans to take her own life. But God had other plans for Cristina.

"So, I’m sitting at my desk, and at the very moment I'm contemplating taking my life, this man taps me on the shoulder and says to me, ‘I have a word from the Lord for you,’” she said. “How could he have known what I was just contemplating in that moment?”

Cristina adds that this mysterious messenger starts reading from the book of Jeremiah, specifically Jeremiah 29:11. After reading that verse, which mentions God’s plans for our lives, to give us hope and a future, he asked her a critical question. Did she want to accept Christ as her personal Lord and Savior? She did and felt instantaneous relief and comfort.

“The boulders I had been carrying around for 20-plus years of my life, it was like somebody came and picked it up off of my shoulders,” she said. “The chains were broken instantly.”

Even though Cristina had turned her life over to Christ, going to jail was still a real possibility for her. However, God had another miracle in store.

After she spoke to the district attorney, Cristina’s lawyer received a yellow piece of paper. It was an order of dismissal. The charges had been dropped, and she was free to go.

“I was guilty,” she said. “Everything that happened that night I was guilty of, but yet He came in and wiped it clean and I walked as a free woman, and that’s what the cross has done for you and I. We, through the cross and the blood of Jesus and the power of His blood, have been forgiven of all our sins – past, present and future.”

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

One grandmother shared her surprising and uplifting outlook in the face of loss. Her words and thoughts are a dramatic change from what most people would say and think after they have just experienced such a massive loss. Watch the video to hear the woman’s words and outlook.

This world has been wrecked and ruined by sin. Because of what sin has brought about, we live in an utterly broken and lost place. Of course, this means we will face trials and difficulties. Life is not easy, and we were never promised that it would be. No one will be able to escape hardships. They have a way of finding everyone at one time or another.

While avoiding trying and adverse situations is impossible, how we respond to them is completely and entirely up to us. How we react and bounce back from unfortunate circumstances is arguably the most important part of the ordeal. Our attitude and actions in those difficulties can serve as a witness to others. People are always watching and will see if our attitudes and actions match our words.

In a clip posted on social media, a woman who had just lost everything in a wildfire had quite an unexpected reaction. Instead of being down and broken up about what she had lost, which would have been completely understandable, she expressed different thoughts and had a different perspective.

“Oh, I’m going to be changing my life and simplifying it because I don’t need all this stuff,” she said. “I know it’s not important, and so, I’m going to think about what I buy, what I eat; everything will be thought out.”

Later in the clip, she mentioned that while this doesn’t mean she will stop having fun in life. However, she will start thinking a lot more about her purchases and whether she needs that item.

The video’s caption mentions that the elderly woman lost her house and two rental properties, which were her source of income, in the California wildfires.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 “In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

A pastor shared how God used his weakness to bless and help someone in need. His personal experience demonstrates the power of God and how His strength shines through our weaknesses. Watch the short but moving clip about how even weakness is a strength when God is involved.

As the saying goes, knowledge is power. Thanks to Google, we can look up any fact, figure or question in seconds and get the answer. The ability and potential to learn and acquire knowledge on basically any topic imaginable are all around us.

However, no matter how much time we spend on Google, we’ll never have all the answers. Human beings are limited in what they can do and do not and will never know everything. This is also true for pastors.

In a clip posted on YouTube, pastor Andrew Greer shares that he felt out of place in particular conversations early in his ministry. He mentions one particular conversation for which he spent so much time preparing, hoping to provide this man with the correct answers.

When the moment arrived, most of the pastor’s preparation went out of the window. He did not have answers or solutions to what the man was dealing with or going through at the time. Instead of offering advice and solutions, he spent most of the conversation just listening.

But then something happened.

“He told me afterward what he was most grateful for,” the pastor recalled. “He told me, ‘Dude, thanks so much for listening. You just let me talk.’ He goes, ‘Most people want to give me answers. They just want to, like, kind of fix it.’ He’s like, ‘It was really nice to just be able to talk.’”

It was a powerful example of what God is capable of, even in our weakness. He can use our weakness as a strength to bring glory to His name.

2 Corinthians 12:9 “And he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble.’ Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.”

Jesus said not to be afraid of death. Do you really believe it? (252B)

One man recreated a memorable scene from “The Wedding Singer,” making for an adorable proposal to his girlfriend. This is a moment that the happy, newly engaged couple and everyone else on the plane will remember for a long time. Watch the short video to see how the young man made the scene from the beloved movie come to life.

Comedian and actor Adam Sandler has starred in and produced films for decades. While he has ventured into dramatic roles occasionally, he is most known for his comedic films, many of which are now beloved. His comedic films include such titles as “The Waterboy,” “Billy Madison,” “Happy Gilmore” and “Big Daddy,” just to name a few.

In addition to those movies, “The Wedding Singer” is a film that even the most casual Adam Sandler fan seems to love. Set in the 1980s, Adam plays Robbie, a wedding singer who slowly falls in love with Julia, played by Drew Barrymore. Eventually, after a lot of will-they-or-won’t-they, Robbie surprises Julia with a sweet proposal on a plane, which includes him guitar playing as he sings a hilarious tune.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one man surprised his girlfriend on their flight to Mexico with a marriage proposal, doing it exactly as Adam Sandler did in “The Wedding Singer.”

The video begins with the young man, Sam, on the plane’s intercom. He makes a heartwarming statement about his girlfriend, and then minutes later, he’s walking down the aisle singing and strumming on a fake guitar. His sweet and delightful performance ended with the proposal, to which Lissy said, “Yes.”

In an interview, Sam mentioned that he practiced playing the song on the guitar for months before popping the big question. But all that hard work on the guitar didn’t exactly pay off, according to Sam.

“I learned how to play it on guitar at first, which ended up being a totally useless because you can’t sneak a guitar on a plane without your girlfriend noticing,” he said.

Proverbs 18:22 “Whoever gets a wife gets a good thing, and has the approval of the Lord.”

Are we really supposed to believe ALL of the stuff Jesus has said? (253B)

A kindhearted and loving couple welcomed a blind dog into their home. One of them was initially worried and a little resistant to adding the animal to their household but was quickly won over. Check out this sweet and heartwarming video about one couple adding a blind canine to their home.

Animals are, without a doubt, some of the best things about our planet. Every pet owner – past and present – will wholeheartedly agree. They are some of Earth's most loving, dependable and loyal creatures. Treat an animal right and show them even the smallest amount of love, care and attention, and you’ve likely got yourself a friend for life.

However, when selecting and adding a four-legged, furry family member, most people have a particular image or idea in their head. Often, this does not include an animal with a physical disability. Sadly, this means those cats and dogs who do have physical disabilities are usually left behind and struggle to find homes.

That was the case for Bear, a blind puppy from a litter of seven. The other six were adopted, except for Bear, until one couple decided to take him in and add them to their home. The woman, Angie, narrating the video, confesses that, at first, her fiancé, now husband, wasn’t in favor of adopting the animal. However, Bear and the man quickly bonded and are now inseparable.

Angie mentions that many people questioned her decision to adopt a blind puppy but says that it has all worked out, and Bear has added so much joy, happiness and laughter to their home.

So, how does a blind dog get around the house without injuring itself? Angie admits that she also had these same fears but she soon learned that Bear is much like any other dog.

“But honestly, we both looked at each other after a couple days, and we’re, like, ‘This is no different than a normal puppy,’” she said. It was really, really easy to get used to him. He’ll bump into stuff once or twice, and then he knows it’s there. His other senses are so strong.”

What a beautiful example of unconditional love!

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 couple has opened their hearts and home to five children with Down syndrome. One by one, the woman recalls the events that led to her and her husband adopting each of the five boys. Watch the video to hear about how this woman truly has a heart for those born with disabilities.

Every child needs and deserves a happy and loving home where they feel safe and secure. Sadly, there are a lot of children who do not have a caring, supportive home environment. Some are abused and neglected, which can and often does leave their physical and emotional scars.

It's because some children are in situations where abuse and neglect are the norm that foster care and adoption are so important and necessary. Children can get a chance, an opportunity to find the loving, caring and supportive home they so greatly deserve. A clip posted on YouTube tells of a woman and her husband who have provided that for five young men with Down syndrome, as they have adopted them into their family.

In the video, the woman reveals doctors told her something about her unborn baby that would have made a lot of people sad and depressed. Instead, this mom-to-be was over the moon.

“But while I was pregnant with Cody, I was told he had Down syndrome,” she said. “Like, I was super excited, like, overjoyed. And then we went and got the sonogram, and they said, ‘Oh, he doesn’t have Down syndrome’ and stuff like that. So, that’s where it kind of started.”

Later, while on the internet, her family came across Joey, a child up for adoption who has Down syndrome.

“And I thought, ‘Well, what the heck?’ Because I’ve always wanted to adopt a child with Down syndrome,” she said.

After Joey officially became part of their family, Tracee, Anthony, Cameron and Julian soon followed, becoming members of this loving family.

“Everyone’s like, ‘Oh, they’re so blessed to have you,’” she said. “But I think we’re the ones that are blessed because they teach so much compassion, and people are like, ‘blah, blah, blah.’ 
But it’s true, they do. They don’t judge people, you know? Like, we have a house full of love.”

Later in the clip, the woman reveals that her love for people with disabilities started when she was younger.

“You met Marybeth. Well, she’s sleeping,” the woman said. “So, I grew up with Marybeth. My mom had a group home with six ladies. So, that’s where my love started. So, I have a love for people with disabilities and elderly people. I love to listen to their stories.”
The woman also mentions that her family will be sent mean and nasty messages through social media. But by responding to each hateful message with love and kindness, she has been able to change hearts and minds.

As the end of the clip states, this unbelievable story is part of a movie called “Made with Love.”

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

Live by “faith?” Seriously! (254B)

One man traded his golden years for parenthood in a beautiful adoption story. Emilio initially thought his time parenting small children was over, but he made a surprising and heartwarming decision. Check out the short but sweet video of how Emilio became the adoptive father of a 3-year-old girl.

All children deserve loving and caring homes. They want to be somewhere where they feel safe, secure and have peace of mind. Sadly, though, many children do not have this, having been born into less-than-ideal situations and circumstances. Many children have never experienced love, safety, security and peace.

Foster care and adoption are of the utmost importance, offering children a chance, some hope and a future. Emilio, a retiree and father of three grown children who recently moved to Florida to enjoy his golden years, completely changed course and is now the adoptive father of Kiana, an adorable little girl.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Emilio admits that Kiana was only supposed to be with him for a month. However, things quickly changed.

“Yeah, I can’t imagine giving her back at this point,” Emilio said.

Kiana is over the moon about being adopted and having Emilio as her father.

“When I first got adopted, it was so amazing,” she said. “It’s like, really, I love him so much, like so much, like so much, like so very much.”

While choking up, Emilio explains that in the time Kiana has been with him, he has seen a dramatic change in her personality and demeanor.

“And I’m about to tear up because,” Emilio said before Kiana interrupted him.

“I was like so scared and shy,” Kiana says

“She was, you know, in a really bad space,” he said.

Emilio could have sat back, taken things easy, and enjoyed his retirement. But instead of doing that, he is giving a young woman a much-needed safe and happy home full of love and happiness.

Matthew 9:37 “Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few.’”

A loving and selfless daycare worker gave part of her liver to one of her former students. The woman stepped up in a big way and helped to provide a 5-year-old young man with a second chance. Check out this unbelievably touching and moving story about kindness and love.

Educators are a special and influential group of people. They are in vital, crucial positions. Every single day, they touch and influence young lives. What they say and do in the classroom will impact generations to come.

Yes, teachers are there to impart knowledge on subjects such as reading, geography, history and mathematics. But in addition to the facts and figures they share with the youngsters in their class, they are also in a position to demonstrate love and kindness to those little ones.

Teachers regularly give of their time and talent to help their students. A clip posted on YouTube tells of a daycare worker who literally gave of herself to save a former student of hers.

Ezra, a sweet young man who, because of complications at birth, needed a liver transplant. To try and find a living donor for her adopted son, Ezra’s mother turned to social media. She posted a message on Facebook informing everyone about the massive need.

Carissa Fisher, Ezra’s former daycare teacher, saw the social media post and got to work trying to determine if she was a match. As the clip mentions, she was a perfect match. Soon enough, both went under the knife, with Carissa giving 5-year-old Ezra a part of her liver.

Carissa said the decision to give a part of her liver to the youngster wasn’t a hard one to make.

“I guess, for me, it wasn’t really a decision,” she said. “It was something I kind of knew I was going to do. I mean, how could you say ‘No’ to them?”

What an unbelievable act of love.

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

“Wheel of Fortune” assisted with an adorable and heartwarming marriage proposal. The popular, long-running game show helped one young man propose to the love of his life. Check out the short video to see the special moment made possible by one of the most popular game shows of all time.

Marriage is a big, life-changing commitment. Nothing will be quite the same after getting married. The vows said and exchanged while standing at the altar in front of friends, family and God during a wedding ceremony are sacred and meant to be kept until death separates that couple.

However, before a couple can get to the altar and say, “I do,” one huge, important question must be asked first. Of course, the man must propose marriage to the young lady. Her answer then sets in motion events that result in the wedding and everything that follows that big day.

How the man proposes is supposed to be unique and a story that the couple can share with their children and grandchildren for years to come. Everyone wants that moment to be something they will remember forever. A clip posted on social media shows that one couple will likely never forget their special moment. They got engaged on the “Wheel of Fortune” set.

In the video, Ryan Seacrest and Vanna White explained the situation. They mentioned that the boyfriend of a former contestant actually reached out to the show, asking if they would be willing to help him out with the proposal. The people behind the program were happy to lend a hand and also a puzzle.

In the video, the woman solves the fake puzzle, which was “Will You Marry Me?” After she solves the puzzle, her boyfriend walks out onto the stage, gets down on one knee, and asks the all-important question.

Of course, she said yes, and the happy couple celebrated with a kiss and a loving embrace. What a special and unique moment!

Genesis 2:24 “For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.”
