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.

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.

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!

While growing up, young children experience lots of new things, among which fears of the dark or the freaky monsters hiding under their bed or in the closet. But this girl, however, is experiencing something more real and much scarier. Someone is secretly sneaking into her room during the night andstealing her toys while she’s sound asleep.

YouTube

The parents knew they had to find out what was going on. They assumed their younger son was the little thief so they decided to take things in their hands and catch the ‘wrongdoer’ who left the poor girl terrified.

YouTube

The Mosers decided to keep the girl’s room’s door locked so that her brother can’t enter and take the toys. However, when they realized that they toys kept vanishing they sort of panicked and decided to examine the matter even further.

What they did next was installing a camera that would catch the thief in action. It was placed on night mode so that they could clearly see how the toy bandit manages to enter the room.

YouTube

The mystery is finally revealed, but in order for you to learn who the sneaky thief is you’ll have to watch the video and see it for yourself.

You’ll probably want your friends to see it too, especially those who have children or are planning to have in the future. Having them in our life is a real blessing, although they can be hard to handle at times.

Luckily for this family and their daughter, her toys are now safe.

Woman Shares Thank You Note to Stranger On the Subway for ‘Reading Her Body Language’

Many times, public transport is a place where different sorts of people are found to be staying together, as well as the place where many women experience the so called “street” harassment.

A woman gets to Reddit, the online platform where people share their stories and jokes anonymously, and talks about her uncomfortable experience and what a random guy did for her.

This user that goes by the name of strawberry_luv posted this under the name “Thank you to the guy on the subway who could read my body language’. This is a proof that not all heroes wear capes, some are just fellow subway passengers who know how to sense if someone’s in trouble.

“I got on the 1 train here, and a man got on after me. (this happens everywhere) I had my keys between my hands but barely noticable because this guy has been standing behind me the whole 6 minutes i waited for the train. (calling me baby etc,) I sat down and he sat over me holding the bar and I felt so anxious like throwing up so I stood up near a bunch of other people holding the rail.

Then this guy says to me ‘hey Lauren. you going to Jeff’s dinner party too?’ I was confused for a sec because he was staring at me and my name isn’t Lauren. it took me like 10 seconds to even realize what he was doing. i said yeah. and he said ‘perfect timing we can walk together. what stop were you going to get off on” and I told him. then he says look what Jeff texted me and handed me the notes app which had ‘are you ok?’ and he kind of moved to side so i could write in it. I told him this guy was following me.”

The kind stranger got off at her stop and made sure she arrived at her friend’s place safe and sound. As for the stalker, he just had to quit after he realized the woman was not alone.

She confesses how she panicked about the whole thing and then added how grateful she was for what this mad did for her.

“I am so thankful men like him are out there and aware of situations like that. In New York most people really keep to themselves so thank you very much Michael wherever you are. I am sorry I made you late but you were like my guardian angel.”

Walking the streets or taking the subway all alone can be a scary experience for a woman, so you should always have a tactic in case someone decides to start stalking you.

However, we are glad there are still men out there who would step in for a lady in trouble.
