Happy

One father reacted emotionally, unable to contain his joy and excitement about his daughter’s recent SAT scores.

All parents want their children to be happy and to succeed in whatever they choose to do in life. Sometimes that is not always the case, as moms and dads know very well. Children, at times, will fail, fall and stumble. It happens to everyone, and it’s especially painful to watch when it happens to your child.

It's because of those heartbreaking times when parents see their children unhappy or fail that makes their child’s wins that much more enjoyable. I guess it’s true, we wouldn’t know happiness or joy if not for sadness and grief. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, one was blown away after hearing that his daughter received a stunning score on the SAT. The happy family is sitting down at the table, enjoying a meal together when the young woman tells her father the good news.

This was the girl’s second attempt at the SAT. Her first try was higher than what a lot of people score on the standardized test. She mentions that this time, she did better than her original 1510 score.

When she finally tells her dad her 1590 score, he loses his mind, screaming and shouting at the top of his lungs. 

“No way! No way! Are you kidding me? You’re not kidding me?” the proud father responds.

Everyone in the room laughs at the father’s reaction to the unbelievably good news.

The clip ends with the father telling his daughter, “Congratulations seems like not enough. That’s amazing Alyssa.”

What a sweet and genuine reaction from an obviously loving and supportive father who wants nothing but the best for his daughter. 

Also, what child, even though they might be embarrassed at the time, wouldn’t want their parents to react this way to their good news?

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old he will not be turned away from it.”

Experience the power of faith and resilience in our latest video. Join us as we share a deeply personal story from our time as missionaries in East Africa. In a foreign land, faced with unfamiliar healthcare resources, Margaret fell seriously ill with pneumonia. As her condition worsened, we found ourselves at a loss for where to turn. With her health rapidly declining, I made a pivotal decision: to build an altar by her bedside and devote the entire night to fervent prayer. Throughout the night, Margaret's coughing echoed through the guest house, matched only by my cries to God for her healing. It was a night of intense spiritual warfare, where sleep eluded us all. But as dawn broke, hope emerged. We were able to secure medical assistance for Margaret, marking the beginning of a challenging journey home—a journey prolonged by her weakened state. This experience tested not only our faith but also our unwavering commitment to our calling. Join us as we recount this poignant moment of faith, resilience, and the unyielding power of prayer.

A grandmother and grandfather received an unexpected but deeply moving and tear-inducing surprise for Christmas when their adult grandchildren arrived at their house for a sleepover.

Most grandparents, over time, develop deep, committed relationships and bonds with their grandchildren. Hundreds of videos on social media show sweet grandchildren excitedly running to their grandmother or grandmother immediately after spotting them. But nearly all those videos involve tiny children and never adult grandchildren approaching their grandparents with unmitigated joy and happiness. 

One clip posted on social media shows seven adult cousins showing up unexpectedly at their grandparents' residence show on Christmas. It’s clear from the puzzled looks on their grandmother and grandfather’s faces that they are confused and unsure of what to make of their visitors' sudden appearance. 

With blankets, sleeping bags and other supplies in hand, the adult grandchildren proudly announce that they have arrived at their grandparents' house for a slumber party. 

“We came to have a sleepover,” one woman states as her grandmother opens the door.

“You came to have a sleepover?” the grandmother asks.

The grandmother, once she comprehends their intentions, is thrilled with their plans for the evening.

“Well, that’s great,” the grandmother says. “Are you serious?”

Later in the clip, someone asks her grandmother if she is bothered by her grandchildren’s sudden and unexpected appearance in her home.

“That’s the best Christmas present ever,” she enthusiastically answers.

Seconds later, the grandmother becomes overwhelmed with emotion. She is moved by her grandchildren’s sweet, moving and loving plans to spend the night with her. 

The grandmother buries her face in her hands and begins sobbing. Two of her granddaughters walk over and give her a loving embrace.

What a simple, but simple gesture that likely meant the world to those grandparents, especially, as the video shows, to the grandmother.

Who wouldn’t want such a sweet surprise? 

Proverbs 17:6 “Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children is their fathers.

Welcoming a new person into the world is always an emotional and joyous occasion, but one man had an additional reason to get choked up when he met his stepdaughter’s newborn for the first time.

Everyone loves babies, especially right after they are born. Family and friends will rush to the hospital, delivering gifts and checking up on the mother and father. Then, everyone waits their turn, holding and peering down at the newest bundle of joy and blessing from the good Lord.

John Roy Hennigan is the stepfather to Chloe. In a clip posted on YouTube, Chloe explains that John has been in her life before she was a teenager. She says that John raised her since she was 11 years old. 

Chloe, because John had played a massive role in her life, wanted to find a unique, sweet and caring way to honor him. She eventually landed on likely the most moving way to recognize John and show him how much he means to her. She named her child after him.

“We like to use family names, names that are sentimental for people that hold meaning in our lives,” Chloe said. “So, we wanted to do the same for our son. And Roy has raised me since I was 11, so I knew I wanted to use his name in one way or another.”

The video captures John holding the newborn tenderly and lovingly, gazing down at the young man. As he held the child in his arms, John said Chloe told him to do something odd.

“I’m holding him, and it’s just very special,” John said. “And then, I think Chloe said, ‘Look at his hat.” I saw “John Witt” and it was a very moving moment. I was already kind of emotionally stirred up, you might say, but it was a beautiful moment. I’m very honored to be quite frank with you.”

What a wonderful way to honor and show someone how much they mean to you!

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

A group of kind and caring students cheer on their classmate, “the fastest kid alive,” every day as he runs to his house after getting off the school bus. 

The world often feels like it’s running way too low on kindness and love. Unfortunately, people do possess the ability to inflict unspeakable evil on one another. But, then, some moments restore your faith in humanity. Even if they might be small, those unexpected acts of kindness and love can make a world of difference to someone who might desperately need it.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a handful of kindergarteners and a bus driver show kindness and love to a young man every day in a sweet way. 

The young man, who describes himself as “the fastest kid alive,” races home after getting off the school bus. But he doesn’t complete these full-on sprints without any fanfare. Instead, he has his own cheering section in the form of his classmates on the school bus.

As the young man safely sprints across the road to his home, the children chant, “Go, Xavier! Go, Xavier!”

Xavier’s mother says that due to the daily chant, she knows exactly when the bus has arrived.

“It’s an everyday thing,” she said. “They, they get on one side of the bus, and they scream Xavier’s name. “Go, Xavier, go!” That’s all we hear, and that’s how we know they outside.”

Xavier’s bus driver understands that he has an important role in a child’s life. He knows he has been placed in a position to spread some happiness and joy.

“You have the first chance to make them happy, and you’ve got the last chance to make them happy,” he said. “Because I’ll see them first and I’ll see them last. So, I always took that as a challenge to make sure I give them the environment, of course, safely, but to allow them just to express themselves and be kids.”

Proverbs 11:17 “The man who has mercy will be rewarded but the cruel man is the cause of trouble to himself.”

Angels come in all forms. Could this possibly be one?

Images of realistic animals that I took in the clouds. God is truly amazing!!

This video I took is spirts going to heaven. You can’t see it on the image, but my original you can see Jesus next to the man going to heaven. I know that it’s him because he’s wearing a crown….its truly amazing!!!

One father had a sweet and moving reaction after hearing that his son had been offered a college scholarship.

Parents want nothing more than for their children to be happy and healthy and to succeed in life. That’s why nothing causes a mother or a father more pain than to see their child going through hardships and trials. Moms and dads would do anything and everything in their power to alleviate their child’s pain. 

Similarly, nothing brings a parent greater joy than when their child succeeds. Parents want to see their children experience joy and happiness, no matter the occasion or situation. A clip posted on YouTube shows how much one father was overwhelmed, breaking down in tears after being informed that his son had been offered a scholarship to college.

The short but moving clip begins with a young man, wearing football gear, informing his dad, who leans against a chain-link fence, about the good news. He starts by telling his father he’s going to update his wardrobe.

“You might as well buy some TSU shirts to rep at the games,” the young man says.

However, his father does not immediately understand what his son is trying to tell him. The dad responds that he will continue wearing what he has because it has his son’s nickname.

The young man comes clean with his good news, telling his dad what he was trying to get at with his t-shirt suggestion.

“I know, but now you got a reason to rep TSU,” the son tells his father. “Because I’m on scholarship.”

Immediately after those words exit the young man’s mouth, the father reacts emotionally. He reaches over the fence and gives the young man a massive hug, picking him off the ground.

During the loving embrace, the father breaks down in tears, crying on the young man’s shoulder. 

It’s a sweet and tender moment that both will likely remember for the rest of their lives.

Psalm 103:13 “As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.”

A youngster went out of his way to express his thoughts and feelings about a delivery driver who helped corral the family’s dog.

As anyone knows, children do not have a filter. Unlike adults, whatever children are thinking or feeling at that moment is likely what they are going to say. For parents, a child’s inability to stop themselves from saying whatever they are thinking can make for some awkward, hilarious and even sweet interactions.

A video posted on social media shows how one toddler’s lack of filter created a touching and moving moment between him and a friendly, caring UPS driver. Frank, the UPS driver in the video, was out dropping packages off when he lent a helping hand to a family that needed it.

The family was running after their furry, four-legged friend who had gotten outside. Frank helped the family secure the dog and take it back to their house. The family, of course, appreciated Frank’s assistance in helping them catch their beloved canine.

But one little guy, 2-year-old Owen, went one sweet step further in expressing how he felt about Frank. In the video, Owen can be seen standing in the driveway as Frank heads back to his truck. Owen then expresses his gratitude.

“Thank you,” Owen tells Frank.

“You’re welcome,” Frank responds to the toddler.

But Owen was not done yet.

“I love you!” Owen states.

“Aww! I love you, too!” says Frank. “We need lots of love in the world, absolutely!”

Owen and his mother then approach Frank at his truck. Owen and Frank share a warm embrace.

Frank, the clip mentions, also told Owen that he is one of Santa’s helpers and would put in a good word for the young man. 

What a beautiful and moving moment between two strangers, but it all started with a single, unexpected act of kindness. 

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ has forgiveness for you.”
