A newborn baby rescued from a storm drain is recovering at a hospital in South Africa. It was a heartbreaking moment passerbys in Durban, South Africa heard a baby’s cries coming from a storm drain. That’s when one of the strangers climbed into the drain and saw the newborn baby girl. First responders were quickly called to the scene to assist with her removal which involved breaking into the drain with a hammer and chisel. This miraculous video shows the baby girl being removed from the storm drain and carried to safety. She was immediately rushed to the hospital where doctors assessed her condition. The newborn still had her umbilical cord attached, so doctors estimate she was no more than three days old. And despite the traumatic conditions, the infant only sustained minor injuries. Authorities do not know who her parents are but an investigation is currently underway. Children are a gift from God and it’s so upsetting to know that someone would toss their baby in a storm drain, like a piece of trash. Thankfully, these bystanders stepped in and helped this newborn get to safety. We are praying for this sweet, innocent baby girl. Psalm 127: 3-5 “Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.”

It was a moment full of song and praise when these nuns dance to Queen’s iconic song ‘We Will Rock You.’ When these women of God all gathered around tables together, I thought it was just going to be a time of fellowship and conversation. I had no idea that they were going to let loose in the most incredible way. It all starts when someone turns on the stereo and Queen begins to play. A seated nun bangs on the table, in tune with the beat. Then, the camera pans to other women standing at the front of the room. They are dancing along to this unlikely tune and having a great time. More of the nuns start to clap along and sing the famous lyrics. But the biggest surprise of all was when one nun stepped into the middle of the room for the guitar solo. And she definitely nailed every single note. Normally, when we think of nuns, images of stoic women with somber looks on their faces come to mind. I definitely don’t think of ladies listening to rock music. But who says that women of God can’t have variety in their choice of music? It is obvious that they were having a blast during this entire song and so was I! What did you think of this rock number? Psalm 149:3-4 “3 Let them praise his name with dancing and make music to him with timbrel and harp. 4 For the LORD takes delight in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.”

It was a tearjerker captured on camera when this woman sings the classic hymn ‘Amazing Grace’ to dying husband. Just days before he passed away, Danielle Gibson beautifully sang the touching words to her husband, Tony, as he gazed at her from his hospital bed. “Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now am found T'was blind but now I see T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear And Grace, my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed” Tony battled Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a rare and incurable disorder that can cause dementia, limited mobility and memory issues. Danielle describes the heartbreaking disease as the human form of mad-cow disease. The condition came on quickly and, within a year, Tony was placed in an assisted living facility. Near the end, not much could calm him down. But during this special moment, Danielle started to sing ‘Amazing Grace’ and Tony could not take his eyes off of her. Danielle said that this was his favorite hymn. Sadly, Tony passed away just a few days after this video was taken, leaving behind his wife and four daughters. Danielle hopes that by sharing this video and Tony’s story, that more recognition will be placed on Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and finding a cure. We will continue to keep this family in our prayers as they weather this difficult storm. Revelation 21:4 “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

It was a terrifying moment when this man fell on the ice during a hockey game and had no pulse for 5 minutes. For Jib Street, hockey is a way of life. He has been playing the game since he was a child and showed no signs of stopping. But during a recent game in Pineville, North Carolina, Jib had a moment that changed his life. While skating around the rink, he suddenly dropped to the ground while suffering from cardiac arrest. He had no pulse for 5 minutes, but that’s when something miraculous happened. One of the other hockey players is an emergency room doctor and he rushed to Jib’s side. Dr. Craig Bryant started CPR on Jib and others skaters hurried to call an ambulance. Finally, they located an AED machine at the rink and the doctor used the device. Jib is extremely grateful for everyone’s help during his time of need, especially having a doctor on hand. “That's the miracle. I'm skating with an emergency room doctor. This is my guardian angel.” God definitely put Dr. Bryant in the right place at the right time. Now, Jib is out of the hospital and on the road to recovery. But this hockey fanatic wanted to thank the doctor in a special way, so he gave Dr. Bryant one of his most prized possessions. Just watch this sweet moment when Jib hands over a hockey jersey signed by the iconic athlete, Wayne Gretzky. What an incredible gift to express all that gratitude.

God has always been with you, is now and ever will be. Hear God’s Song to you.

Zephaniah 3:17-18 (TLB)

It was an incredible moment captured on camera when firefighters revived a dog from a house fire with CPR. There’s no doubt in my mind that when God placed animals on this Earth, He truly knew what He was doing. This is especially true for dogs, in particular. These furry friends that ultimately become our pets definitely hold a very special place in our hearts. They become a part of our family and it’s always a heartwarming relationship to witness. Dogs are known for being loyal and giving us unconditional love. In return, we are tasked with keeping them safe and provided for. And that’s exactly what the firefighters with the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District did recently. While battling a house fire, they rescued an unresponsive dog from one of the bedrooms. After removing the animal from the house, these firefighters administered oxygen and CPR to the poor pup. As they continued with compression after compression, I was starting to get nervous for the lifeless dog. But finally, he started to move and even tried to jump out of the first responder’s arms. This situation could have had a very different outcome but this fire department was equipped with the knowledge to save him. God bless these firefighters and their determination in a situation like this. Because of their quick-thinking skills and action, this pup was given a new chance at life. What an amazing moment all captured on camera. Who else was cheering when the firefighters got this furry fellow breathing again?

This legend in country music has been recording and touring for decades and there seems to be no end in sight. At 73 years old, Dolly has made a name for herself as a positive personality that never holds back. She’s been upfront about her upbringing, plastic surgery and loud outfits and hairstyles. Today, we’re learning even more about this megastar and it only makes us love her more. One of the most powerful moments of the interview is when Dolly shares about her early life and childhood in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Her family of 15 (12 kids plus Mom and Dad) may have been considered poor financially but not so in many other facets in life. Music was a bright light for Dolly and her mother always encouraged the budding artist. In fact, she wrote “In the Good Old Days” about her time growing up and shares a snippet of the powerful lyrics. “No amount of money could buy from me The memories that I have of then No amount of money could pay me To go back and live through it again” While times were tough, the family saw it through and now Dolly is thriving as the reigning queen of country music. Each step of the way, Dolly has had God by her side. Even when choices were tough, she put her faith in His guidance. “You make your choices. You make your sacrifices and I never look back. I knew early on that I was gonna walk that road until God told me to stop. And I’m still walking it and He ain’t said nothing to me about quitting yet.”

A 30-year-old mother brings her own parents to tears with an Adele cover on Ireland’s Got Talent. Julie McCabe is a stay-at-home mother to her young son. Before his birth, Julie used to sing all the time but the busy life of a toddler put her dreams on hold. Recently, her son was diagnosed with Autism and it hasn’t been easy. But this brave mother decided to put some positivity into her life and start to sing again. Now, she’s taking her talents all the way to the Ireland’s Got Talent stage for an incredible audition. Just listen as she belts out the words of ‘When We Were Young’ from acclaimed artist Adele. “Let me photograph you in this light In case it is the last time That we might be exactly like we were Before we realized We were sad of getting old It made us restless It was just like a movie It was just like a song” As Julie hit every single high note perfectly, the camera switched to her parents watching from backstage. They were in tears watching their daughter live out her dreams right in front of them. It’s never easy to sing a song from such a noteworthy voice, like Adele. But, Julie had no problem making their song her own and impressing the judges and audience along the way. It’s obvious that her family is so proud and they are supporting her each step of the way. I’m so glad that Julie will be moving on to the next round.

Two sisters get their prayers answered
THIS IS A MIRACLE! 🙌🏼

For the past few years my mother-in-law Deborah Booth Patteson and her sister Jeanne Booth Wright have talked to their mother Dorothy Booth, and on several occasions asked her (when it was her time to leave this world) send them a sign once she was in heaven, and they specifically asked that a cardinal would be involved. Aunt Jeanne also prayed that the Lord would do it in such a way that they would never have thought of. Well, on January 9th she went on to be with the Lord at age 97, and God answered that prayer January 20th, (the day after grandmas memorial service, and hours after they had been talking about that very prayer) while they were playing grandmas favorite card game, “Canasta”!!!

They heard something at the kitchen window and my father-in-law Brian went out to check. A cardinal was sitting there and he was able to bring it inside. For 10 min they held and pet it, then they decided to go outside to release it. Following is a short video clip of this amazing experience and what happens next! (The bird flew away 10 min later) You must watch!!
Our God is so faithful! 😭❤️🙌🏼

During the first round, Susan earned judge Mel B’s golden buzzer with her performance of “Wild Horses.” Now, she’s back for another stunning song and her voice is even better than the first time. After the song was over, Simon could not hold back his praises saying, “I have goosebumps on my goosebumps.” He actually remembered the day Susan originally performed ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ when he judged her by her outward appearance before hearing her sing. “I can remember vividly how disgusting I was on the day before you sang. And then, what you did and what happened afterwards…It has been an amazing night. Seriously, it was fantastic. You’re a champion.” This performance on America’s Got Talent: The Champions is going to be hard to top. Who is rooting for Susan Boyle to win the entire competition?

When this police officer made his final radio call, he wasn’t expecting to hear his son’s voice on the other end. Arkansas Highway Police Corporal Roy Martin has been a part of the police force for 31 years. After bravely serving the citizens of Arkansas each day, it is time for Cpl. Martin to retire. When a police officer ends their shift, they are required to radio in to dispatch the time and their status. When someone retires, they make one final radio call and it is almost always an emotional moment. And that is especially true for Cpl. Martin. His son, Corporal Billy Martin, is a part of the Arkansas State Police. When Billy heard that his father was making his final call, he knew he wanted to be a part of it. This touching video showcases the moment that Cpl. Martin sits in his police cruiser and picks up the radio for the last time. Just look at the surprise on this father’s face as he hears his son on the other line. He was so overcome with emotion that he could barely hold back the tears to respond. There’s no doubt that this officer will truly be missed and he meant a great deal to the department and his family. It's never easy to see a co-worker move on, but Cpl. Martin can rest easy knowing that he did a job well done. We all thank you for your service over the years and hope you enjoy your retirement.
