Mom tells a store manager her kids were hungry…

Stumbling upon this kind of stories every once in a while lifts our spirits and restores our faith in humanity. This is touching indeed!

So let me first off explain how my store manager looks to most people, he is 6’3″ so he is tall, and seems very intimidating, but he is actually a very nice guy, and this was how I learned what kind of guy he was.

I had only been working for about 7 months at the store, and this woman walked in with two little kids. One was about 2, and the other was 5 years old. Their mother looked scared, her hair was a mess, and looked like she had no sleep in days she looked rough. Well she walks up to me, and asked to see the store manager so I call for him.

I was working check out that day so it was pretty slow compared to others so I had breathers between the customers, and I over heard the woman talking to him. She escaped her husband who was abusive, and lived in the neighboring town she had gotten an apartment with the help of a friend of hers, but she had nothing to eat, and she asked him for help.

The store manager told her to go fill a buggy with food, and to come to my line when she was done, and told her to get herself, and her children some hot food from the deli also. So she left, and about half an hour later she came to my line, and I called him back he showed up, and told me to ring it up like normal, and then he pulled out his wallet, and paid for the woman’s cart. Then he asked me to come to his office, and asked her to wait there.

He said he wanted me to help take things to her car, and to give her a paper he was writing on. So he handed me the paper, and I walked her to her car. Then handed her the paper he had given me to hand her. She started crying, and I asked her if she was ok she handed me the paper.

It basically was a note telling her he was sorry for her position, and if she needed a job to help her to get by that she could show up in a couple of days, and told her if she needed child care he had his number on there to call him, and he would help set it up for her.

Needless to say she showed up, and she is a very nice person who still works at our store. This is one of the many reasons why I love the store I work at, and I believe I have the best store manager in the world.

That’s the true American spirit for ya.

Clever Winter Tip For Removing Snow Off Your Rooftop

No matter how much we enjoy the winter and all those tiny and uniquely shaped snowflakes that fall on our face, I am sure we can’t help but think of all the trouble those piles of snow bring for the homeowners.

Having inches of snow on the roof means leaving and entering the place with a dose of precaution because no one wants the heavy snow to jiggle loose and fall right on the head of any of the residents.

Shoveling it if you are not a real pro can be dangerous, and hiring a snow cleaning company may cost you an arm and a leg. However, this guy from the video has the right solution for this problem and not only it’s very clever, but won’t cost you a lot.

YouTube

Shoveling snow by hand can be extremely tiring task, because it’s cold and you are outside braving the weather, instead of treating yourself with a cup of hot cocoa while reading a good book under your most warm blanket.

Above all, in order to complete this troublesome task, you have to be in great physical shape, because you have to heave hundreds of pounds of snow while staying on the rooftop trying to balance you body.

The excess snow may result in various damages such as leaks, or even roof collapse. Now if you wonder how could you prevent this all by yourself, the answer is here. You are going to need a rope and a hammer, and a bit of courage.

YouTube

This man climbs up onto the roof and then throws a length of rope with a hammer tied to one end onto the ground. He drapes the rest of the rope over and around the edges of the snow-pack on the roof, and hops back onto the ground.

He then starts pulling the rope which scraps underneath the layers of snow. And you are probably assuming what is going to happen next and how this unique idea works.

Now this YouTube

By doing so, the man creates the effect of an avalanche. The moving rope, which is previously covered in grease, makes the snow loose and slippery from the bottom so it falls down easily.

Now these enormous layers of snow have to be removed from around the place, but that’s easier and less expensive than shoveling it from the rooftop.

Who would have though removing snow from the roof could be so simple.

Busker Sings ‘Hallelujah’ In The Streets For Touching Reason

Becoming a world famous singer do requires possessing amazing vocals and God given talent, but luck is always there in the picture. There are lots of people whose voice sounds out-of-this world, but they never made it in becoming starts or pursuing a career in the music industry.

However, thanks to the talent shows such as The Voice or X Factor, many struggling musicians get their chance to wow the world. You certainly remember Susan Boyle, the lady who stunned 10 million viewers of Britain’s Got Talent and became a celebrity over night. And as it’s normal for people to be noticed while performing on huge stages of popular shows, it’s definitely not that usual for a talent to be found on the street.

An older gentleman with long bushy hair, wearing gray pants, hitting the high notes of “Hallelujah,” sometimes accompanied with a guitarist with torn jeans, stunned the onlookers and everyone who got to listen to his divine voice.

YouTube

This man is Herbie Russ. He spends his days helping the homeless make enough money to go through the day. At times, he can be noticed puling a trolley and sifting through garbage, but what he really does is using his voice to entertain the passersby who will hopefully put some money in his box. This time, Russ has been seen singing the amazingly ear-catching rendition of “Hallelujah” while sitting under a tree. People say he often sings while walking by the side of the road, while his amazing voice is blending with the noise of the driving vehicles.

YouTube

You’ll be amazed to hear that he does all of this for his fellow friends on the street. All the money he makes are for them.

In fact, this generous man is a professional musician, singer, and a songwriter. He had borrowed his voice to many companies, and can be heard doing the commercials of General Motors, AT&T, the Ford Motor Company, and Fox Network.

However, Herbie didn’t have an easy life. He had been kicked out of his home when he was a teenager and he’s been living this kind of life ever since. He survived playing for bands, and sleeping on couches.

YouTube

When he found himself at the crossroad of life, not knowing what to do with his talent, he somehow found himself in front of a shelter for homeless people. He though it was a sign from God to use his voice in order to help the less fortunate. But, when he offered to sing and play for the residents, the shelter’s staff turned him down. This didn’t discouraged Herbie. On the contrary, he started doing gigs and used the money he was making to ease the life of the people who needed a push in life.

He has many bookings for shows now, but helping others remains his life mission.

It’s amazing what this man does for the community. His kind deeds affect the existence of many people who are left alone and have no one by their side.

Miss Universe is the annual event millions of people are waiting in anticipation.

Gorgeous women are walking the stage, doing their best to show both their inner and outer beauty that would hopefully enchant the judges and the audience.

These women take part in various categories, secretly dreaming of being crowned the winner of the show.

Last November, dazzlingly beautiful Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters from South Africa won the title and captured the hearts of people from all around the world. She also stole the heart of one very special person. Her attractive looks accompanied with her strong faith in God made her the country’s sweetheart.

When she met Tim Tebow, the athlete who makes difference in people’s lives, everyone agreed they were a match made in Heaven.

“She is a really special girl and I am very lucky and blessed for her coming into my life,” Tebow said.

Instagram/demileighnp

Among the numerous charities and events missionary Tebow runs, one brought him and Demi-Leigh together. “Night to Shine” is an event for young people of all abilities that Demi-Leigh’s sister with special needs attended. Demi herself is a founder of an organization that helps these people.

That things between the two are pretty serious is apparent. Their families met after the Tebows invited Demi-Leigh’s parents to their 47th wedding anniversary celebration.

The couple is known for their devotion to God and their life-mission of helping the less fortunate.

It looks as though Demi-Leigh agrees with and follows along her sweetheart’s mission of “bringing faith, hope, and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need.”

This gorgeous Miss Universe proclaims her love for God through her Instagram posts. Also, through her involvement in charities such as God’s Love We Deliver.

People, however, only learned of her strong commitment towards the divine during this year’s ceremony of passing the crown to the new Miss Universe.

Instagram/demileighnp

The words she spoke as she passed the crown to this year’s winner Catriona Gray touched the hearts of many.

“First, all glory goes to my Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ,”

This reminded everyone that even in the time of glory, we should always praise our God, because He was the one who guided us through our path to success.

Store Staff Finds Boys Note On Box And Take Action

Many kids grow up with a favorite stuffed toy by their side. These huggables are their best friends that never leave their side. Well, who would fight against the monsters under the bed if not the plushy bear, turtle, or even panda?

Leon is a 10-year-old boy who seems to love toys a lot. However, this particular “Lovable Huggable Panda” stole his heart the moment he laid eyes on it. Staying there on the shelf of their local Asda store in Hunt’s Cross, it looked as though it was waiting for Leon to notice it and take it home.

With sparkles in his eyes, he rushed to him mom Debbie and asked her to buy the panda. He really didn’t want any other kid to get it before him and make it their pal. Unfortunately, Debbie didn’t have the money with her and had to say no. At least until the next payday. This was devastating news for lovely Leon who already named the toy ‘Pandy.’

After they left the store, the staff could see something that brought smile on their face. Leon placed the Panda in an empty cardboard box and left a heartwarming message on it.

“My mum doesnt have anuff money, so she’s byeng  me Pandy next week 15 June. So please don’t bye him it will make me cry – thank you so much from his hopeful future owner. Pandas name is Pandy.”

Facebook/David Bateman

This was enough for the employees to step in and make sure this panda ends up in the hands of the boy who loved it so much. They all gave some money from their own pocket, paid for it, and then posted it on Facebook hoping the future owner will stumble upon the post. Luckily, that’s exactly what happened.

“A few days later I was flicking through Facebook – I hadn’t realised until then what Leon had written – he’d really poured his heart and soul into his message.”

Facebook/David Bateman

Debbie and her son got back to Asda where the employees were waiting for Leon. They handed in the panda to him and he was beyond grateful and happy.

“As he was walking out he said to me ‘This is the best day of my life’.  It meant the world to him – thank you so much Asda!”

Facebook/Asda

What the staff did for Leon didn’t only affect him, but the whole family. During their toughest period, while they were still mourning the loss of Leon’s baby brother, this kind act came as a reminder that no matter how hard it gets there are still things we should be grateful for.

“In January my son Oliver was born prematurely and passed away four days later so it’s been a really tough, difficult time for all of the family, especially the children who were so involved in the lead-up to the birth.”

We are so happy this very special boy got the panda he so much wanted to have. We are sure he will keep it as a loving memory of the good act even after he gets older.

Celine Dion And Jimmy Fallon Musical Impressions

Celine Dion has ensured for herself a firm place on the list of the all-time favorite vocals in the music industry. Charles Alexander of Time once described her as “the power behind songs” who can easily manipulate her voice shifting from ballads into pop music. Her performances are effortless and elegant, and she never ceases to surprise us with her talent, such as when she appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

She showed the world once again that she isn’t only a singer, but a performer who knows how to charm those listening to her perfect singing and her sweet dancing. This time she nailed it impersonating other artists.

YouTube

Once our favorite host mentions the Wheel of Musical Impressions, where artists have to push a button to see which artist and song they need to copy, Celine says how she’s seen other guests done it before and she goes for it.

Celine’s first pick is her fellow colleague and friend Cher and the song “Frere Jacques.” This fun and entertaining performance brought laughter at the audience.

YouTube

The second pick was Michael Jackson’s “One Dance” that’s done mostly by Jimmy who is really good at it. He showed some killing singing skills himself.

Next is Rihana and the nursery “Row, Row, Row Your Boat.” One would think it’s hard to perform a kid’s lullaby sounding like Rihana, but when it comes to Celine nothing is impossible. She first pretends for it to be a challenging task, but then quickly starts singing the song to the tune of Rihana’s “Work.” But the real surprise here was seeing Celine dancing. She really rocked that stage.

Now this has to be the best part of all. Celine’s final pick is Sia for the song “Hush, Little Baby.” However, for the whole experience to be complete, Celine needed to look like Sia as well so she asked Jimmy for a wig, but the only thing she got was a stuffed toy.

YouTube

Doing this last challenge, Celine showed everyone once again she’s a top-notch artist with a wide vocal range who easily hit the high notes of Sia’s “Chandelier“.

This doesn’t really come as a surprise because she always had certain dose of sharpness in her voice. Some of her all time favorite hits are “Because You Loved Me”, “All by Myself”, “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now“, and “The Power of Love“.

Check the video below and enjoy this fun side of Celine we don’t get to witness that often.
