Heartwarming

A sweet bond exists between a group of high school runners and a woman nicknamed the "popsicle lady." It's an unexpected connection, but one that is sure to bring a tear or two to your eye. Watch the short but tear-jerking video to hear why the connection between the runners and the woman is so special.

Although most people do not consider exercising particularly enjoyable, getting a certain amount of activity daily remains necessary for everyone. Even avid runners don't actually love running; they enjoy the feeling that comes after the run: the endorphins and sense of accomplishment.

Nevertheless, people still run all the time. There are entire sports where all the participants do is run, such as track and field events and cross country. Sadly, unlike other sports, the athletes in those sports do not get nearly as much fanfare as basketball, baseball or football. However, in a clip posted on YouTube, one woman shows a group of young runners appreciation and attention for their efforts in a unique and sweet way.

While training, a group of high school cross-country runners in Minnesota has a favorite route. It's the one that takes them by Sandy Bass's house, or the popsicle lady, as the young runners call her. That's because she treats all of them to a delicious frozen treat every time they come by her house. As the video points out, this has been happening for over a decade.

The kids absolutely love stopping by Sandy's house for a momentary break from a long run. For Sandy, it's about much more than handing out popsicles to youngsters. Sadly, Sandy's husband, Tim, died in April.

"When the kids started coming and ringing the doorbell and gave me a reason to get dressed, maybe some days," she said. "You'll probably get me crying now. It's everything."

What a beautiful story about a woman showing kindness to others, but who says she is getting much more in return.

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 teacher’s selfless act for her coworker’s family will restore your faith in humanity. The educator’s love and kindness literally saved a life. Watch the short but powerful clip to see what the teacher did that saved a life because it will restore your faith in humanity, at least momentarily, anyway.

How far are you willing to go to help someone else? Many people would like to believe they’d go to extraordinary lengths to assist another person if they were in a position to do so. But is that true? Again, we’d like to think it was, but then we’d immediately start thinking about how much it would cost us to help another person. What would I lose or have to give up?

Of course, it’s human nature to be concerned about self-preservation. We want to make sure that we’ll be OK and have enough; after that, if we still feel comfortable, we’ll lend our assistance. But is that how Christians are supposed to help and act?

In a clip posted on YouTube, a woman, an elementary teacher, had a coworker whose husband was badly needing a kidney.  Without that transplant, he was not going to survive, and the couple’s two young children would grow up without ever knowing their father.

Understanding the family’s precarious situation, Lillian Johnston went and got tested to see if she was a match, and as it turned out, she was a perfect match. So, Lillian agreed to go under the knife and donated one of her kidneys to Allie Szcecinski’s husband, Brad.

“About 11 years ago, I was in a situation where I almost lost my life,” Lillian said. “And I remember thinking about my kids growing up without mom, and so that’s where my mind went.”

Lillian added that she was never scared but was actually excited.

To make the entire story even more unbelievable, the hospital where the transplant took place is on the cutting edge. Brad, who received the kidney, was not put under during the procedure. And the entire surgery didn’t even take an hour.

Philippians 2:3 “Doing nothing through envy or through pride, but with low thoughts of self, let everyone take others to be better than himself.”

A couple’s unique love story begins with a childhood bedroom rental. A man and a woman who eventually got married have one of the strangest and sweetest beginnings to their love story. Watch the short but sweet clip to hear how a relationship that resulted in marriage all started when she rented the man’s childhood bedroom.

No one wants to go through life alone. That would be a lonely and miserable existence. Marriage is the building block, the foundation, of society. That institution is a perfect environment to raise children.  A marriage relationship also meets and satisfies our desire for connection and relationship with others. Marriage, while like anything else worthwhile, is difficult and requires a lot of time, work and effort, but it is very much worth it.

Thanks to technological advances, there are many more ways to meet people today than five or ten years ago. However, the best way to meet someone is still in person, without a screen. A clip posted on YouTube explains how one man met his eventual wife after she agreed to rent his childhood bedroom in the house where his parents still live.

Little did Carisa know that when she found a place to stay on Furnished Finder, she was renting a bedroom from her future in-laws. It was her future husband’s room. As the two tell it, they first met when Andrew arrived to help Carisa move into her room, his former room. But they both admit, it wasn’t love at first sight.

Then something odd happened, which started these two down the path to marriage. Andrew and Carisa both had tickets to see John Foreman, the lead singer of the band Switchfoot. They were both going by themselves.

Knowing they were both going to the same concert alone, they shared a ride to the show. That night, the two of them stayed up into the wee hours of the morning talking. Two years later, Andrew and Carisa were saying, “I do,” at their Star Wars-themed wedding.

Love is a strange thing at times, and you never know where you may find it.

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

Strangers united to give a homeless woman and her pup a place to call home. Many people worked together to give this woman, who was previously living on the streets, a place to stay. Watch the short but heartwarming video to learn how and why strangers decided to help this woman and her dog.

No one’s life is perfect, as everyone has their fair share of problems and issues. However, if we were to take a step back and look at our lives and our situation from the outside, we would likely quickly conclude that we are incredibly blessed. Everything may not be exactly as we’d like, but we are blessed and fortunate.

Sadly, many people in this world are really hurting and struggling. Getting through the day may be a big win for someone scratching and crawling simply to survive. There are people who, for one reason or another, don’t have a warm or safe place to lay their head at night. A clip posted on YouTube tells of a woman and her dog who did not have that, and how hundreds of people came through in a big way to help them.

Velvet Berlin and her 15-year-old dog, Sissy, had been living on the streets for months. The clip mentions that Velvet had attempted to go to a shelter for warmth and a place to sleep, but those efforts were unsuccessful. They refused to take her in because of her dog.

“I can’t rid of her,” Velvet said. “She’ll die of a broken heart and abandonment.”

That’s when hundreds of people stepped in to help Velvet and Sissy. A business owner started a fundraiser to raise funds for the two. The donations began quickly rolling into the fund. More than 1,500 donations have been made, totaling more than $64,000.

Because of the love and generosity of others, the two now have a home, which Velvet is renting.
What a remarkable story about how people, when working together, can make a big difference in someone’s life.

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

A pilot got emotional while making a heartfelt announcement on his final flight. The longtime pilot got choked up when he told the crew and the passengers on board that this was a special flight for him. Watch the short but tear-jerking video to see the pilot’s reaction as he attempts to inform everyone on board that this flight was his last time piloting a plane.

Retirement is a goal for nearly everyone. Few, if any, people want to work at a 9-5 job right up until their dying breath. That’s not a way any human being should have to live. We’re made for so much more than work. Yes, making a living and providing for one’s family is essential, but if that’s all we’re doing, we’ll miss out on a lot of joy and happiness in life.

While many look forward to their golden years and kicking back and relaxing, it can be bittersweet when that time finally arrives. It’s often an emotional experience for the person saying goodbye to something they’ve done for decades. In a clip posted on YouTube, a pilot got choked when he told those on board that this was his last flight. He was retiring after the plane landed at its destination.

Seconds after he comes over the plane’s loudspeaker, it’s clear that this will be a difficult, nearly impossible announcement for him to make. He mentions that he began his piloting career in 1976 with the Air Force and states the number of flights he’s piloted and the time he’s spent in the air as a pilot.

However, in addition to this being his last flight, the pilot adds that this flight is special for another important reason. Several members of his family are on board, riding along for his last piloted flight.

What a beautiful, tear-jerking moment!

Colossians 3:23 “Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;”

A woman shocked her friend by revealing her incredible singing voice. The one young lady could not believe her buddy had the ability to sing like this. Watch the short but hilarious clip to listen to the woman’s beautiful voice and see how her friend reacts when her buddy belts out the lyrics.

Everyone wants to be a singer, on stage with an utterly captivated audience watching their every move as they demonstrate their musical gifts. It’s because of that that shows like American Idol, The Voice and America’s Got Talent have been able to produce so many seasons over the years. There is no shortage of people who are hoping to impress the judges and studio audiences with their voices.

Most people will take every opportunity to impress others with their musical talent. Who knows what could happen if the right person hears them sing? It could completely and forever change their life. But what about the people who can sing but aren’t as concerned with showing off their talent to everybody? Yes, those people do exist, and a video posted on social media proves it.

The clip begins with the singer talking directly into the camera, letting everyone know what is about to happen.

“She doesn’t know I can sing,” the young woman says as she points to a second young woman sitting on a couch behind her.

The woman with the microphone starts her performance, and after belting out two or three notes, the woman on the couch is completely taken aback. The look on her face says it all. Her phone, which she was previously engrossed in, has lost all her attention.

Instead, the woman on the couch wants to know where this beautiful voice originated. It’s clear that she really had no idea that her friend could sing.

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

A bride-to-be received marriage advice from the most unexpected place. The woman had no idea so many people would be willing to offer her help with her impending marriage. Watch the short but powerful clip to see where and how this young woman received marriage advice.

Traveling is not particularly enjoyable, especially on a plane. The person who coined the phrase “It’s not the destination, it’s the journey” had apparently never flown internationally, where the flight is 10 to 11 hours. There is little to do on a flight. Typically, the best you can hope for is to get some shuteye or read a chapter or two while the person sitting beside you awkwardly tries several times to strike up a conversation.

Flying, while often the quickest, most efficient and, depending on the destination, the only way to travel, isn’t an experience anyone looks forward to with joy. We often just try to grin and bear it as we anxiously wait for the plane to land at our destination. However, a clip posted on social media shows one woman had a very different, unusual flying experience.

The video begins with a woman in her seat on a Southwest Airlines flight flipping through a stack of napkins. On those napkins are messages and advice from her fellow passengers on marriage. The text in the video explains that the woman was on her bachelorette trip when one of the flight attendants told the entire plane that she was about to tie the knot.

So, to help her out, the passengers jotted down what they thought the woman needed to know before saying, “I do.” What a sweet and thoughtful move from everyone involved. The bride-to-be also appreciated everyone’s kind gesture and words of wisdom.

In the video’s text, the woman added that the flight attendant “made my bachelorette trip and you deserve a raise.”

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.”

A sweet young man brought a neighbor’s pup home after the animal got loose. The little guy did what he could to help his neighbor out by corralling and returning their dog after it had gotten out. Watch the short but heartwarming video of the toddler bringing back the dog to its home after it had gotten loose.

Animals are wonderful, fantastic creatures, and that is something that everyone can agree upon, right? Whatever your preference – dogs, cats, rabbits or, for some reason, snakes – animals make for some of the best friends you’ll ever hope to have in this life. They are loyal, love unconditionally and are always happy to see you, and it doesn’t matter if you’ve been gone five minutes or five months; their reaction is the same.

As great as animals are, they can also, at times, be a significant source of stress and anxiety. For instance, if that dog or cat were to get outside, particularly when they are primarily an indoor animal, your stress level will increase considerably. That new, unfamiliar environment, with all its new, unexplored sights, sounds and smells, will likely make corralling that escaped animal tough to nearly impossible. That’s why having helpful, caring neighbors in those situations is especially nice.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a young man, a toddler, is captured leading a dog up onto a porch. The little guy has corralled his neighbor’s pup after the animal had gotten loose. He was being a kind and caring neighbor, helping in what would have been a very stressful, anxiety-ridden situation.

The video continues with the little boy opening the front door and letting the dog back into the house, where it belongs. A woman off camera can be heard yelling her appreciation for the sweet toddler’s efforts.

“Thank you, Leo!” the woman says.

“Welcome,” the toddler responds as he leaves the porch.

Romans 12:18 “As far as it is possible for you, be at peace with all men.”

One woman had an emotional reaction to a stunning view in Colorado. She was enjoying a hike in the western state when she came across a sight that caused her to choke up and become emotional. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to see the view that caused her to react in such a way.

Technology has made our lives better and easier in various ways. Those advancements have improved communication, entertainment, medical care and even how we cook our food. Technology has also revolutionized how people work. People can now work remotely from anywhere in the country or the world.

However, like most things in life, there are also some negatives and a handful of downsides to those technological advancements. Arguably, the biggest and most noticeable one is that people have become addicted to their phones, tablets and nearly anything with a screen. Putting the phone down and leaving it alone for just an hour can and often does require a lot of willpower. Sadly, that can seem like a significant accomplishment.

Since we are so glued to our phones, with our heads down scrolling through Instagram or typing out a text message, we can miss the beauty right in front of our eyes. A clip posted on social media captures how one woman reacted when she encountered an absolutely stunning view while hiking in Colorado.

“Wow! Gosh dang it. Dude, dude! Oh, man! Oh, man!” the woman says, amazed as her eyes start to well up with tears.

She then flips her phone around and shows everyone the view that has gotten her so emotional and overwhelmed. It is gorgeous, simply a breathtaking sight of snow-capped mountains.

The Lord is an artist. He has filled the Earth with some truly remarkable works of art. Sadly, if we are constantly looking down at our phones, we’ll never bring our heads up long enough to appreciate all He has created for our enjoyment.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 “He has made everything beautiful in his time: also, he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.”

One woman’s powerful act of forgiveness will leave you amazed and in tears. She did what many people, if in her position, could not do, and it was so powerful and moving. Watch the short but tear-jerking video to see and hear about this woman’s act of forgiveness.

Life is not always a fair or even, very often, an easy experience. What other people do can significantly impact our lives. Sadly, when they make wrong decisions and choices, it’s usually not only them who feel those negative repercussions, but us as well. The results of those choices can be devastating and life-altering.

When someone has had too much to drink, but foolishly still decides to get behind the wheel, they are not only putting their life in danger but also everyone else they might encounter during their drunken escapade. This scenario is all too real for far too many people, and one that, for whatever reason, continues to happen. A clip posted on YouTube tells the story of one woman whose life was dramatically impacted by someone who decided to get behind the wheel when they were intoxicated. But what the woman did and the love she exhibited will absolutely amaze you.

Joseph Tillman, while under the influence of nitrous oxide, hit and killed Chuck Johnson, who was on an electric bike at the time of the deadly collision. Joseph would go on to plead guilty to all of the charges against him, but while being sentenced for the fatal crash, something amazing happened.

Regina Johnson hugged and forgave the young man responsible for her husband’s death. The clip states that Regina embraced him because the Lord told her “he needed a mom hug.”

It was during their embrace that Regina told the young man she forgave him for the crash that claimed her husband’s life and added that the Lord “loves him more than he knows.”  

Wow! What a powerful and moving demonstration of God’s love, mercy and grace to be able to hug and forgive someone whose actions ended her spouse’s life, forever changing hers.

Matthew 18:21-22 “Then Peter came and said to him, ‘Lord, what number of times may my brother do wrong against me, and I give him forgiveness? Till seven times?’ Jesus says to him, ‘I say not you, till seven times; but, till seventy-seven times.’”

An anchor had an emotional reaction to a meteorologist’s unexpected breaking news story. The woman cried tears of joy when she learned of her coworker’s fantastic news. Watch the short but sweet clip to see how the woman reacted to a breaking news story that completely surprised her.

The world is a lost and broken place, full of hurting and struggling people calling out for help and any sign of hope. The evidence for this brokenness is literally all around us—everywhere you look and go. Sin has done a number on this world, ruining and destroying everything it has ever touched.

While the brokenness is everywhere we look and go, arguably, it’s most easily seen on any and every television news broadcast. The top stories are always about a horrendous, violent crime or the latest scandal from a politician who has been placed in a position of trust. Oh, and also the weather. Crime, updates about corrupt politicians and the weather - that’s about everything the news is good for and can be counted on to provide.

A clip posted on YouTube shows how one television station used its time on air to broadcast some good news for a change. The meteorologist was giving her forecast, which looked uncomfortably warm for the foreseeable future. Her time on camera wasn’t over when she finished talking about the weather. She had one more forecast to give and prediction to make, about someone who would be arriving in several months.

About a minute into the clip, the meteorologist walks over to the anchor desk and announces she has a breaking news story. It’s not one about a murder or a lying, corrupt politician (Are there any other kind?). Instead, she says that she is going to be a mother!

The anchor is shocked and immediately becomes emotional, breaking down in tears at the excellent news. What a sweet moment and a terrific change of pace from what we typically get from the local news.

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

A dog helped to save its canine friend during a medical emergency. The animal sensed something was terribly wrong with its buddy and, amazingly, responded in a way you must see to believe. Watch the short but jaw-dropping clip to see what one animal did when its buddy had a seizure.

Animals are, without a doubt, some of the best creatures on the planet. Who could or would want to argue otherwise? I guess someone could take the other side of that topic, but they would be incredibly wrong. Animals are cute, cuddly and are some of the best friends you’ll ever hope to make.

Dogs especially occupy a special place in most people’s hearts. They are loyal to a fault, love unconditionally and are thrilled to see you when you walk through that door. They aren’t referred to as man’s best friend for nothing. But in addition to being great companions and furry, four-legged family members, dogs are incredibly smart beings. A clip posted on YouTube shows that one dog, a Boxer named Reggie, knew exactly what to do when its buddy, Yogi, a French bulldog, had a seizure.

Footage shows Reggie and Yogi in the living room doing what appears to be playing, possibly even wrestling, but that is not the case at all. Yogi, who has Epilepsy, has just undergone a seizure, is not moving and appears to be completely lifeless. Watching from the outside, it seems to be a tragic scene. However, Reggie instinctively knew what to do and began frantically rolling Yogi back and forth across the floor in a desperate attempt to get the dog moving once again.

“If it wasn’t for Reggie, you know, moving him all around and being here, I would have come home to, you know, him not being alive,” Sarah McCardle said.

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 child’s sweet advice for her mother will melt your heart. The young lady had some suggestions for what her mom could do to help her destress and calm down. Watch the short but sweet clip to hear the little lady’s adorable advice for her mother.

Everyone has work and family obligations that pull them in 100 different directions on a daily basis. Most people agree that there is not enough time in the day to complete everything. If only our days were extended an hour or two, right? Since that doesn’t appear to be a possibility, many people have become experts at multitasking.

Unfortunately, even the best multitaskers may not be able to complete all their tasks and meet every demand and obligation. Understandably, this can and does lead to stress and anxiety for many people. But even when the stress becomes overwhelming, it’s good to remember that the sun will come out tomorrow. The world will not end if we don’t get to this or that obligation. In a clip posted on YouTube, that was the message a child tried to get across to her mother.

The video begins with a mom carrying her 5-year-old daughter as they walk through the kitchen. As they come to a stop, it’s clear that Mom is stressed and worried about something, but the child has some sage advice for her.

“I just want you to breathe and be calm,” the little girl says. “Get your Kindle or, like, get a real book and, like, make some coffee and, like, bring it outside. And, like, calm down and chill, and we can hang out together.”

We don’t know what bothered Mom and had her on edge, but after hearing those sweet and loving words, she must have felt better instantly and at ease. That’s advice we’d all be better off remembering when our stress and anxiety levels increase and become worrisome.

1 Peter 5:7 “Putting all your troubles on him, for he takes care of you.”

A young business owner gave $1,000 to his church and thanked God for his success. This hardworking and entrepreneurial young man is thoroughly impressive, yet he remains humble and understands who is responsible for his success. Watch the short but powerful clip to learn about this young business owner and the tear-jerking thing he did to help out his church.

Everyone wants instant success, and with that highly desired, sought-after success, they hope a fair amount of money follows. Of course, that's not typically what happens. Most individuals don't simply wake up and are handed tons of cash. People who live in the real world understand that before success, a lot of hard work and dedication come first. That doesn't sound like much fun, right?

Children who learn and understand that hard work and dedication are necessary to achieve anything worthwhile will be much better off than their peers who have difficulty grasping this lesson. Parents who don't teach and show their youngsters this are only doing them a disservice. They will learn it one way or the other, eventually.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one young man, 12-year-old Quentin Hines Jr., knows all about hard work. He has his own business, which allows him to do something he absolutely loves: mowing lawns.

"I really, really love it," Quentin said. "I really love it."

The young man said his ultimate dream is to get a job mowing the lawn at one unexpected location.

"Ever since I was younger, I always wanted to get a contract with the Charlotte airport," he said. "And, like, sometimes when I go out there, they will have the mowers out there. So, I would like stand there for a while."

As the clip mentions, the young man's business is growing rapidly, and he's acquiring new customers at an impressive rate. But he's not keeping all his profits for himself. He gave $1,000 to his church to help it pay off its mortgage.

"When you put things into the world, it always finds a way to come back to you," he said.

Even with all of his success, the 12-year-old business owner understands who is ultimately responsible for it.

"It mostly feels like God really just opened a lot of opportunities for me," he said. "And He really just showed me that this is what He wants me to do on this Earth. I love it, and I will never stop, never."

Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;"

One man's unexpected heartwarming act after he heard someone's bike was stolen will bring you to tears and momentarily restore your faith in humanity. It was likely that no one saw what was about to happen. Watch the short but powerful clip to witness the man's unbelievable act of kindness and love.

Kindness is in very short supply today. Ask anyone, and they will likely fully and completely agree with that statement. Far too many people have this dog-eat-dog mentality, where they are only concerned about themselves and couldn’t care else about anyone else. This selfish, uncaring, cold-hearted thinking is on full display nearly everywhere – social media, television news broadcasts, the workplace and in government.

While examples of people acting in a cruel and uncaring manner are plentiful, some still go out of their way to show others kindness and love. Gentle, caring and considerate people still exist, but their efforts don't get nearly enough attention. A clip posted on YouTube shows how one man responded when he learned that another person's bike had recently been stolen.

The video shows the inside of a restaurant and points out that a man's bike was stolen while he was enjoying his breakfast. What kind of person steals a bike? You have to be a special kind of evil to take someone else's bike or to steal anything, for that matter.

Well, while the man in the restaurant was the victim of a theft, little did he know he was about to be the recipient of a heartwarming, unbelievably kind and loving gesture. The video mentions that when someone in the restaurant heard about the bike theft, he went out and purchased a bike for the man, replacing the one that was stolen.

The kind gesture obviously meant a lot to the individual. After being presented with the bike, he turns to the camera and is all smiles!

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."

Tears started flowing as the groom delivered an unforgettable wedding day surprise. His sweet and heartwarming move will likely have you brushing away a tear or two. Watch the short, but tear-jerking clip to see what the groom did and hear the reason for his touching gesture.

Weddings are significant, momentous and life-changing occasions for every couple. They are the opportunity to recognize and witness the formation of a family as two people vow to remain with one another regardless of what life may throw their way. What could be better than that?

Typically, weddings are a chance to celebrate the couple standing at the altar in front of family, friends and God, and rightfully so. We should be so honored to be able to share the bride and groom’s big day with them.  All we, as guests, ask for is a plate of food at the reception and the slightest bit of cake, and that’s it, I promise!

However, in one clip posted on YouTube, a groom, Zach, used the occasion to surprise his bride, Hallie, her parents and everyone in attendance. When it came time to recite his vows, he also used American Sign Language. Both of his bride’s parents are deaf, and he wanted to show them how much he loves and is committed to them as well. He wanted them to feel included, as he said, and signed his vows to their daughter.

The clip mentions that no one knew what Zach was about to do when it came time for him to say his vows. The young man attended night classes for four months before the wedding for that big, tear-jerking moment.

“The moment Zach started signing and saying his vows, I immediately started tearing up,” Hallie said. “The way he included my parents made it even more meaningful, and it reminded me why I chose him, and I’ll keep choosing him every day.”

But that wasn’t all.

After the ceremony, the video captures the moment Zach presents his in-laws with his ASL certificates at the reception.

What a powerful moment and a beautiful way to show someone how much they matter and are loved.

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

One dad invited the stepdad to join him in walking his daughter down the aisle. This sweet and completely unexpected move will have you brushing away tears from your eyes. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see the stepfather’s response and everyone else’s reaction.

Weddings are often incredibly emotional events, causing many to carry tissues just in case they spring a leak from their eyes. You may even get a little teary-eyed thinking about the last wedding you attended. It’s entirely understandable why people would become emotional during a wedding ceremony. It’s a big, life-changing event for the happy couple standing at the altar as they pledge their unending love to one another.

Nearly everything that’s involved in a wedding ceremony carries much significance and meaning with it. That’s likely part of the reason why planning a wedding typically requires several months. You want everything to be just right, with nothing out of place, which is entirely understandable.

Another great thing about weddings, as captured in a video posted on YouTube, is that they can bring people together. A bride was about to make her grand entrance, walk down the aisle and meet her future husband waiting at the altar. Everything was set to go, but the father of the bride had something he had to do first. He made his way up the aisle by himself, approached the bride’s stepfather, and asked him an important, and heartwarming question. He asks him to assist in walking his daughter down the aisle.

What a beautiful and classy move from the biological father. He did not have to do that, but he wanted the wedding to be about his daughter and her groom, not himself. That’s likely to be a memory the bride will remember for years.

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.”

A young man was spotted doing something truly unexpected and heartwarming. What the little guy did will have you brushing away tears from your eyes and restore your faith in humanity. Watch the short but oh so adorable clip to see the little boy’s precious move.

Generally, siblings do not get along well. At least while they are young children, siblings typically have a lot of animosity toward one another. Those little ones have the surprising (and incredibly annoying) ability to turn everything into a disagreement. Between siblings, the most minor, most insignificant thing can soon become a matter of life and death.

Those with two or more kids understand that anything and everything can become an annoyingly loud, ear-piercing disagreement. Take any situation, subject or object, and children can turn it into a shouting or shoving match. A lot of parenting, and many will also agree with this, involves acting as a referee, stepping into arguments and keeping them from one another.

So, any time siblings are halfway civil to one another, parents must cherish and hold onto those moments, those instances, especially when they are little, because they can be few and far between. A video posted on social media captures one of those precious moments between siblings. 

The clip starts with the little guy digging around in the kitchen. At first glance, it’s a bit unclear what he’s doing. Then, seconds later, it appears he’s making himself a bowl of cereal. 
However, the kitchen is not where he wants to enjoy his breakfast.

The camera is right behind the young man as he enters the hallway and unexpectedly ducks into a room. It turns out that the bowl of cereal was not for him at all. Instead, he made his baby sister, who is in her crib, breakfast in bed.

What an absolutely adorable moment!

1 John 4:20 “If a man says, ‘I have love for God,’ and has hate for his brother, his words are false: for how is the man who has no love for his brother whom he has seen, able to have love for God whom he has not seen?”
