Beautiful, simple, and profound are the first words that come to mind as Loretta Lynn’s granddaughter and Willie Nelson’s son sing, ‘Lay Me Down.’ The duo sang ever so eloquently about the somber reality of passing from this side of heaven to the next. 

The song ‘Lay Me Down’ is a song penned like the words found in the Psalms that reflect on our own morality and how we will be at peace once we meet our heavenly father face to face. 

The song is told from the point of view of how rough and unfair the world is and how we don’t truly find peace until we are laid to rest. “When they lay me down someday, my soul will rise, then fly away. 

This old world will turn around. I’ll be at peace when they lay me down. This life isn’t fair, it seems. It’s filled with tears and broken dreams. There are no tears where I am bound, and I’ll be at peace when they lay me down,” is how the lyrics of the song goes. 

But what captures it so beautifully are the voices of Emmy Russell and Lukas Nelson. 

Lukas sounds so much like his grandfather Willie, and Emma exudes the spirit of her grandmother. Together the pair delivered a beautiful rendition their families would be proud of. 

Sadly, Lorretta Lynn passed away just a few weeks ago, and this performance is a stunning tribute to the “Coal Miner’s Daughter.” The torch has been passed on from one generation to the next of these musical families, and they honored the late and great Lorretta Lynn, who loved Christ more than life itself. The performance will absolutely bring tears to your eyes and call to the depths of your spirit that yearns to be with Jesus. 

“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.” Psalms 4:8

Watch this powerful moment when Dwayne Johnson tears up as writer Rob Delaney recounts the loss of his young son. 

If you’re born on planet earth, you will encounter love, loss, and pain. It’s a fact of life that we sometimes want to avoid. But if we did try to avoid it all–oh the things we would miss out on, especially as parents. We love our children so much that we spend our lives ensuring our sweet babes have everything they need. 

Both stars were recently guests on The One Show, where Rob Delaney shared the story of his precious, belated son Henry who had been diagnosed with cancer and had a tumor removed from the base of his brain just before his first birthday. 

The surgery had left his son physically disabled, but Rob said his son was still “...a funny and mischievous” little guy. After rounds of chemotherapy, they thought Henry would go on to live a full and healthy life. But then they learned his cancer had returned. Less than two years later, Henry passed on from this world into the arms of Jesus. 

Bewildered by the pain, Rob set out to write a book about the anger and rage he felt about losing his son but slowly, the book took on a new life as a way to share the grief parents go through from the loss of a child. As Rob continued to talk about the things bereaved parents need, he thanked Dwayne for being a man of action. 

Dwayne sent a tweet to Rob about the loss of his son, and it touched Rob’s heart because people often hesitate to say anything to grieving parents for fear of saying something wrong. At that moment, Dwayne wiped away tears sliding down his cheeks as he said the loss of Henry had hit home for him and his family because Dwayne’s whole world is his three precious daughters. 

Rob then added it had meant the world to him because Dwayne mentioned Henry’s name. Rob commented, “He said Henry’s name. After our son died, this really was (and still is) the greatest way to honor him. When people use his name, it gives him a place in this world forever.” 

The moment that passed between these two men is a bond shared between parents. We love our children and want the world for them. The idea of losing a child is unfathomable, and no one should bare the burden alone. Rob’s manifesto to life is, “A heart that hurts is a heart that works.” 

And it’s apparent both Dwayne and Rob’s hearts work in the way of our heavenly father. We weep with those who weep, and one day, we will all rejoice with those who rejoice in the presence of our mighty God–restored with those who have passed on to heaven before us. 

'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away,” Revelations 21:4.

Here’s a video from Australia’s Got Talent that’s bound to leave viewers in tears when a sweet 16-year-old contestant breaks down during her audition before returning to earn The Golden Buzzer. This one is a treasure!

Judge Kate Richie, sitting on the panel alongside Australian actor Shane Jacobson and Britain’s David Williams and Alesha Dixon, welcomes Breanna Lee and tells her to begin whenever she’s ready. 

Before doing so, though, Breanna looks to her left for encouragement from her two male supporters. They stand with host Ricki-Lee Coulter, one wearing a t-shirt with the words “Get Up, Stand Up, Show Up.”

Breanna sings Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colours.”  Breanna’s voice is angelic, and her eyes convey an understanding of the song on a deeper level. At 50 seconds, David closes his eyes and opens them as if attempting to absorb the music Breanna makes. The crowd loves Breanna, but the applause seems to disarm her, and she falters.

Breanna looks to her cheering section. The t-shirted man tells her to keep going, but she is now in tears and terrified. Alesha asks the orchestra to stop the music, and Kate and Ricki-Lee join Breanna on stage. The two comfort her, and the audience and David assure her that they’d like to hear more. Breanna calms and agrees to try again.

With renewed strength, Breanna sings the first two stanzas, and the crowd goes wild. Her voice is lovely and rich, her rendering authentic and real. At 3:05, though, there is another surprise. Breanna begins singing parts of the chorus in her native language! 

When the song is finished, the teary-eyed beauty from Melbourne seems not to understand how well she’s done—in spite of the rousing applause and the thumbs-ups from her fans. But the audience gets it. In fact, they exhort the judges to use The Golden Buzzer! 

David hears them and delivers exactly what they want at 4:35. Breanna has been fast-tracked to the semi-finals! Gold confetti rains down on this young woman, and she is overjoyed! Her family members smother her in hugs and loving accolades. Her smile is precious, and the moment is priceless!

Ms. Breanna is a student and lives with her foster family. They were the ones who encouraged her to sing her chosen song partially in her indigenous language. Here are four lines from “True Colours.”

In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

Motivated by a desire to show other First Nation kids and teens in foster care that they can reach their dreams, Breanna may very well be on the way to making all of hers come true!

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”” Joshua 1:9

This is an idea of creativity to share about being loving and kind. In this video, a teacher keeps an empty chair in his classroom to teach a valuable lesson.

At the start of this video, Kelly Clarkson shares that Dan Gill is a middle school teacher who has taught for over 52 years. Mr. Gill joins Kelly via video chat and thanks him for being a teacher and welcomes him. 

Dan begins to tell the story of how, when he was a boy, he was friends with a boy named Archie. The two of them were going to a birthday party of a friend in New York City, but when they got to the door, his mother said that Dan could come in, but Archie couldn’t. 

Dan questioned her why and she said that they have no more chairs. Dan pushed back at the age of 9 and said that he had been to their house many times and that they have a lot of chairs. He added that he would be happy to sit on the floor. 

The mother proceeded to say, “No, you can come in, but he cannot because there are no more chairs.” This broke Dan’s heart, and he felt terrible for his friend to be embarrassed and shamed in this way. He and Archie left and had tears in their eyes, and went back to his house.

Dan’s friend Archie was African American, and Dan was appalled at what his friend had experienced. 

Kelly asks if he tells his students that story. Dan says that he likes to use personal stories to teach history to young people to have a connection with history. He shares the opportunity that they have to come to a free school so they can make a difference and leaves one chair empty in his classroom as a reminder to have empathy.

The audience claps, and Kelly shares that they are grateful for who he is and what he does. They award him $1000 from the show. It is a special moment.

This is a great reminder that Jesus never kicked people out due to a “lack of chairs.” Jesus went to others and loved well and sat with people who were different from Him to share His gospel of love.

“When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, ‘Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners.’ On hearing this, Jesus said, ‘It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Matthew 9:11-13

Let The Holy Spirit Lead

Check out this stunning rendition of ‘Fur Elise’ performed by a talented guitar quartet.

The performance was recorded live at the Teatro Dal Verme in Milan, Italy. And the group putting on the amazing performance is called 40 Fingers.

“We are an acoustic guitar quartet with all of us coming from different musical backgrounds. Together we explore new sound galaxies in the name of fingerpicking combining it with our own style. We rearrange famous rock and pop songs,” reads the group’s bio on their YouTube page. “We share a passion for movies so we also enjoy arranging and playing some of our favorite films and TV series soundtracks. Live shows are our perfect dimension; we love to give you all our energies and emotions with no borders of languages and countries.”

This rendition of ‘Fur Elise’ by 40 Fingers is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Each guitar is played with perfect tone, and having the song played on acoustic guitars makes the composition feel even a little modern.

“I am never disappointed with 40 Fingers! Lovely rendition of this classic!! So beautiful!” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video.

“Well done you guys, you literally blow my mind with your music,” writes another person online.

The Bagatelle No. 25 in A Minor, WoO 59 (better known as Für Elise) has to be one of the most recognized tunes of classical music. And it is also one of the three most recognized melodies of Ludwig van Beethoven.

When Beethoven wrote this song on April 27, 1810, he called it a “bagatelle.” The term’s meaning is a trifle or a thing of little importance. In music, a bagatelle is a short, light piece of music, usually for the piano. But little did Beethoven know that this piece of music would become one of his most well-known works!

We hope that you enjoyed listening to this rendition of ‘Fur Elise’ today!

It has been years since James Lisi walked the streets of Manhattan, with a crack pipe in his pocket, in the middle of winter. Decades later he is still free from depression and anxiety. When he came to know the Truth–he found freedom.

Please join James as I shares his story.

As a miner’s daughter, I couldn’t be more proud to share this story as a dad covered in coal dust takes his son to his first basketball game. 

Covered in soot and grime and still in grungy work clothes, Micheal McGuire wasn’t going to miss three-year-old Easton’s first experience of a professional basketball game. He could have chosen to be late in order to clean up, but that absolutely wasn’t going to happen.

Michael didn’t care what he looked like, he only cared about being a part of one of Easton’s first big milestones. His wife was so proud of him that she snapped a photo. Neither one of them expected it to go viral, but it did catch the attention of Kentucky head coach John Calipari, who shared why that moment was special to him.

John said, “I appreciate it because it’s how my family got their start in this country.” He added, “The American Dream got its start in a coal mine in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Isn’t it neat to know that for a quiet, humble guy like that–that people appreciate you.” 

After John saw this photo, he told the family that he wants them to be their VIP guests at the next Kentucky Wildcats basketball game. John says the reason for this special moment is because “You’re bringing light to a good man, a hard-working Kentucky and a coal miner who does everything he can to make time for his family and his son.” 

The photo went viral, with others commenting that Micheal is a great dad and a true hero. I couldn’t agree more. As a man, husband, and father–providing for your family is a responsibility that rests heavily on a man’s shoulders. It's a burden, but it’s also a responsibility that brings joy–especially in memory-making moments like this. Way to go, Michael! You are truly a wonderful father!

2 Samuel 7:14 "I will be a father to him, and he'll be a son to me.”

Actor Jack Black sings a ‘School of Rock’ soundtrack song to a terminally ill fan. 

What happens next is absolutely precious. During a fundraising event for palliative and hospice care at the Layla Paige and Friends Walk for TrinityKids Care in California, Jack encounters a young man named Abraham, who is terminal from a rare disease called Pearson syndrome.

The tenacious and comical actor gets level with Abraham while his mother Veronica films the chance encounter after Jack learns Abraham is a huge School Of Rock fan. Abraham then tells the Tenacious D singer-guitarist that his favorite scene of the film is when Jack sings “In the End of Time” (The Legend of The Rent). 

Jack wastes no time and immediately jumps into character for an impromptu of the song–just for Abraham while holding his hand. 

He stops singing for just a moment to ask Abraham, “That’s the song, right?” As he jumps back into the song that includes a ‘guitar’ solo, Abraham smiles and sings right along with him. When the performance is over, Jack genuinely thanks Abraham for his love of the film and squeezes his hand. 

I can’t imagine a more precious, selfless moment than to bring joy into the life of another who is suffering. It’s a beautiful scene that unfolds between a man who loves to make people laugh and a child whose precious moments on earth are limited. 

Not only did Jack make Abraham’s day, but Jack also helped create precious moments his mother, Veronica, will treasure forever. 

Since the event, the video has gone viral, making rounds on the internet because it is just a personal and truly giving moment. Isn’t that one of the most beautiful things God has given us? 

The ability to be selfless and to connect with another human being in life. It doesn’t take much to show compassion, love, and kindness. It can be as simple as singing. 

Galatians 5:22 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.”

Walking this life sometimes requires surrendering pain, sorrow, and questions to God. And in some cases, it feels like it’s minute by minute. Other times it’s when grief and trauma hit like tidal waves. Steven Curits Chapman shares a powerful testimony with I Am Second. 

He came from humble beginnings, being born to teenage parents in Kentucky. But his father set a foundational example for Steve. Even though his family was what he called ‘a mess,’ Steve still remembers his father getting down on his knees to pray and ask God how to be a good husband and a good father. 

Steve learned to fall in love with Jesus and follow God at an early age. As he grew into his teen years, he was drawn to the guitar and had a record deal by the time he finished high school.

This would go on to open doors for Steve to be one of the most successful and well-known artists in Christian Music. His songs are laced with life experiences of pain, from tragedy to songs of worshiping God to songs about being a father. He said it’s akin to ripping out pages of his journal and turning these words into music.

He and his wife would go on to have three biological kids and three through adoption. At the peak of his career and seemingly at the peak of joy in his personal life, Steve treasured all the blessings that had been bestowed upon him. 

Tragically, through an accident at home, he lost his youngest daughter. 

The dark days afterward could’ve torn his family apart. It’s rare for a family, much less a marriage, to survive the loss of a child. As a self-proclaimed fixer, this was a situation he couldn’t fix, which led to a 14-year journey of grief and surrendering the ‘why’ questions daily to God. 

Yet, Steve’s advice is to take it all to God because God already knows you’re angry, He knows you’re grieving, and He knows you’re confused, but God reminds us to come to him–bring your burdens to him. 

God wants us to trust Him because God is still good. He is still faithful, and He can still be trusted. 

Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”

An 8-year-old Ukrainian Refugee earns the Golden Buzzer after an emotional dance audition. 

Zlata Komenko and her family fled to Spain as refugees from the war. It was recommended while she was there to enroll in a dance school, and her mother had managed to secure a scholarship. 

Because she had such a gift to express humanity through dance, her dance teacher Jose Antonio Checa helped her secure an audition on Got Talent Global. With tears threatening to fall, Zlata told the judges she was dedicating her dance to all the children of Ukraine and to the people of Ukraine. 

Her declaration made the judges tear up, and she hadn’t even begun to dance yet. Soon, she was dancing across the stage with poise, grace, and joy through ballet. It was utterly stunning and mesmerizing to watch. The audience and the judges were captivated by this precious little girl. 

When she came to the end of the performance, both the judges and the audience gave her a standing ovation. But the excitement didn’t end there, the crowd began to chant for the judges to award this tiny dancer with the Golden Buzzer. 

But then it happened, the judges one by one agreed, and suddenly gold was falling from the ceiling. 

One viewer wrote about how brave she was to be in a foreign country, “To be only 8 years old, living in a foreign country and speaking Spanish is one thing. But to dance so expressively and to speak so eloquently is totally off the charts. I love the Ukrainian people, the crimes that are being committed against them at this time, will never be forgotten. She is top drawer in my books.”

Another wrote how proud she should be, “Have no clue what was being said, but I also couldn't hold my tears back. What a beautiful, brave, and amazing little girl. She should be so proud of herself. Can't imagine what she is going through!! God bless her and all the Ukrainian people!” 

We may not understand what is being said, but we can see the turmoil and strength that lies in her heart. He’s given this sweet child a precious gift to express love, grace, hope, sorrow, and joy through the gift of dance. 

Ecclesiastes 3:4 “A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance.”

The bride and her nurse friends save a guest’s life after ‘widow maker’ heart attack during the reception. 

If you’re going to have a heart attack, the kind that generally takes your life, the best place to be is in the emergency room. But if that isn’t a possibility, the next best place to be is surrounded by experienced medical professionals. 

Micaela Johnson had just tied the knot with the love of her life. As an emergency room nurse, most of Micaela's co-workers had become close friends and had attended the wedding. While she was celebrating a monumental moment with her new husband and close friends, one of her guests suddenly collapsed on the dance floor. 

Micaela and her friends didn’t waste any time jumping into action. As they quickly assessed the situation, they gave this guest every bit of help he would need in order to survive what’s known as a ‘widow maker’ heart attack. 

It must have looked unusual that they were dressed to the nines instead of scrubs, but the team got to work with CPR and a defibrillator until more help could arrive. 

Some might call it luck that this man had been surrounded by an army of emergency nurses. I’d like to call it a blessing. 

God put this man in the right place at the right time to get the help he needed. Had he not been at Micaela’s  wedding, he likely would not have survived. It’s a good thing he RSVP’d and made it her joyous day. 

I love that it didn’t matter that it was this bride’s special day. She did what was created to do–help others. 

"In the same way, let your light shine before people, so they can see the good things you do and praise your Father who is in heaven,” Matthew 5:16.

Though this WestJet flight attendant was overcome with emotion while thanking her favorite teacher over the intercom, there is no doubt she touched her special teacher’s heart as well!

In this Inside Edition report, we meet Lora Caruso. Lora is a flight attendant who unexpectedly recognized her “favorite teacher ever” on the flight she was working on National Teacher’s Day. How about that for a coincidence?  

Lora warns guests that she’s going to get emotional during her announcement, and then she goes on to say that she has seen Miss O’Connell for the first time since 1990! She’s on the flight, and Lora simply has to publicly recognize her after all of these years!

Lora tells all of Miss O’Connell’s fellow travelers that Miss O’Connell was her English and music teacher in high school. Lora credits her teacher for helping her develop a love for Shakespeare and a desire to play the piano. Those alone are two pretty impressive accomplishments!

What’s more, is that Lora didn’t just learn to play the piano; she got a Master’s Degree in piano! Lora says that she can also write an essay, which, unfortunately, is not always mastered. But, Miss O’Connell’s positive impact on Lora may go well beyond what she instilled and gave to Lora.  

The video continues as Lora runs down the aisle of the aircraft to give Miss O’Connell a big hug. When Miss O’Connell tells Lora that she’s made her day, Lora tells her that she’s made her life! 

Near the end of the video, the Inside Edition reporter speaks to Lora about their touching reunion. Lora shares a yearbook photo of her beautiful, inside-and-out teacher, and then she says something interesting. 

Lora says, “she saved me from so much.” While that statement isn’t explained, it’s safe to assume that Miss O’Connell was a role model and a guiding force to Lora during those critical years!

Teaching is extraordinarily hard these days. It’s a shame we often don’t recognize the wonderful impact of teachers and educators until many years later, but how nice it would be to share that love and appreciation with present-day professionals—those making a difference in kids’ lives every day. 

Thank you, Miss O’Connell, for doing such a fine job, and thank you, Lora, for telling her so!

“Your love has given me great joy and encouragement because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the Lord’s people.” Philemon 1:7

As always, great humility and heart come through as she states, “I hope the Lord will continue to bless me” during Dolly Parton’s philanthropy award acceptance! By now, the world expects nothing else of “The Smokey Mountain Nightingale.”    

Dolly, along with five other individuals or non-profit agencies, was awarded the Carnegie Corporation’s Medal of Philanthropy in October 2022. The awards ceremony was held at Gotham Hall in New York, and in the video, Dolly talks primarily about her “Imagination Library,” but that is far from the extent of her giving. 

The Imagination Library Project, founded out of Dolly’s desire to instill the love of books and reading in children, provides one free book each month to every child under the age of five in participating communities. Partner communities in several countries share funding with Dolly Parton, and currently, IL distributes 2 million books every month!

Listen as Dolly takes the stage and leads the audience in an original song in tribute to books! Dressed in a black and gold suit, she jokes about nearly having to remove her hair, generously decorated with bling, to put on the medal that hangs around her neck from a wide red ribbon. Dolly says she is “honored” and “proud” to be among so many others who are trying to make the world better. 

Using her long, pink fingernails to create a rhythm, Dolly sings the song that tells how books grabbed her attention from the very start—hooked from the feel, smell, and look of ‘em! She invites the audience to sing along, but they need a couple of tries! We get a view of the elegant room and dressed-up guests as they join in. She jokes that they’re ready to sing “9 to 5.” Who can resist Dolly?

Dolly gets serious and tells the crowd, "I just give from my heart. I never know what I'm going to do or why I'm gonna do it. I just see a need, and if I can fill it, then I will." She commends the other recipients for their wonderful efforts and teases one of the hosts when she needs clarification on the pronunciation of “Carnegie.” She is just so wonderfully genuine and warm! 

Referencing her poor beginnings, Dolly says she’s pleased to be able to give and to do her part to help out. She thanks “the good Lord” for His blessings, and she gives Him praise. With a final thanks, Dolly bids goodnight!

What are the things that Dolly didn’t mention on stage? Dolly pays for band uniforms for many TN high schools. She purchased a Nashville strip mall to support the neighboring black community with royalties earned from Whitney Houston’s recording of Dolly’s hit, “ I Will Always Love You.” She’s raised large sums of money for disaster relief, and she gives each of her Dollywood employees a day off to do volunteer work at a nonprofit of their choice!  

It’s not just one giant thing that Ms. Parton does for her community and fans. It’s a million little and large ways in which she makes the world a better place. We thank you, Dolly!

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”” Luke 6:38
