No matter how much we want certain issues such as racism to be part of the past, we witness many situations that prove there are still people out there who consider themselves superior over others only because of the skin color. Unfortunately, that’s the sad reality we face every single day.

The latest story that we’ve stumbled upon provoked outrage at everyone who saw how this lady treated another passenger.

Emmit Walker was about to take a flight from Washington D.C to the Dominican Republic for his birthday celebration. This music executive was waiting in the line for priority boarding.

As he was waiting, the woman behind him approached and asked him whether he was at the right line.

This made Walker a bit angry. He felt the need to share the story on his Facebook page.

He posted a photo and a description of the conversation they had.

She was confident Walker was in the wrong line. She probably assumed he couldn’t be flying first class so after she said excuse me, she went on explaining how he should switch lines and how his name will be called once those with priority boarding tickets are on board.

Walker tried to explain to her how he actually had a priority boarding pass. He even told her how he was in the line in front of her so she would get on the plane after him.

Even after Walker showed her his ticket, she couldn’t wrap her head around the fact that he could afford a first-class ticket.

Why would she even care how would someone pay for their ticket. She could have mind her own business, but she was way too rude to do that.

Walker was overwhelmed when he heard her muttering how he was probably in the military and that had to be the reason behind him waiting in her line. Even adding how military members shouldn’t be allowed to board before paying customers.

He then turned to her and told her that he was “too big” for the military. He was just a black guy with money. Was that too hard to understand?

Onlookers were pleased to see how Walker dealt with the presumptuous lady.

What Walker didn’t expect was for his post to spread online like a wildfire.

By the time he landed to his destination, he realized the number of people it reached. But as he explained later, he never intended for it to go viral, because ho matter how frustrated this woman made him feel, he still felt sorry for her and didn’t want people to “attack her” because the incident was already behind.

This amazing man took to Instagram to make a public apology to the woman who believed he couldn’t buy himself a ticket only because he was black.

Although the woman’s behavior towards him displayed racism, he didn’t want to expose her to that many people.

As he wrote down, writing that post wasn’t really the best solution.

He assumed that the lady was sorry for what she did and he didn’t want her to go through hell because of him. He was really looking forward to having a blissful day and a nice birthday celebration but he couldn’t get over the fact that that lady’s day was ruined for what she did.

Walker says he’s a kind of guy who never does anybody wrong, but always tries to put himself in other people’s shoes.

Emmit Walker is indeed the type of person we don’t get to meet every day. To be honest, not many people apologize to those who hurt them. This story is so unique that it touched us to the core. Way to go Emmit, you the guy we should all look up to!

Woman Transforms Rotting Tree In Her Yard Into Charming Neighborhood Library

With the advance of technology and the youth expecting everything to be served up on their plate, one would assume traditional libraries will become obsolete in the future. But, that’s far from happening. According to a Pew Research study, around 53% of the Americans aged 18 to 35 visited a library at least once last year.

And although there are huge and gracious libraries around the world containing millions of books and that many visitors, this one is indeed unique and special because it is full of soul.

It has been “made” by re-purposing the old tree with huge roots that had to be cut down. This rotting tree is outside the home of Sharalee Armitage Howard. She was completely aware that keeping the tree was dangerous, but she didn’t want to lose it either. It has been an important part of the neighborhood in the last 110 years, and to everyone’s surprise, Howard found the perfect way to keep it.

With the help of the remarkable artistic skills of artist Coeur d’Alene from Idaho, the tree was turned into the coziest and most appealing tiny library. Now everyone can enjoy a good book inside the immense tree that was a symbol of the neighborhood.

“We had to remove a huge tree that was over 110 years old, so I decided to turn it into a little free library (which I’ve always wanted),”

Sharalee wrote on her Facebook page.

“Here it is (minus some cleanup, vegetation, and trim work)!”

The converted tree is now called “Little Free (Tree) Library” and it offers some of the most famous books. People are not only given the chance to borrow a book, but will be able to share the ones they possess.

The appearance of the library is pretty attractive, with a glass door and a path made of huge stones. The book cases are illuminated so that one can take a look on the inside without having to open the door.

“A fun detail that didn’t show up in my first picture, is that the dental moulding above the door, is actually little, titled, wooden books,” she writes.

The books are all engraved with the titles of famous books.

This masterpiece gathered the attention of many people, and some local news outlets picked the story behind it.

L

What Sharalee did is indeed special. She is now a member of the Little Free Library organization that sets small libraries in every corner of the country.

Will your neighborhood consider building one? It’s not only a nice addition, but a way to make the young read more.

FedEx Driver Feels God Call Her To Pray with Woman, Returns to Her Front Door 20 Stops Later

Nowadays, not many young people set as a mission in life to be providing help and assistance to those in need or those who deserve to be given recognition for what they do for the country and the community. But Amanda Riggan is unlike other people. This woman lives her life by letting God and his will guide her and show her the right path.

She works as a FedEx driver, but is running the organization “Hungry Heroes” at the same time. This organization thanks local heroes by providing them with food. This is their goal:

“Thanks to the amazing support from the community and local businesses, Hungry Heroes has been able to serve over 600 heroes throughout York County and surrounding areas since it was founded in April 2018.”

“Feeding 1st Responders one agency at a time — we serve those who serve and protect us as our way to show our appreciation to Police, Fire, EMS, and Military. Serving BBQ with a ‘Thank You.’”

However, Amanda’s recent experience that she shared on Facebook is what makes her stand out as a person who is devoted to bringing smile and happiness in the life of others. Below is the touching story of the encounter she had with a lovely elderly woman she stumbled upon while doing her job.


“As I’m delivering, I pull up to this house, the lady walks out because she’s checking her mailbox for her newspaper. And I have two boxes for her, so we start walking up the driveway together, and she asks me if I had a happy holidays, and I was telling her how busy it was.”


“I told her I had a really great Christmas and New Years, and I asked her the same, I was like ‘how was your holidays?’ And with tears in her eyes, she said it wasn’t good. She said, ‘He’s sick. My husband’s sick. He has cancer.’”


“I continue to small talk and try to change the subject because that’s awkward, and I deliver her package. She said ‘what’s your name?’ I said ‘Amanda,’ and she told me her name. I drove off. My heart’s pounding. I do probably 20 more stops, and I have to go back.”

She was well aware that going back would mean being late and getting off the tight schedule, but she also knew nothing was more important than being there for a person in need. God works that way, He puts on our path someone we should lend a helping hand to, and that’s exactly what Amanda did.

“I stopped what I was doing. I went back to that neighborhood, and rang her doorbell, and asked her — she came down the stairs, she had tears in her eyes when she saw it was me, she smiled, and I said ‘Ma’am can I pray with you?’ And she just broke down. She came out on the front porch and squeezed me so tight.”

She made a decision to knock on that woman’s door once again and tell her that she’s not left to fight her battles alone. Amanda has some words of wisdom to share with those who will ever find themselves in a similar situation.

“The point of this is, is a lot of people want the Lord to use them, and for me — as an example, I pray every day for the Lord to use me, but when He’s trying to use you or when you feel that call, and that tug on your heartstrings, do you move your feet? Do you move?”


“When you feel those tugs on your heartstrings, and you feel like you need to do this, stop and do it.”


“If you’re praying for the Lord to help and to use you in people’s situations, when He is giving you a chance, do it. . . Be sure you know what you’re praying for when you’re praying.”

We are beyond thankful for people like Amanda who make a difference in people’s life and make this world a better place.

Daughter finds items belonging to neighbor after cleaning dad’s place out

Ken Watson wasn’t a regular retiree. At the age of 85, this brave old man learned how to skydive, and that was just one of the many risky stunts he enjoyed performing. Each day of his life was an adventure and he lived it to the fullest. But this man had a secret that his family learned of only after he said the last goodbye.

Although it may sound unusual, this loving elderly became friends with a 2-year-old Cadi whose family lived next door. Everyone was aware that he grew fond of her, but no one knew how much. After his funeral, Ken’s daughter went through his stuff and was stunned to find something that belonged to the sweet little neighbor.

Facebook/CBS News

Ken knew that his life was coming to an end which meant he wouldn’t be able to give Cadi presents for the most beautiful time of the year, so he came with an amazing idea that touch the hearts of everyone. The old man bought 14 Christmas gifts he carefully wrapped. He wanted Cadi to receive a different present until she would turn 16. Owen, Cadi’s dad,a told the BBC:

“Our elderly neighbour passed away recently. His daughter popped round a few moments ago clutching a large plastic sack. In the sack were all the Christmas presents he’d bought for *our* daughter for the next thirteen years.”

Owen and his wife shared an emotional moment remembering the loving neighbor who cared so much for little Cadi. They had no idea how he planned on delivering the gifts each year, they only knew it was the sweetest thing ever.

Twitter/Owen Williams

Cadi’s family wanted to grant their neighbor’s wish and arrange for the girl to be getting different present every Christmas, but the thing was that they weren’t labeled and they didn’t know what order they should be opened. They were probably carefully selected to fit her age over the years.

Owen was curious and opened one of them, and there was a book inside. Another one had a plush toy, as for the rest, well, that remains a mystery.

Twitter/Owen Williams

Ken only knew Cadi’s parents for a couple of years, because it was two years before the baby girl was born that he moved in the neighborhood. But he loved that girl as though she was his own granddaughter. Owen says Ken was a “real, real, character” and his actions do confirm that he was one of a kind. A neighbor anyone would ask for.

Nowadays, not many people have close relationships with those living around because everyone is way too busy to be making friends with the neighbors. Ken however, was an old school. He lived in the time when people were more supportive of one another, and knew how to wave hi and goodbye with a smile whenever they’d see each other.

We hope we’ll learn how to live in the spirit of appreciating our neighbors the way Ken did.

Tim Conway Makes Co Star Break Character With Hilarious Fall

What’s better than when you end the day with a relaxing bath and a good TV show that makes you laugh and helps you gather the energy for the next day. While these days there are some top-notch comedies staring famous comedians, nothing compares with the good old shows such as Carol Burnett Show that stood the test of time and it’s still one of our favorite.

Well, we can’t expect less from a crew that’s one of a kind, so whenever there are the names of Carol Burnett, Harvey Korman, Vicki Lawrence, and Tim Conway listed next to each other, that’s acting to remember. One of the best scenes that today’s featured star Tom shot left not only the audience, but his fellow actors as well, in stitches.

YouTube

These types of shows are usually shot in front of a life audience so the actors are under pressure to do everything right the first time they shoot a scene. But for actors like Tim, nothing is a challenge. He makes his job looks like a piece of cake, that’s how good he is.

Playing the role of Carol’s grandpa, he is about to come down the stairs, but why would he do it as every other person would when he can fall down in full slow-motion. It’s one of the best scenes ever and it makes us burst out laughing every time we watch it. Yes, you are gonna see it more than once, that’s for sure. Carol and Harvy can’t contain their laughter either.
During the filming he became known for cracking up his co-stars with his improvisations.

YouTube

Tim had an impact on the whole show. It wouldn’t be the same without his amazing acting skills as a comedian. He later moved to other shows and films. During the late 70s he paired with Don Knotts for several movies and later enjoyed success with the Dorf movies. This six-time Emmy award winner lent his voice to Barnacle Boy, the Nickelodeon’s fictional character in Spongebob Squarepants. A trait of most of the characters he played is their goofiness.

YouTube

Tim is a comedy legend. This epic scene is just a reminder of his amazing acting.

Tim Tebow’s charities has given hope to so many children in need of love. This young athlete who is a devoted Christian has done the most amazing thing by founding an event that changes the lives of the young people with special needs. Night to Shine gives these teens a chance to understand how important they are and how dreams do come true. The event is organized in February as a prom party that hosts a great number of young people aged 14 and older.

Judy Adams was one of the guests of last year’s event sponsored by the Tim Tebow Foundation. Tim did for this very special young lady something she will never forget.

YouTube

Judy asked Tim to be her prom partner during the event he hosted but he had to turn her down, and now he got on The Tonight Show elaborating his reasons he had to say no to the sweet offer. But he had something in his sleeve, a surprise that Judy didn’t expect. Tim really is a very special guy who never ceases to melt our hearts.

YouTube

“She is so amazing and so inspirational, and she is here.” He called Judy’s name and approached the crowd, took her hand and asked her for a dance. Needless to say, the excited teenager gave him a resounding “Yes!”

Her mother couldn’t hold the tears back because this was her daughter’s dream coming true in front of her eyes.

This has to be the best prom dance both for Tim and Judy. Take a look at the touching moment in the video below.

Bored Passengers Get Treated To An Unexpected Musical Performance

Getting stuck at the airport between flights or because of a delay can be nerve-racking, mostly because it’s downright boring. If you are lucky to be traveling to or from some of the most exciting airports such as the Munich airport in Germany, then you can have fun because this one is a destination itself. It offers a behind the scene tours, you can watch films on aviation in the airport’s 60-seat cinema, or just stop for a teeth cleaning at the airport dental office.

But this group of passengers found themselves waiting at an airport in Malta, which is an ordinary one and doesn’t offer any specific type of fun, except for a couple of shops. However, these people were treated with something really unique. A piano performance by one of the famous composers and pianists who showed his talent in the middle of the lobby.

YouTube

As everyone was either taking a quick nap, or staring on their phone’s screen, a man dressed in casual clothes, a shirt, comfy shorts, and slippers, approached the piano. Once he opened the lid and started moving his fingers over the keyboard, it was obvious it wasn’t going to be ‘just an ordinary day’ at the airport.

The man is actually a renowned composer who has around 70,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel. He makes his own music and treats the world with unique and ear-catching compositions. Evgeny Khmara gave the passengers a day to remember.

YouTube

His amazing talent and the way he “plays” with the instrument caught the attention of everyone present. One by one, people started gathering around. Many took their phones out making sure they capture the amazing performance. The pleasant music put a smile on the onlookers’ faces who are clearly enjoying the melody.

Even the young kids who were playing and running around took their time to stop and listen to the enchanting sound. Everyone is watching with a rapt attention.

YouTube

Evgeny’s performance was simply flawless. He is a true professional who does his best no matter if he performs on a stage or in the middle of an airport. Aside from making original music, he also does covers of famous songs. Playing on public places isn’t something he does for the first time. He has done it before simply because he wants making random peoples’ days. Evgeny is a great musician and a kind-hearted person. We would like to stumble upon one of his public performances.

We are sure the passenger didn’t get mad for the flight delay because they got to enjoy something very special.

Widow’s Wish Fulfilled After Leaving a Single Rose and Heartbreaking Note on Lakeside Gate

Doing good is what makes the world go round, because when those around us are happy that makes us happy too.

It’s amazing how a good deed never goes unnoticed and how an act of kindness, no matter how small, always goes a long way and inspires others to become better people.

Maya Angelou explained what kindness really is, and we can’t agree more.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

The nice things we do for someone have the power to evoke feelings of gratitude that stay with the person in the years to come. That’s why we should all strive to be those people who make others feel good.

An anonymous note was left on a gate near a lake in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, recently. The note was written by a woman whose husband’s ashes were in the lake. This loving lady felt the need to visit her lover’s resting place and bring a rose as a sign that she has never forgotten about him, although he was no longer by her side.

This story has been shared on Twitter by someone from Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School Rowing club, who stumbled upon the note.

“Please can someone throw this into the lake for me?” the note’s simple request reads. “My late husband’s ashes are in the lake and I can’t get to the lakeside in my wheelchair anymore.”

The woman left that note because she couldn’t reach the lake herself, and it was obvious it meant the world to her.

The kind person who stumbled upon her request took a photo of the rose floating the water. People who read the post said what the lady wanted to do for her late husband was very touching. One person wrote:

“I hope that this woman knows that her message went viral.”

It’s interesting how the person who fulfilled the woman’s wish tweeted about kindness days prior to the event.

“Another full day of rowing as usual but worth stopping for a second to recognise (sic) world mental health day, remember to look after each other, talk, and be kind.”

It’s so good to know that this person doesn’t only say how important it is to care for one another and do good, but actually does it.

We hope this story will make you do a kind deed whenever you are given a chance. Never forget that it may change someone’s life!
