Elderly Man Looks Mom In Eye And Gives Advice About Kids

Many times life changes in an instant. Something or someone comes along the way and changes the way we perceive the things that are truly important.

A mother of four named Leanne was doing her shopping when she stumbled upon a complete stranger who approached her and said,“I need to tell you something.” Little did she know this encounter will affect her so deeply.

Leanne runs a blog called“Life Happens When” where she shares inspiring stories that remind us what life really is all about.

On her Facebook page she shared how a gentleman approach her, and without beating around the bush went straight to what he believes was important for him to share with this young mother.

“Have you ever had a conversation with a total stranger and later realize that person must have been sent by God?”

She believes this stranger was exactly that, sent from God to remind her of the real values of our existence. It appeared that he first spotted Leanne while she was pushing a cart full of groceries and two of her kids sitting on top of them. The kind man took the time to tell this family how cute they were and went on his way.

When they stumbled upon each other again, the stranger felt the need to share a story with this mother.

“He then began a story about when his son was five years old. His son had asked him to build a birdhouse. He told him no because he was really busy with “important” things for work. He watched his disappointed five year old slump off without crying or making a scene, and suddenly he felt terrible for breaking his son’s heart. He called his son back to him. Together they went to the store to buy the materials and they built the birdhouse.”

Now, 40 years after that birdhouse was built, it’s still there, reminding him of those precious moments spent with his son that he will cherish until the last day of his life. He also told Leanne that even after such a long time, he remembers that day as if it was yesterday.

“My eyes immediately flooded with tears. Even though I’m with my kids for the majority of our days, I don’t always devote myself fully to them. I halfheartedly do activities with them. I fuss at them. I get distracted by chores and my to do list and my phone. This man may never know just how much he stopped me in my tracks, helped me adjust my priorities, and inspired me to slow down and be more intentional with my family.”

We should all learn from this man’s story. Family really is the most important thing and we should always find a way and the time to have fun together and make memories.

12-Year-Old Bravely Helps Deliver Her Baby Brother

Sometimes things don’t go as planned, but luckily, for one family they turned even better than expected.

Dede Carraway was about to give birth to her son, and the delivery turned into a touching family moment none of them will ever forget. This mother-to-be could never in her wildest dreams imagine who will help deliver her baby boy.

Dede has a 12-year-old girl named Jacee who was beyond excited to welcome her little brother into this world. But just as the process was about to start, Jacee got really concerned that she would miss the whole thing.

“I started crying because I thought I wasn’t going to get to see him be born, because I was too short.”

However, Dr. Wolf wouldn’t let that happen because he knew how much it meant for the girl to witness the birth of her sibling.

To everyone’s surprise, he made an unusual request, asking Jacee to step in and help him deliver the baby. Both the mother and the daughter felt confused at first but then realized it was an awesome idea.

Jacee told WS News Now it was a once in a lifetime experience.

“I actually delivered him, he let me actually push down and pull the baby out…. I was like, wow, like I’ve played fake doctor before, but this is the real thing, this is is the real deal. I was really nervous.”

The delivery wasn’t easy for Dede because her epidural wasn’t working and she was in so much pain, but looking at her daughter’s face and seeing how excited she was gave her strength.

After a couple of pushes, Dr. Wolf and Jacee had baby Cayson Carraway in their hands. Everyone was over the moon.

Dede told WS News Now how she felt.

“Seeing the emotions on her face, it made me cry. I’m about to cry now! It was just a good moment for me.”

Jacee was so good at what she did that she’ll probably pursue a career as an OB-GYN.

We are sure the bond between these lovely siblings will be as unique as their first encounter.

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.

Former Miss Universe Makes Headlines For Remark When Giving Up Crown

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.
