Humans and horses go way back. These elegant and graceful creatures have been our companions for as long as we can remember and the benefits we get from them are numerous.
Not only are they of great assistance when it comes to farming, but they also make great friends.
Horses are naturally calm animals and they often spread that feeling of harmony to humans. That’s way spending time around them can feel so relaxing.
The video below is just another proof of how awesome these animals can be. A girl is desperately trying to mount on a horse’s back but fails each time. That’s when she gets an unexpected help. You wonder who stepped in? Well, the horse itself.

As she was doing her best to place her leg over the animal’s body, the horse realized he should step in and lend her a helping hand. In the next moment, he decided to lean down so that she could mount with ease.
The woman filming the incredible scene was so surprised with the horse’s action that she couldn’t help by burst out laughing.

Take a look at the video below and you’ll know why horses are such incredible animals and friends.
Sometimes, the cruelties that happen are impossible to understand. This story fits right into that category, and it’s possibly one of the worst stories I have ever heard.
In Santa Fe, Argentina, a 3-year-old boy died after a violent rape.
At the Santa Fe child hospital, his just 10-month-old sister fights for her own life.
Both were originally admitted into Niños Orlando Alassia Hospital. The hospital manager said the boy came in critical condition. With several fractures to his skull, chest, and ribs, hospital staff revived him. Sadly, he passed away that night in his sleep.
The staff noticed his injuries indicated he had been sexually abused. Him and his sister alike both show clear signs of physical abuse along with neglect.
The staff questioned their mother. When questioned, the mom accused the children’s stepfather of the attack. Since then, authorities have arrested him.
Currently, the girl is being monitored in the hospital throughout the rest of her recovery.
Life is full of challenges that cross our path when we least expect them. However, living and surviving means being able to cope with those challenges the best we can. Sometimes a little push from someone is all we need in order to overcome the issues we face, because a small act of kindness can go a long way and restore our faith in humanity.
February 23rd was the day the young parents Jesse and Maria Hulscher welcomed to the world their second baby boy. This made them happy beyond words. They just couldn’t wait to take their son home from hospital and introduce him to his brother and the rest of the family. Since the winter was pretty harsh, they knew they had to make the place warm an cozy for the newborn.
But, they encountered a problem. The furnace in the house stopped working in the middle of the freezing weather, and just before the arrival of Maria and the baby.
Maria Hulscher
Jesse was left alone with his 2-year-old to come up with a quick solution. He was pretty worried because he knew that companies offering repairing services are often very busy and he wasn’t sure whether they could act fast.
“Instantly I panicked,” Jesse said. “I have a two-year-old here, a newborn coming home in a couple days and this was before the big potential snow storm.”
Jesse called Magnuson Sheet Metal to ask them if they could come and fix the furnace before he brought his wife and newborn son home. Jesse’s voice was trembling as he was speaking with the co-owner Craig Aurand who could easily notice that Jesse was in a desperate need of help, so he decided to offer it to the worried father. Just 20 minutes after they spoke on the phone there was someone at the front door. When Jesse opened it he couldn’t believe the staff of Magnuson Sheet Metal could have arrived that quickly.
“He said ‘the fan’s not working, the furnace isn’t working, my wife is in the hospital, we just had a baby yesterday,’” Aurand recalled. “I just said take it easy, we’ll be right there.”
The company repaired the furnace in no time. The heating was on again and now everything was prepared for the big moment.
But, acting quickly and efficiently wasn’t the only thing about the company that stunned Jesse. When he asked for the receipt, he was left in awe once again. Instead of listing the amount of money he should have paid, they left a heartwarming note.
“I opened it up and looked at the receipt and it said, ‘no charge, take care of the new baby,’” Jesse said. While Maria recalled, “I was like, ‘what? No. This can’t be real.’ And he’s like, ‘I know I can’t believe it either.’”
It appeared that Magnuson Sheet Metal was a company known for doing good deeds for people who are in need of their services by not charging families for small jobs which happen on holidays. Things like these make the world a better place.
“We didn’t do it for the PR, we just did it to be good people. That’s it. Just to be nice to these people,” he said. “That’s what this is about.”
There seems to be a never-ending issue with poaching. The sad truth is some species are so close to being extinct because of this ‘trophy hunting.’ Often killed for their horns, rhinos are at risk from poaching too.
Recently, rescuers stumble across a mama rhino killed by poachers. They had set upon the baby too. Rescuers found the sweet baby lying next to her dead mother unsure of how to live.
Upon crossing the scene, rescuers realized the baby was still alive. Too late to save the mother, they hoped they could at least save the baby.
They took the baby to Care for the Wild Rhino Sanctuary. The poor rhino was in poor condition. He had one toenail cut to the nail bed, a machete wound on his back, and seemed horrified.
Petronel Niewouldt of the Care for Wild Team said,“It was instinctive for him to try and stay close to his mother to protect her, and the poachers with no sympathy or hesitation whatsoever lashed out at him so that they could finish their heinous crime of taking his mother’s horn as quickly as possible.”
After sedating the rhino, a surgeon operated on the wounds.
The rescuers say that the baby, now named Arthur, is now doing well in recovery. Sadly though, he still searches for his mother. Not understanding she’ll never return, he still calls for her. This sound is heartwrenching.
“He still calls for his mother, it is a heart-wrenching sound and one that he should never have to make. Her death will affect him emotionally long after his physical wounds have healed.”
In the wild, a mother stays with their child for nearly four years. She teaches the baby everything they need to know then. Even if he could have survived the wounds, he would be unable to continue and defend himself.
We’re never getting tired of good jokes that bring laughter and improve our mood. The following is oldie but goodie.
Two women go out one night without their husbands.
They go to a bar, have a chat along with a couple of drinks and then head back home.
On the way home one of them turns to the other and says:
“Sorry, but I need to go to a toilet. Can we stop for a minute?”
The other looks at her and replies “I also have to go there, but where can we go in the middle of the street?”
“Oh, look, there is a cemetery over there we can go there.”
“Yes, but how are we going to wipe?”
“I’m just going to use my underwear and throw it out.”
Her friend however, was wearing her favorite (and rather expensive knickers) and didn’t want to ruin them. So she elected to take a wreath off a nearby grave and use that.And so they went home.
The next day the husband of one was concerned that his normally sweet and innocent wife was hungover and still in bed, so he phoned the other.
“Do you know where our wives went last night? Because mine came back home with no underwear.”
“Well you are luckier than me, my wife came home with a ribbon in her butt and on the ribbon it was written: ‘From all of us at the Fire Station. We’ll never forget you.’ ”
SHARE if it made you LAUGH!
Lots of people these days live on fixed income which may be quite low and insufficient for covering all their needs. This is especially true for the elderly people who are not able to work any longer and have no chance of making any money on the side. So, sometimes the choice is either food or the necessary medications. If they can’t afford gas for their vehicle, it makes things even harder, especially going to the doctor’s.
Luckily, there are people out there who believe in making good deeds. It’s not unusual those people to be random strangers ready to give a helping hand to those in need like this elderly lady from Michigan.

Seth Kazz was working at his family’s Citgo gas station in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, when he noticed a senior citizen at the gas pumps. She relied on a cane and struggled to walk into the gas station.
When she made her way to the counter, she took her money out all she had in her pocket was $3 for gas. A police officer was standing behind her and watched the woman’s predicament unfold before him with genuine concern.

The officer followed the woman outside to her car and ordered her to sit in her vehicle. Seth watched from the window as he then volunteered to pump her gas for her.
After chatting for some time, the officer realized that after spending those $3 dollars on gas, the lady was left with nothing, and he also knew that little money in gas won’t take her very far.
“He told her to hang tight – came inside and got her another $20 in gas out of his pocket.”
The officer resumed pumping her gas and learned that the woman was a recent widow. Every month, she has difficulty paying the bills.
“This $20 really helped her! She would have most likely ended up running out of gas. Nowadays there’s so much negativity towards police officers. No one respects them. We hear all the complaints and ‘bad’ stories. I’m not saying every officer is perfect, I’m sure some are at fault at times. We all make mistakes- but we should all respect, appreciate, and thank them for what they do.”
Love What Matters
Watching what this officer did, and how he paid for the senior citizen’s gas when she was low on funds made Seth respect officers more. He felt he had to share this heartwarming story with Love That Matters.
He had to highlight the compassion one officer showed toward someone in need. It proved that there really are wonderful people in this world.
Seth gave a shout out to this officer and sent a big thank you to him. We would have to agree — thank you officer for your kindness!
Grandma Franklin is a total opposite of what comes to our mind when we hear the word ‘granny’. The Franklin Family Talent Show is just around the corner and Grandma has a special surprise for the family. She’s showing some bold moves in her performance that vent viral in the blink of an eye and left everyone stunned. This granny will certainly impress you, because you don’t get to see a dancing act from a 85-year-old that often.

Even though moving around gets harder in our old age, Your Care Everywhere says that dancing is a great way to remain active – even during the chilly winter months! The site explains that dancing has a variety of important benefits for people young and old. Besides the obvious physical benefits, dancing can help older folks socialize and keep their minds sharp. Instead of sleeping the days away, dancing brings people together and gets them talking to one another. Signing up for a dance class is a great way to meet friends, stay active and keep your brain churning by learning a new skill! There’s no reason why your age should determine what activities you can and can’t do.

Thankfully, Beth’s mother understands how important it is to get up and going – so she gladly comes up with the perfect talent show routine. Rather than bore the group with a song from her past or try to regale them with a strange party trick, Grandma Franklin performs the Cupid Shuffle! This upbeat song is usually played in middle school dances, not for an 85-year-old woman to bop to in the living room. As soon as the song starts playing, the entire family goes wild. You can’t imagine how they react when she actually begins to dance. Take a peek at their reaction in the video below. Grandma Franklin sure knows how to boogie!
Tyrone Wells is a well known singer and a songwriter who’s got a successful career, 11 albums to his name and lots of fans who enjoy his music. However, his biggest admirer is his sweet baby girl Aria. It’s really heartwarming how this cutie can only be calmed down by the soothing sound of her father’s voice. His presence along with his adorable singing makes wonders for his daughter. She’s simply mesmerized and listens the songs with admiration and we can’t hide our excitement watching this father-daughter bonding.

While babies certainly hear their mother’s voice in the womb more often, Parenting Magazine says that it’s equally as important for fathers to speak to their children before they’re born. The site explains, “Research shows that unborn babies can recognize their mother’s (and possibly their father’s) voice starting at 32 weeks. So belt out your best karaoke, read [the baby] an article from Esquire or just let [them] know how your day went.” Clearly, Tyrone did the same thing and built a bond with his baby girl before she was born. So now, when she’s feeling down, frustrated or sleepy, Dad’s voice is all she needs to calm down.

As soon as Dad starts to sing, Aria’s face lights up. An ear-to-ear smile spreads and she listens intently – even mouthing a few words all by herself. Take a peek at this sweet family moment in the video below. You can’t help but crack a smile and shed a tear or two as she sings along with her daddy! Their heartwarming daddy-daughter relationship will only grow stronger as she grows older.
