13 strangers become travel pals after their flight was canceled. 

13 people had 13 different reasons to all board one flight from Orlando that was meant to arrive in Tennessee. But at the last minute, their flight was canceled. 

One passenger we learn is named Amy wasn’t going to take no for an answer, especially after learning another flight to their destination wasn’t for another 48 hours! She took charge of the group and suggested renting a van. Suddenly, all 13 strangers became 13 travel companions in the middle of the night! 

Another woman that said she was a keynote speaker at an event. Another young lady by the name of Michala was due for a student interview at the University of Tennessee while another young gal by the name of Alana took it upon herself to document the trip on her TikTok, and the group’s antics quickly went viral. 

With 650 miles to go, ‘each person was assigned a number instead of names so no one got left behind at rest stops.’ After ten hours in the van, these 13 strangers found success by joining together for their common goal. 

The best part is every person in their tribe made it to their destination with time to spare. 

Now that the trip is over, it doesn’t mean their friendship isn’t. Some of them plan to have another reunion soon. But even so, how often do we forget we are all sojourners on this earth–banded under the banner of Christ? 

May this incredible story about strangers be a reminder we all once were foreigners to Christ until we were adopted into his kingdom and we have a friend that sticks closer to us than a brother in Jesus.

“Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it,” Hebrews 13:1.

Mary and Justin Bourg may never be as frightened or grateful as when their golden retriever dog protected their two girls, who were missing in the woods for five hours!

Even a minute’s worry is too long for a mother who has lost her children. Still, Mary Bourg endured five agonizing hours of worrying, wondering, and waiting when her precious daughters disappeared while playing in their yard.

After showing the emotional family reunion, we get glimpses of Abigail and Cecilia with their best buddy Artemis—playing tug-of-war in their living room and chasing the pretty pooch in their backyard. 

But Mary describes, to Inside Edition’s interviewer, the terror she felt when she could not locate 7-year-old Abigail and 4-year-old Cecilia. 

The two had gotten lost after following Artemis into the woods near their home in Folsom, Louisiana, which is about an hour north and across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans.  

She shares how terrified she was, knowing that the sun was setting and it would soon be dark. The girls were discovered missing around 5:00 p.m. on November 29, 2022.  Mary posted a plea for help on Facebook and hoped the two, along with Artemis, had not been taken.

Justin tells the reporter that the girls stayed snuggled up next to Artemis in the woods, keeping warm and close during that time. Meanwhile, volunteer search crews, ATVs, drones, helicopters, and more were searching for the frightened girls. 

Finally, Mary and Justin got word that Abigail and Cecilia had been found! Justin says that he “collapsed” at the news! They soon learned that it was Artemis who helped searchers locate them. When he heard the sounds of people in the woods, Artemis barked and led the rescue team right to them. 

The little ladies and brave, protective Artemis were found about a mile away from their home; he had not left the girls for a moment. No doubt, Artemis will forever have a very special place in the Bourg family! 

Surely there is nothing Artemis will ever do to get in trouble with the family because he did the absolute best thing in the world when he watched after his girls! 

“For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;” Psalms 91:11

In early 2000, while helping as an Assistant Chaplin at Pelican Bay Prison in Crescent City, California, there were some prisoners that would raise their hands during the song service, there were some prisoners that said it was improper to raise your hands during the Chapel Service. One young man voiced his opinion that when you raise your hands while singing, the Fire will Come. When I heard this the thought entered my head, what a great idea for a song. I prayed about it and the Lord gave me the words to this song. The prisoners loved the song. I hope you enjoy it also.

A homeless widower carries an elderly woman’s groceries and gets a surprising blessing in return. 

We were meant to carry each other’s burdens–not just the weighty ones like cancer, death, or divorce. We were meant to carry all burdens. In this case, it was a heavy bag of groceries for an elderly woman who learned the homeless man named Alfred helping her didn’t want anything in return. 

She assumed he was asking because he wanted money. But Alfred has so overcome with compassion at the way this woman shuffled and struggled with her groceries that he knew she needed just a little help. But the woman felt awful because she couldn’t offer anything in return. When she said so, Alfred’s response surprised her. 

“You look like my mother, and I wouldn’t charge my mother for my help,” he said. 

Alfred followed the woman home and refused to come in for a cup of tea. As the old woman reflected on the man’s selfless act of kindness, she began to put away her groceries when she found something additional in her bag. 

A necklace with a wedding ring and locket was nestled in the bag alongside her groceries. She knew it was likely Alfred’s, and that it had probably fallen into the bag when he was helping her. What she could not have known, was that she now held the only keepsake Alfred possessed of his beloved belated wife. 

The woman went to the grocery store the next day in order to track down Alfred and give back such a valuable and sacred belonging. 

Through the help of the store owner, they were able to track down Alfred with security guards. What happened next was incredible. 

The old woman wrapped Alfred in a kind embrace and returned the jewelry to him. Because of his kindness and selfless act, the store owner then offered Alfred a job. They had been looking to employ the right person to help the elderly patrons of the store carry groceries for them. Isn’t that just incredible? 

We will never know what burdens another fellow human being carries. Yet, if we help each other carry burdens, a beautiful ripple effect of goodness overflows in so many unimaginable possibilities. 

This story has God’s fingerprints all over it. Only he could orchestrate something as simple as carrying a bag of groceries to help change a homeless man’s life. 

“Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ,” Galatians 6:2.

Devoted dad Ariel Eliyahu narrowly saves his daughter from a coyote attack. 

Normally Coyotes are fearful of people and try to avoid humans at all costs. But in this heart-stopping video, a brazen and opportunistic coyote attacks a two-year-old little girl in broad daylight. What the coyote mistook for an easy meal turned out to be more than he bargained for. 

In the video, you see Ariel getting his daughter out of their car when a coyote jogs up the street. While Ariel is busy getting a toy out of the car that his daughter wanted, the coyote makes a split-second decision to grab the little girl by her fluffy pink coat before attempting to drag her away! 

The wild animal drags her across the sidewalk and street as her screams quickly catch her dad’s attention. He scoops up his precious baby girl and deposits her in the house before running back outside with a piece of wood. 

Had Ariel not reacted as quickly as he did, this terrifying encounter could have ended tragically. Usually, wild animals don’t approach humans. But if they do, they are likely sick with rabies. 

A little girl in a different attack, shown at the end of the video, experienced it firsthand when she was attacked on her front porch by a raccoon. Her ordeal was captured on a home video camera. As she screams for help, the girl’s mother jumps in to rescue her and wrestles with a rabid raccoon. 

The mom even had the strength to push her daughter inside while chucking the raccoon across the yard so she, too, could get inside the house to safety. 

Thank God this father didn’t waste any time rescuing his precious baby girl from a terrifying situation. We can count on our heavenly father to protect us and put people like our parents in the right place at the right time to rescue us when we need it most. 

“He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me,” 2 Samuel 22:18.

You don’t want to miss Michael J Fox’s classic first appearance on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. 

1985 was a big year for Michael. It was the year when he starred in the role of Marty McFly in the now-classic movie hit, ‘Back To The Future.’ It was also the year when first appeared on the Tonight Show. 

The commentary between Johnny and Michael is humorous as Johnny pokes fun at Michael’s short height and how his short stature always seemed to work out for him. Because he was not overly tall, Michael said he could star in roles for a 10-year-old even though he was 15 at the time.

Michael then shared how he couldn’t find any work for a year, so he sold sections of his couch. We all remember the days when we first start off on our own and try to make ends meet while living on a meager budget. 

Apparently, it was no different for Michael too! When he finally started making a decent amount of money, he shared how excited he was to buy his first house. He joked, “When I got it and moved in, I put a lawn chair in the middle of the empty living room and just said, “‘Mine. Mine. Mine.’”  

The rest of the conversation is fun banter as Michael shares his experiences in making the hit film, Back To The Future, as well as personal experiences like having a ‘lady friend” he claims he had been dating for a while!

Michael shares how it was a weird situation in the film when he went back in time and sat down to have dinner with the girl who would become his mother, unbeknownst to her. Laughing about how awkward it is having your ‘mom’ make moves on you, Michael joked about how he managed to get himself into some comical real-life situations too. 

We hope you enjoyed this look back on Michael J Fox’s first appearance on the Johnny Carson show when he first became a big hit in the movie industry! Thank God for great actors like Michael, who have the ability to help us laugh.

A grandma’s touching serenade to her bedridden husband will make you teary-eyed. 

It is so precious and sweet. It makes me hopeful that my husband and I will be just as in love as these two when we get older. In a loving display of affection, filled with patience and appreciation, this grandma tenderly touches her husband’s face as she sings him to sleep. 

It’s evident that this woman serenades her husband often. How she moves and sings seems like a habit that has developed over time. While he lies unmoving in bed, she cleans off his chest. Then it seems as if she is blessing him with the movement of the cross on his cheeks and forehead before resting her hand on his chest. 

Often when we think of love, we think of young couples, weddings, and starting a family. But the goal is to love and serve each other all the days of our lives. 

A good example of that comes from the Bible. In the story of Ruth, Boaz and Ruth’s relationship didn’t start because of a crush. Instead, it started slowly through acts of service. Eventually, their relationship turned into a deep love and marriage. 

I’m so happy this precious moment was captured on camera and shared with the world. It makes me wonder how we can serve our loved ones in ways that make them feel loved. 

It’s not often we think of love as we age or what love will look like as we get older. Thank God for enduring, steadfast relationships that endure through the course of our lives. We praise him for the ability to touch, hold, and love family members in the here and now, much like this beautiful video. 

"And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony."  Colossians 3:14

10-year-old, Jadyn Rylee goes viral with an epic cover of Dolly Parton’s ‘Jolene.’ You don’t want to miss this performance. 

Jaydn is so talented, her voice gave me chills upon chills as she performed. ‘Jolene’ has been one of Dolly’s biggest hits of all time. Released in 1974, Jolene has been the number-one hit for any woman whose heart has been broken. But Dolly says the song isn’t just about jealousy and broken hearts. 

One night when she was performing, a little girl asked for her autograph. Dolly thought this sweet little girl was absolutely beautiful. As she was signing the autograph, she asked the little girl what her name was.  

Dolly said, “Well, you're the prettiest little thing I ever saw. So what is your name?' And she said, 'Jolene.' And I said, 'Jolene. Jolene. Jolene. Jolene.' I said, 'That is pretty. That sounds like a song. I'm going to write a song about that." 

Isn’t that refreshing? It gives the song a whole new meaning and it’s sweet to know the song didn’t come from Dolly getting her heart broken. 

Isn’t that just absolutely precious and so like Dolly? Now that you know a little more about how the song was inspired and created, it makes Jaydn’s performance of ‘Jolene’ just a little sweeter–maybe bittersweet. 

Jadyn has been singing for as long as she can remember. She lives in Canada, and her YouTube channel has received over 75 million views. At the tender age of 13, Jadyn released her first album, "The Voice of Change.” 

I have a feeling this won’t be the last we see or hear from her. Her voice is absolutely incredible. She was definitely born with the gift to perform. 

Her performance of ‘Jolene’ went viral with more than 4 million views. Wow! I hope you enjoyed her performance of ‘Jolene’ as much as I did.

After a terrifying accident, police officers who rescued a boy from a frozen pond came back with a football in hand for him just days later. He’s grateful for the gift, but his momma is thankful to have her son alive and well!

Watch as officers respond to the call about a possible drowning in the Chicago suburb of Aurora, Illinois. 

A 9-year-old boy had tried to collect his football after it landed in a frozen section of a nearby pond. After the ice broke and the boy fell into the frigid waters, a woman went in to try to save the child. Thankfully, officers arrived in time to save both the boy and the woman.

The body camera footage shows officers running to the scene. They have equipment for a water rescue, and as they approach the pond, a few remove bullet-proof vests and other items as they prepare to enter the water. What a frightening situation that must be—knowing that minutes matter in these situations!

The video shows first responders on the bank working with ropes to pull the injured out and others in the water assisting with the rescue. We hear the officers urgently calling out instructions to one another during the process and working as quickly as they can.

The boy and two officers who had entered the water sustained minor injuries and were taken to the hospital, but all were later released. 

Accidents like this one happen each year. One such occurrence and the miraculous healing of a teen boy in St. Charles, MO, a suburb of St. Louis, was the subject of the 2019 blockbuster movie Breakthrough. John Smith was under frosty lake waters after falling through ice for 15 minutes! 

We are abundantly blessed by first responders—police officers, EMTs, and firefighters! 

The Aurora, IL officers didn’t just save the young football fan; they also replaced the football he lost that day. They presented him with a new one on Thanksgiving!    

“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.” Psalms 91:14

God often uses the most unexpected people in the most unexpected ways to accomplish His Will and as wild as it might seem: God is using Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, for a big purpose. I have no doubt of this in my heart based on what I have seen and heard from the man over the past few months.
Check out :- https://www.digistore24.com/redir/357631/Star708/

God can use anyone He wants in order to accomplish His will. We don’t get to pick and choose, He does. We need to have faith and pray for everyone involved in what God is doing through Ye right now. Pray for a host of angels to surround and protect Ye and those around him. Pray for the Holy Spirit to give them discernment and wisdom. Pray that many people will come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior through Ye’s immense cultural influence on the youth. Pray that people will look beyond the attacks of the Enemy to destroy and defame him. Pray that people will see that what is going on is much bigger than politics. It’s spiritual warfare.

I believe that Ye demonstrated the love of Jesus Christ today on Infowars, which extends to all people. It’s unthinkable and sad that many Christians are failing to understand this basic Biblical concept and are once again taking the lying media headlines at face value. How many times do we need to learn this lesson? The red media is not our friend. All they do is lie, misrepresent and fabricate to form fear and drive people away from Truth.

Christ’s love and forgiveness extends to the beggar, the stealer, the murder, and the tyrant. The love and salvation of Jesus Christ is open to ALL. That was my takeaway from watching the Ye interview on Infowars today in full as it aired live. If you take the time to ignore the clickbait headlines, set aside the programmed emotional responses that have been drilled into your brain for decades, and sit down and listen to the man speak for the full interview I think you’ll come to the same conclusion.

“Either Jesus said so or Jesus said no.”

You have to see this video of Dolly Parton sharing with Kelly Clarkson her reaction of when she first heard Whitney Houston sing her song ‘I Will Always Love You.’

“If I should stay, well I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, and yet I know, I'll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you, I will always love you”

Dolly Parton released this iconic song in 1974, and the hit was part of her Jolene album. And then in 1992, Whitney Houston recorded a new arrangement of ‘I Will Always Love You’ for the soundtrack to The Bodyguard, her film debut.

Recently on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Dolly shared with Kelly the story of how she heard Whitney singing her song. While they were making the movie The Bodyguard, Dolly was asked if they could use her song for the soundtrack of the film and she gave them permission. But the first time she heard the new version of the song took her by surprise!

“Do you remember the first time you heard Whitney’s version?” Kelly asks Dolly. “I was driving my car,” Dolly shares. “I was just driving along, and I had the radio on.”

“That’s the first time?!” Kelly asks. “That was the first time!” Dolly responds. “They hadn’t sent it to me, I heard it on the radio! And so when it went into ‘And I...’ – I just freaked out. I had to pull over to the side, because I honestly thought I was going to wreck! It was the most overwhelming feeling.”

After sharing her story, Dolly and Kelly perform a little duet of the song ‘I Will Always Love You’ on the show. These two women are so talented and seeing them both sing together was just wonderful!

For the first time, Ashton Kutcher and his twin, Michael Kutcher, sit down for a joint interview, and Michael shares about overcoming his struggles for the greater good.

In a trailer for Paramount+’s ‘The Checkup With Dr. David Agus’ which premiers on December 12, Ashton Kutcher and his twin brother, Michael Kutcher, sit down and have an emotional discussion together. Michael was born with cerebral palsy and it impacts his speech, hearing, mobility in his right hand, and his vision. He also had a heart transplant.

When Ashton first shared about his inspiring twin brother publicly and his cerebral palsy, Michael was upset with him.

“I didn’t want to be the face of CP. I never talked about it,” Michael shared.

Michael also admits that he tried to hide his disorder, but soon came to see from his brother that he could use his story to help others.

“I almost died at birth, almost died during the heart transplant, but I’m still here. What is my purpose?” Chris said. “Now, my brother is a major celebrity. How do I utilize, kind of, the notoriety that I built kind of through that for the greater good. And to be able to give back to people, you know. And those are some great lessons that my brother taught me.”

How wonderful that Ashton helped Chris realize that he didn’t have to hide his cerebral palsy and that he could use it to inspire other people! And Michael, who calls Ashton by his first name which is Chris, shared about how grateful he is to his brother for this gift.

“Chris did me the biggest favor he’s ever done because he allowed me to be myself,” said Michael. “I was finally ready to tell my story and I knew because of my twin, I’d have a big reach.”

What a beautiful story and a strong bond of brotherhood and friendship between these two.
