It was the surprise of a lifetime when The Rock sings Happy Birthday to this grandma on her 100th birthday.
Normally, when we think of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, we picture the super tough action movie star. But off-screen, this talented actor has a much softer side.
Dwayne started off as a wrestler for the WWE, but as the years went on, he made the transition to a successful movie career. Some of his blockbuster hits include Disney’s Moana, The Scorpion King and The Fast and Furious films.
Grandma Marie Grover has been following The Rock’s career for decades and is one of his biggest fans. As her 100th birthday approached, Marie’s wanted to pull out all the stops. That’s when she enlisted the help of her publicist friend to try and contact The Rock for a special birthday message.
After a posting on Twitter, Dwayne personally responded writing, “What?? First I’m hearing of this! Who’s turning 100? Beautiful age! What do you need, Jamie?” That’s when this kind-hearted celebrity recorded a video of himself singing Happy Birthday to Marie with some heartfelt words at the end. When Marie saw the video, she was overcome with excitement. A huge smile spreads across her face as she listens to The Rock wish her well. “I’m sending you so much love and huge congratulations on 100 years. What an amazing life.”
Once the video was posted online, it quickly went viral. Now, the whole world is sharing in the joy of Marie and her once-in-a-lifetime gift.
7-year-old Madison Taylor Baez made waves across the Internet after her performance of ‘The National Anthem’ at a soccer game went viral.
In 1814, Francis Scott Key penned the iconic song after the events of The War Of 1812. British forces bombed Fort McHenry but the U.S. still proved victorious during the battle.
The next morning, Francis Scott Key spotted the American flag flying over the fort and he was hit with love and inspiration. What followed are the special words that we know and love today.
“O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?”
‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ is one of the hardest songs to perform. It features a number of high notes that make for difficult transitions but 7-year-old Madison performed it flawlessly.
In fact, she’s performed ‘The National Anthem’ so many times that she has been dubbed ‘The Anthem Girl.’ For such a young girl, she certainly has a big voice and she can belt out those tough lyrics. No wonder everyone is talking about this incredible talent.
What did you think of this patriotic performance?

One woman performs a breathtaking rendition of ‘Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)’ using a kalimba.
This particular Christian song has become a sensation across the world. Originally recorded by Hillsong UNITED, one of the top Christian groups of the modern era, ‘Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)’ is now a staple in worship services all over the globe.
“You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep
My faith will stand”
Today, Karina Javier is putting her own unique spin on this beloved tune. She utilizes the kalimba, an African musical instrument, to create this incredible instrumental sound.
As you listen to these sweet notes, you will be reminded of the love and mercy that comes from our Father in Heaven. No matter the time or distance, God will always be right there to welcome us home.

And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise, my soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine”
Psalm 150:1-5 “1 Praise the LORD.Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. 2 Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. 3 Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, 4 praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, 5 praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.”
Sometimes we (Including myself) need to check our motives and attitudes to ensure we are pleasing the Lord in business, among church members and in anything we are doing.
Colossians 1:10 (NKJV) “that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God”
1 John 3:22 (NKJV) “And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.”

One family is mourning the loss of their beloved pit bull after he gave his life to save a young boy. God truly knew what He was doing when He placed dogs on this earth.
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. And sometimes, that love goes beyond anything we could ever imagine.
Georgina Richardson recalled the moment that her 8-month-old dog, Zeus, made a courageous sacrifice. 10-year-old Oriley was playing outside of his house while Zeus watched over him.
That’s when Zeus leapt into action and jumped in front of Oriley. The boy thought that the dog was just playing with a rope on the ground, but when Zeus rolled over, the scary truth was revealed. "Zeus just started to roll over and as he rolled over I could see that the snake was dead."
Zeus had wrestled with, and killed, a deadly coral snake. Next to the black mamba, this is the most venomous snake on earth. During the scuffle, Zeus was bitten multiple times.
Georgina loaded Zeus into the car and rushed to find a veterinary hospital that could help save this heroic dog. Sadly, Zeus passed away from his injuries but Oriley remained unharmed.
Georgina commented on Zeus’ ultimate sacrifice saying, "Had it not been for him, my son might not be here right now.”
A recent Samsung ad is tugging at heartstrings all over the world as it showcases a new and innovative feature on phones.
For decades, Samsung has been a leader in technology and, now, they’re taking it to the next level with the introduction of Good Vibes. This is a communication tool that allows those who are deaf and blind to communicate with their caregiver or loved one.

They make the decision to send the girl to a school where she can learn how to take care of herself and ways to understand others. It’s there that she receives the gift of a phone from her parents.
The girl utilizes the Good Vibes tool to send a message to her parents and they cry tears of joy after “hearing” their child communicate for the very first time. With this newfound ability, life can be completely different. This is such an incredible commercial and an even more remarkable product.
It was a breathtaking moment captured on camera when a police officer recorded this homeless woman singing in a Los Angeles subway.
52-year-old Emily Zamourka was stepping off the subway one evening when she started to sing an opera classic. Her melodious voice captured the attention of a nearby LAPD police officer and he asked if he could record her performance.
At first, Emily was a bit shy but she eventually allowed the officer to video her Puccini song. Later, the police officer posted the video on the department’s social media and the views started to climb.
The officer wrote, “4 million people call LA home. 4 million stories. 4 million voices ... sometimes you just have to stop and listen to one, to hear something beautiful.” It was a simple sentiment that so many others have felt too. Now, Emily finds herself at the center of a viral phenomenon. She shared with the Los Angeles Times how a series of medical struggles and unstable employment led to her eviction.
Now, this homeless woman spends her nights on the subway and her days walking down the streets. But all that is about to change thanks to this one special serenade. Once her identity was discovered, people from all over reached out to help Emily. She’s already booked a singing gig and others are helping to provide shelter and basic necessities for the inspiring woman.
It’s a whirlwind of emotion but Emily is thankful for every moment. “I want to thank that police officer who did that video, and I wanted to thank God that he inspired me to do that.”
Outspoken Christian Tim Tebow shares a powerful message about emotions.
Tim Tebow has been a famous name in the media since his days of playing college football. And this pro athlete always put God first.
While playing at the University of Florida, Tim was known for writing bible verse on his eye paint. During a one championship game, he wrote John 3:16 on his eye black and within 24 hours over 90 million Google searches were generated for the verse. During his NFL days, his celebratory prayer on the field coined the phrase ‘Tebowing.’
Tim spent five years in the NFL, but after being released from the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015, he turned his sights to another dream. Now, Tim plays in the minor leagues with the New York Mets baseball team. He also continues to use his platform to share the message of God.
Today, he’s standing on stage speaking about our emotions. So many people let their emotions lead their decisions, but Tim has something even stronger to guide us. “If you’re someone who listens to emotions, you need to stop.”
He goes on to say that convictions are what we should truly be listening to. “If you listen to your convictions, even when you’re tired and your emotions tell you ‘I don’t want to get up,’ your convictions say ‘I’ll be the first one up.’”
Get ready to make yourself even greater when we can put the Earthly emotions aside and focus on God. This is such a powerful message.
