Man’s Small Act Of Kindness Rewarded With 5000% Tip

We’ve witnesses many times in life how an act of kindness, no matter how big or small, can go a long way and even change someone’s life forever. Being there for other people when they need us the most is what makes the world go round. 

Take a look at the following story that will remind you that no good deed ever goes unnoticed.

A young boy approached the counter of Freddy’s Frozen Custard and Steakburgers in Katy, Texas, with a handful of coins, trying to pay for a frozen dessert. Travis Sattler, the guy behind the register, took the money  and after carefully counting it, he could see the boy was $2 short.

“He wants to order dessert,” said Sattler. “He was a little nervous. Ends up handing me everything he had.”

YouTube

Sattler couldn’t let the boy leave the store without the treat so he pulled his credit card and paid the rest of the money.

“It’s on me,” the cashier said, and the child was very thankful. “He had the biggest eyes, the widest smile.”

Some time later, before that same boy and his  mother left the store, he approached Sattler again and handed him a note.

“It says, ‘Thank you for being so nice and paying for my custard. We need more people like you,’” Sattler read.

YouTube

Wrapped inside the note was a $100 bill. Sattler couldn’t believe how his $2 dollars brought him a tip so huge. He was rewarded for his kind heart, and he was beaming with joy knowing he made an impact and made someone’s day. 

“I like to think that I made a good impact on their day, and I kind of brightened it up, just like they did mine,” Sattler said.

Sattler says that it’s not about the money but about that feeling of fulfillment knowing you are a hero in the eyes of a little boy who may just follow your example and become a good person. 

YouTube

Both Travis and the boy were complete strangers before that day, but still they managed to share a very special moment none of them will ever forget. 

“Travis’ face is probably a face that boy will remember for a long time,” said Padden Nelson, owner of the Katy location of the franchise.

As good news spreads really fast, Travis’ deed was noticed by the restaurant owner who rewarded the generous employee with additional $100.

Travis is an example of how every employee should treat the customers. 

YouTube

The restaurant now wants to track the boy and his mother down because they have some gifts for them. Everyone is happy how this story turned out, with many people wanting to do a good deed themselves. Travis and the boy are such inspiration. 

Check the video below to see what Travis has to say about the whole thing in his interview for USA Today. 

Muslim-owned restaurant hangs huge note out front about Christmas day that’s going quickly viral

It’s simply amazing how the holidays bring in people the need to be kinder towards the less fortunate and spread more love to everyone around. It’s the Christmas spirit that makes us think of the way we treat others and how we can become better people and an important part of our community.

What everyone strives for when it comes to the holidays is to spend them in the company of the loved ones. Unfortunately, not everyone is lucky to be around family and friends for the special day. Many homeless people on the streets and elderly whose families seem to have forgotten about them are about to be all alone and not able to feel warmth or kindness on the day that’s all about spreading love and good vibes, and that really saddens our hearts.

Helping these people and making them feel important should be our number one priority, no matter their or our religion, or race.

A restaurant owner from London is showing us what Christmas is all about by doing an amazing act of kindness. He opens the doors to the place and offers free courses of meal for those who have no family or friends. Hasan Masud is a Muslim, and he doesn’t celebrate Christmas, but he is a generous and kindhearted man whose action touched the hearts of many. His sign has gone viral and people from all around the world regard him as an amazing guy whose example we should all follow. 

In this restaurant that serves traditional Turkish food, no one dines alone!

The restaurant, named Shish is located in Bexley, London. The owner spread the word through social media to benefit maximum people who can try the delicious taste of the Turkish specialties.

The menu for the occasion will include starters like soup and cacik. The main course will include chicken or vegetarian casserole or chicken shish. There will be rice pudding for dessert.

“We’re just helping people,” Hasan Masud, an employee at the restaurant, told Buzzfeed. “Lots of people stay home alone for Christmas. They don’t need to. They can come here and have some fun.”

“We are here to sit with you,” owner wrote in a note about the offer posted to the restaurant window.

This could be one of the most charming Christmas stories we’ve stumbled upon.

Please share it with your family and friends. 

GENTRI Sings “O Holy Night” Perfectly In Their New Video

As we are all anticipating the arrival of the holidays, many musicians and singers try to lift up high the Christmas spirit by treating the listeners with amazing and breathtaking renditions of the songs that grew close to our hearts because they are the true melody of Christmas.

The trio GENTRI released an alluring performance of “O Holy Night” and proved their talents once again. Their dazzling voices blend in a perfect harmony that creates a feeling of warmth. In a very powerful way, these men bring to us the true meaning of Christmas. 

The song comes with a video which is as powerful as the soothing sound they create. 


YouTube

The story that follows the song is about a father who’s doing final preparations for the most beautiful time of the year. At one moment, he comes across a homeless man who offers him to help attach the Christmas tree to the top of the car. Throughout the rest of the video, the father can’t stop thinking of the homeless man sitting on the cold all alone. That’s when he decides to do something in the spirit of Christmas, and that’s to provide kindness and a helping hand to someone in need. Isn’t that what Christmas is all about? 

He tracks the man down and what follows is simply heartwarming.

Doing the “right thing” is something the men of GENTRI want their listeners to feel inspired to do after listening to their music. They told the Prelude Press:

“We wanted to make sure that the messages conveyed in our songs were those that challenged the listener to live life more fully and love more deeply. The messages of these songs are an extension of the core message of GENTRI itself. When it comes to self-improvement and trying to be better today than we were yesterday, we are certainly no exception…”


YouTube

“We wanted the music and lyrics to reflect the things that matter most to us – relationships with family, chasing our dreams, and living life to the fullest. The biggest challenge when writing and recording an album always seems to be putting it all together in a way that comes across as authentic. “

The video ends with the text from Matthew 25:40 on the screen, “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.”

Being there for those who are facing hard times in life is what makes us good Christians, not the presents we buy for each other, but what we do for the less fortunate.

We as well hope that this amazing performance along with the video will inspire many people to do the right thing.

Watch these gentlemen’s video below and remember that even a small act of kindness can go a long way. 

Dad Records Doctor Laughing and Making Fun Of Son’s Anxiety Attack

A California doctor has been suspended from her duties as an emergency room physician and is being investigated after a video shows her grabbing and mocking a patient who reportedly was suffering from an anxiety attack.

Samuel Bardwell is a college athlete who suffers from severe anxiety and panic attacks. Recently he suffered one that was so serious it caused him to collapse during a summer basketball class.

His coach, Scott Eitelgeorge said Bardwell was struggling.

“He wasn’t looking too good,” the coach said. “It looked like he was having a pretty severe anxiety attack. Sam played for maybe five minutes before he had to step out. He collapsed on the grass outside the weight room. When we went outside he tried to get up but fell back down.”

To keep his condition under control Samuel takes Klonopin, his dad Donald Bardwell told The Mercury News.

“He was on medication for his anxiety but was off his meds for two days because he couldn’t get to the pharmacy before it closed,” Donald Bardwell said.

The situation was serious enough that Samuel, 20, was rushed by paramedics to El Camino Hospital in Los Gatos, California.

Donald and his son assumed they would receive professional help at the hospital. They assumed the young man would be helped in a timely and benevolent manner.

The doctor who treated Samuel sure proved that to be wrong!

Doctor Had A Horrible Bedside Manner

Keegstra was allegedly rude and physically abusive to Bardwell. Image courtesy of Donald Bardwell via Facebook. 

Her behavior was captured on video. As a result, she was suspended when the hospital got wind of  it. The two men say they waited in the hospital for an absurdly long time as the doctor allegedly laughed and chatted with her co-workers.

Keegstra can be heard harshly mocking newly enrolled West Valley College student on the video. 

“I’m sorry sir, you were the least sick of all the people who are here who are dying,” she says in the video. “There, so you picked your head up. Now don’t try to tell me you can’t move. C’mon, sit up.”

She tugs his arm, telling him to sit up. Bardwell tells her he can’t get up and can’t inhale.

Her response?

“He can’t inhale. Wow! He must be dead. Are you dead, sir?

Doctor turns belligerent

At one point, she can even be heard swearing, having accused Bardwell of changing his story about why he was in the emergency room, ABC News reports.

“You’re full of sh*t,” she can be heard saying.

Watch the doctor in this video below

This is how they treat people in Los Gatos emergency room. SMH Everyone share this video. For the record this is my son.

Keegstra, a practicing physician for 31 years found herself suspended from all of the facilities associated with the hospital. In a statement, Dan Wood, chief executive officer of El Camino Hospital said her “demeanor was unprofessional and not the standard we require of all who provide care through El Camino Hospital.”

“We have expressed our sincere apologies and are working directly with the patient on this matter,” Wood said. “Please know that we take this matter very seriously and the contracted physician involved has been removed from the work schedule, pending further investigation.”

And Donald Bardwell seemed to concur with Wood that the doctor acted in a manner that was “unprofessional.” 

“In my mind, I don’t think she should be practicing medicine at all,” he said during an interview on Good Morning America.

Keegstra appears to berate the patient. Screenshot by Donald Bardwell via Facebook

Samuel Bardwell says he asked his dad to videotape the situation after noticing Keegstra eyeing him suspiciously while talking to a security guard in the emergency room.

In an interview with Inside Edition, Samuel Bardwell says he made every effort to sit up but was unable to. Screenshot by Inside Edition via YouTube.

Bardwell says he knew trouble might be brewing because the doctor kept eyeing him suspiciously while she was talking to a security guard in the waiting room. So he asked his dad to grab his phone and start taking a video.

Anxiety is a common problem in the U.S.

A patient can’t be bullied out of an anxiety attack. Doing something this callous is sure to make it worse. Anxiety disorders are the most common form of mental illness in the U.S. They affect 40 million adults each year in the U.S., the Anxiety and Depression Association of America reports.

Samuel Bardwell was struggling or he wouldn’t have gone to the emergency room. What this doctor did is inexcusable.

Here’s what he has to say in the video below.

Dad Creates DIY ‘Monster Spray’ For His Daughter

It’s an undeniable fact that there is no such power on Earth as the father-daughter love. It’s so cute how daddies would do anything for their sweet little angels, even when they are all grown up. Making sure they are safe and sound is always a number one priority. 

Talking about dads, I guess it’s safe to say they are the real life superheroes. 

YouTube

Mya is an adorable girl who faces the fears most kids her age do, the one from monsters. How come these tiny smarty pants be afraid of something that doesn’t really exist? Well, we know they are not real, but explaining it to the children can be a bit difficult. 

Nowadays there are quite a lot of fun movies and cartoons featuring cute monsters so that kids get rid of the ones in their head, but sometimes that doesn’t help either. 

YouTube

While most other dads will check for the big scary creatures under the bed or inside the closet telling their kids there are none any to be spotted and then just ask them to go to sleep, Aaron Wilson knows better and has an ingenious plan on how to turn that fear into a fun activity. 

YouTube

When interviewed by CTV News, Aaron told them more about Mya’s fears.

“At night time, she was always saying there are monsters in her room. There was something here, there was something there.”

He started getting concern and knew he had to do something regarding his daughter’s fears when he realized it really affected her sleeping at night. She was restless and constantly looking around instead of being sound asleep during the night. 

He got her a prescription monster spray from the local pharmacy that she could use to get rid of all of the monsters! Isn’t this the ultimate and most entertaining fighting weapon? He even glued the prescription on the bottle so it looks real.

YouTube

As you may be guessing, the inside of the ‘magic monster chaser’ was filled with water. 

Turns out it helped the cutie pie get rid of the scary creatures and it also caught the attention of other parents whose kids are facing the same issue. The pharmacy now gets many requests for the famous monster spray. 

The pharmacist really liked Aaron’s idea and told CTV News:

“I thought it was really cute and I said that is a neat idea and I hope it works!”

“We’ve been trying to tell her for a while, they’re trying to be your friends and not to worry.”

Salesman in Costco is Joined For an Adele Duet and Goes Viral

Some people are lucky to be gifted with special skills. We know of very famous singers, actors, or maybe football players, who are the best at what they do, and they do it with ease. Sometimes, watching them singing, or playing, makes us believe we can rock it as well, but as soon as we try we figure out it requires a lot of practice to master it, or simply a raw God-given talent. 

It’s always a pleasure to learn how these people are getting a chance in life to make an impression, either by attending some talent shows, or casually showing off at the local Costco store. Yes, you’ve heard that right.

One such case is when a customer and a salesman sat down on the piano for an amazing duet of “Someone Like You.”

Once they started playing, many of the customers approached and were wowed by what they were seeing and hearing. Luckily, someone though of capturing this adorable duet on video so that we can enjoy it too. They sound so good that a father and a son could be spotted dancing in the background. 

The video was initially posted on YouTube a couple of years ago, but it’s so captivating that it vent viral again. Well, it’s not everyday that we witness a live piano concert at a store. People from all around the world are adding comments with words of praise. Although some kids could be heard playing on other pianos, it doesn’t  make the whole experience less magical. 

The girl from the video says how this was one of the best days of her life. She even made some more videos of playing the piano after a huge number of people witnessed her talent. 

Costco seem to be the place of inspiration, because this wasn’t the first time someone to be spotted playing the piano there. The video shows a young boy playing a song from memory, and it’s amazing. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0phAtbIf8A#action=share

The boy’s performance has been seen more than two million times and people sometimes joke how this store might be the perfect place to be noticed and become a star. But it looks like these talent discovering situations can be seen in other similar places where lots of people go in and out, such as Wal-Mart. Maybe you remember young Mason Ramsey who was seen yodeling at one of these stores. 

He became so famous that even Ellen hosted him in one of her shows.

There is another similar story coming from Paris. This didn’t happen at any store but a real magic unfolded in front of the eyes of the passersby when a random stranger approached the man playing and asks to join in. The final result is so good that it’s a must watch. 

Then there is this random guy who masters Jerry Lewis’ “Whole Lotta Shaking Going On” at a hardware store. 

I wish I have the chance to stumble upon a performance of this kind while doing my groceries. I guess it’s sort of amazing to witness someone unfolding their talent right in front of you. 

I hope this article and all these stories will inspire you to show your skills, of course if you have them!

Jenna Shares Heartbreaking Confession From Grandpa George

 

Our beloved former president Geogre W. Bush left this world recently and we are yet to understand his true greatness as a politician who had done a lot for our country, and as an emotional human being who never got over the grief for the loss of his young daughter. 

The relationship and the marriage of George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara was indeed one-of-a-kind. They had been through so much during the seven decades of married life and raised five children together. They welcomed six into the world, but in 1953 a tragedy struck the Bush family when their daughter Robin was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of three. 


Twitter/Bush Library

The passing of little Robin affected George’s life. He would often write letters to family members, particularly his mother, expressing how he felt regarding the tragic loss. 

In the wake of his death, the Bush library released one of the letters the President addressed to his mother back in 1958 saying how they still felt Robin’s presence, even years after her death. The bereaved parents found a little comfort in their mission to fight against cancer “for the rest of their lives.” 

“There is about our house a need. We need some soft blonde hair to offset those crew cuts. We need a dollhouse to stand firm against our forts and racquets and thousand baseball cards. We need someone who’s afraid of frogs. We need a little one who can kiss without leaving egg or jam or gum. We need a girl. We had one once — she’d fight and cry and play and make her way, just like the rest. But there was about her a certain softness. She was patient. Her hugs were a just little less wiggly. We need her and yet we have her. We can’t touch her and yet we can feel her. We hope she’ll stay in our house for a long, long time.”


heavy.com

Editorial cartoonist Marshall Ramsey decided to honor the late president with a drawing of George arriving to Heaven holding hands with the two great loves of his life. The picture portrays Barbara welcoming her husband saying “We waited for you.”

Months before George reunited with his beloved wife and daughter, he spoke to his granddaughter Jenna Bush Hagar, telling her how he wasn’t afraid of dying any longer, but somehow looking forward to meet Barbara and Robin again. 

Jenna shared her grandfather thoughts right after his passing along with the cartoon drawing that provided her with comfort. She truly believes that’s exactly where he is.   

“Well, when I die, I’m going to be reunited with the people I’ve lost. I hope I see Robin, and I hope I see my mom. I haven’t yet figured out if it will be Robin as the three year old that she was, this kind of chubby, vivacious child or if she’ll come as a middle-aged woman, an older woman… I hope she’s the three-year-old.”

He was a great man who had sorrow in his heart. Now the whole nation mourns the loss of a beloved president and person.  

Our condolences go to his family. He will never be forgotten!

Mom Fears That 2-Year-Old Won’t Recognize Her Soldier Dad

Being in the military means being a hero to a whole nation of people who understand and appreciate your courage and your sacrifice. It also means risking your life and very often being far from your loved ones. These men and women don’t have it easy. 

I guess the best part of their service abroad are the sweet reunions once they get back home. 

Now if you believe you’ve seen emotional encounters of soldiers and their families, wait until you see this tear-jerking homecoming.

Sergeant Brenden Taylor and his wife Amanda are proud parents of two adorable girls. But, only nine months after their second child was born, Sgt. Taylor was deployed.

Amanda and the girls missed him so much, and couldn’t wait for him to be back home. They know their brave husband and father thinks of them all the time, and loves them with all his heart.

However, Amanda was left to take care of the kids all by herself. She felt as though she couldn’t do it any longer, and wanted her husband by her side. But, her main concern was that once he is home, their older daughter, who is 2,5 years old may not remember him or recognize him after so much time.

This mother recalls the day her husband left the country, and how their daughter was puzzled about where her daddy went and why he wasn’t there to embrace her and comfort her while she suffered from a stomach bug.

Realizing how deeply the father’s absence affected her daughter broke Amanda’s heart into pieces, so she did her best to cheer the girls up every single day.

She knew that negativity wouldn’t help anyone, so she tried to turn those feelings around. The creative mother even came up with a brilliant idea of how to make the waiting ‘more bearable’ by creating many fun games of counting the days of Brenden’s homecoming.

The big moment of the so much-anticipated reunion was coming closer. After long 175 days, Sgt. Taylor would finally get to hold their daughters in his arms. This was going to be a moment to remember. Assuming this, Amanda hired a professional photographer to immortalize the sweet encounter so they could cherish it forever.

As the family was impatiently waiting, a bus full of marines approached. Amanda’s fears faded away and she set her mind at rest as their daughter recognized a familiar face among the heroes who were all eager to meet those who made them endure even the hardest battles. 

The little girl shouted ‘Daddy, get off the bus!’ with excitement and a smile so big that it covered her whole tiny face.

Running right into daddy’s arms, the family was now together again. Everyone was having a blast as they had the sweetest and most heartwarming group hug we’ve ever seen.

“I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a smile from my husband like I did that day when he finally got his little girls in his arms again,” Amanda said. “Deployments end, love doesn’t.”

Photographer Maddie Short has filmed plenty of beautiful moments, but she says that homecomings such as this one will always hold a special place in her heart.

“Homecomings hold such a special place in my heart but this family, in particular, is one of the reasons why I love shooting homecomings so much!,” she wrote on Facebook.

“175 days away from everything you know and the people you love most! I couldn’t be more excited for this little family! Welcome home, Sgt Taylor! Your girls sure did miss you!”

4-yr-old boy has had enough of shoveling snow so he sends Jesus a hilarious message that’s winning the internet

No matter how much we love winter and all the fun that comes along with this cool season, we sometimes get stuck into the piles of snow and don’t feel like going out on the cold weather. I guess many opt for the coziness of the home over the outdoors. However, this isn’t usually the case with young kids.

For the little ones, winter is the ultimate time of the year. They associate it with Christmas and the fun they have while building the most favorite snowman. 

The kid from the video below got fed up with spending the days inside the house and begged his mother to let him enjoy the snow. She said yes, dressed him in some warm clothes, and the two started an adventure.

However, what happened once he was out makes everyone burst out laughing. Luckily, the mom had her camera and managed to capture her son’s goofy moment. 

More than one million people got to enjoy the hilarious request this kiddo asked from Jesus. If you think he wanted a present such as a sledge, skis, or other equipment to make his time on the snow more enjoyable, you are wrong.

It appeared that he didn’t really like the winter as he first thought so he looked up the sky and begged for some warmer weather. 

His mom started laughing really hard and though it would be nice if she share the innocent moment with the rest of us, and we are glad she did it. 

Check the video below to see how he did it.

Men Of Celtic Thunder Wow Audience With Hallelujah Performance

With all the excitement of wrapping presents, decorating the Christmas tree, the cards in the mail, stockings full with presents, and everything that goes along with the holiday season, we sometimes forget what Christmas is really all about. 

It’s the most wonderful time of the year that celebrates the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ, and his love for us. So it’s the perfect time to show your family and friends how much they mean to you and how lucky you are to have them in your life. 

Every once in a while we are treated by amazing performances of songs whose lyrics remind us to focus on the real reasons of the celebration. The latest performance leaves us speechless for it might be the most powerful rendition of late Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” by the eclectic Irish singing group Celtic Thunder.

YouTube

This group’s concerts and live shows are best known for the theatrical style and the visual effects. Damian McGinty the group vocalist told AXS that what they do and how they tour together is a dream come true.

McGinty said:

“Every day you get to travel to a new and different city, but every night you have to do the same task –deliver a high standard of performance. So on a daily basis, it’s never the same, but at the same time, you have to continue to challenge yourself…

Our musical director, David Munro, brings a wealth of material and knowledge. He has a big say in creating what goes into the shows and records. David knows our voices and only picks material that he knows we can deliver both as individuals and as an ensemble. But there’s no magic formula. You start by stripping it all back to the fundamentals and then building the foundation from the ground up. That means getting all of the guys around the piano and determining which voice part works best for each person…”

YouTube

“Celtic Thunder has really grown and has turned into something that has its own life. It allows artists to be individuals as well as challenges them to come together as an ensemble piece. It’s something we’re all very passionate about. We’ve only done a few shows for this tour but it’s already been incredible and the reaction has been outstanding.”

Singing “Hallelujah” in the video below is so emotional that is may bring you to tears. The members’ unique voices blend together in such a perfect harmony that will make you fall in love with the heavenly melody and the hauntingly beautiful performance. 

Thank you, Celtic Thunder for treating us with such powerful emotions.

Ellen Plays Best Prank Ever On Giving Elementary School Teacher

I’ve recently came across a nice saying one of my teacher friends posted that goes “Sometimes I wonder if I have made the right decision becoming a teacher, but then I remember no other job allows you to watch tiny humans grow into amazing people because you never gave up on them,” and honestly, it made me realize how special, caring, and compassionate one has to be in order to become a teacher.

Joe Dombrowski is one of those educators that makes a difference in the life of his students by creating fun and engaging lessons that encourage them to always strive for more and become good people. All this makes him feel beyond happy for being a teacher. 

Mr. D became famous because of his brilliant idea to prank his students by giving them a spelling test using extremely difficult words they’ve never heard before. He knew this was going to be fun, but never though the amusing footage could go viral and make so many people laugh. It even caught the attention of our favorite host and ultimate prankster Ellen DeGeneres.  

YouTube

Mr. D, as his students like to call him, told NBC 25 that when he posted the clip he never assumed it would be seen nearly six million times. He believes that’s huge and explains how getting the call from Ellen blew him away. 

“I woke up the next morning and there were a million views and then the next day there were 20 million views, and I have Ellen on the other line in a week so never did I ever think it would turn in to what I’m doing today.”

Ellen invited Mr. D on the show and though it would be nice if she plays a prank on him, after which she handed him a check for $10,000. It didn’t really come as surprise when we learned how the kind-hearted teacher decided to spend all of the money for the school.

He later told NBC 25 the reason behind this decision, saying:

“I like to say teachers do the best work when we work with each other and there are so many teachers around the world sharing their craft to help other teachers get better and give the best to our students who are really why we are doing what we are doing.”

YouTube

The compassionate educator didn’t fail to amaze us again by putting his students and their needs before his own. This made Ellen invite him to the show once again and do another prank. Mr. D was stunned to see all of his students on the set of the show. 

Once he saw them coming, he knew Ellen was up to something. 

The show turned into a never ending series of amazing surprises. This really lift the holiday spirit and once again reminded us that Christmas is all about loving each other. Take a look at the videos of Mr. D’s appearances on The Ellen Show and remember that sharing is caring. 

Make sure you surprise someone you love this season.

Clydesdale Christmas TV Clip From 1987 Is Full Of Holiday Magic

Nothing speaks Christmas as the companies’ commercials that remind us the most exciting and most fun-filling holiday is approaching.

The mashup you are about to listen to might be the most unique blending of two highly demanding songs to perform you’ve ever heard. 

She perfectly combines the holiday classic “O Holy Night” with the iconic “Hallelujah” by the late Leonard Cohen. The way the first song smoothly transitions into the other is not something many artists can do, but Jennifer does it with ease. 

The final result is a perfect treat for the ears that leaves us speechless and eager for more.

This first female artist to be the solo songwriter on an ACM Song of the Year since 1972 created the ultimate Christmas album. It’s all about loving each other and staying true to the tradition and the real values of life. 

This live performance at SiriusXM, however, is indeed unbeatable. 

People are commenting how amazing and talented she is. One person says: “I’ve always loved the way she always seems to become one with the song. It’s like she’s lost in the music….. The way it should be. Stunning!” and another person adds: “She could move Mountains with her voice, Thank You for that.”

This rendition is one-of-a-kind, just like the singer herself. Her distinctive voice and unbelievable commitment to the songs makes her our favorite country singer. The guitar gives even stronger effect and the overall experience is out of this world, heavenly and divine.

Listen to her incredible talent in the video below. It’s a pure bliss. 

Rich man tries to belittle woman because she doesn’t earn as much

Many times society underestimates the importance of the teachers and educators. The devastating fact that they receive unfair remuneration speaks a lot about the poor priorities of our country.

These people share a great responsibility in the process of shaping our kids’ future and turning them into good people, but still, their hard work is not appreciated. Constantly torn between a bunch of deadlines, numerous papers to grade, conducting everyday evaluations of each student’s performance, and a lot more, leaves them exhausted, but they never fail to find the strength to be the inspiration the little minds need in order to grow into amazing humans.

During an occasion, one CEO started explaining the problem with education, arguing, “What’s a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become a teacher?”

He reminded the other dinner guests what they say about teachers, “Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.”

To emphasize his point he said to another guest; “You’re a teacher, Bonnie. Be honest. What do you make?” Bonnie, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied, “You want to know what I make?” She paused for a second, then began.

“Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could. I make a C+ feel like the Congressional Medal of Honor.”

“I make kids sit through 40 minutes of class time when their parents can’t make them sit for five minutes without an iPod, Game Cube or movie rental.” She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table, and continued, “You want to know what I make?”

“I make kids wonder.”

“I make them question.”

“I make them apologize and mean it.”

“I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.”

“I teach them to write and then I make them write. Keyboarding isn’t everything.”

“I make them read, read, read.”

“I make them show all their work in math. They use their God-given brain, not the man-made calculator.”

“I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know in English while preserving their unique cultural identity.”

“I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.”

“I make my students stand, placing their hand over their heart to say the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag, one nation under God, because we live in the United States of America.”

“I make them understand that if they use the gifts they were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life.”

Pausing one last time, Bonnie continued, “Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, with me knowing money isn’t everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant. You want to know what I make?”

“I make a difference.”

“What do you make, Mr. CEO?”

His jaw dropped, and he was silent.

Please share this story with your family and friends, and don’t forget to thank a teacher whenever you can.

Two Sisters Give Birth To Twins On The Exact Same Day

Becoming a parent is what many people dream of. However, there are lots of couples who struggle to conceive even after years of trying.

Annie Johnston and husband Joby explored all the options, but in vain. The much anticipated news of being pregnant were nowhere to be heard and just as they started losing hope of having a child on their own, Annie’s sister gave them an offer they couldn’t refuse.

However, this couple could never in their wildest dreams imagine this was just the beginning of the amazing and unbelievable things that followed.

Screenshot via YouTube

Chrissy already had two boys and normal and healthy pregnancies. She desperately wanted her younger sister to experience what she had. The fact that Annie couldn’t conceive a child for five years was something that made her heart break.

Chrissy told Daily Mail UK how she felt about her sister’s situation.

“It was heartbreaking. When they started having problems getting pregnant it was devastating to watch.”

She knew she had to do everything in her power to make Annie become a mother, so she got the lovely idea of being her surrogate.

Her sister were completely shocked at first. She couldn’t believe how generous and compassionate Chrissy was. She was willing to carry her sister’s child, and that’s not something many people are willing to do.

The couple was more than happy to give it another try.

The doctors started the procedure by implanting two embryos in Chrissy, and two in Annie, just to give it one last shot.

Shortly after, the family witnessed a true miracle. Both sisters were pregnant. They couldn’t believe what they were hearing and everyone in the family was overwhelmed.

“They found one in me and then they moved over and saw another little sac with another flickering heartbeat, and we knew that we still had Chrissy left to go.”

The shock was even greater when they learned Chrissy was having twins as well. The Johnstons were about to welcome four babies, and they were over the moon.

On the delivery day, they decided Chrissy to be the first to give birth via c-section so that Annie could witness the birth of her twin boys, Charlie and Tommy. After the delivery went smoothly, ir was now Annie’s turn. She gave birth to two healthy baby girls they named Gracie and Haddie.

Annie told Daily Mail UK how exciting everyone was, saying:

“Trying to get at least one baby, we are just so excited to take all four of them home and they’re all healthy.”

The happy parents will certainly have their hands busy raising quadruplets. At least their home will never be a boring place. We hope they all have great life ahead and we congratulate the new parents on their bundles of joy.

Dad punishes daughter for bullying but some believe he took it too far

We guess the award of the parent of the year goes to Matt Cox for his ultimate parenting style. This father decided he wouldn’t put up with his daughter’s bad manners and was ready to show that to the world.

His action was supposed to serve as a reminder and an inspiration for other parents to make sure their kids turn into nice people. However, it resulted in divided opinions, and whereas some believed he came up with the perfect punishment, others say it’s way too strict.  

When we hear of stories of bullying we always feel sorry for the victim, and secretly hope that the bully gets what they deserve. This is exactly what happened to Cox’s daughter. When he learned how his girl was cruel and treated others with disrespect, he simply took some steps to curb her behavior. 

To be honest, you have to see it and decide whether you approve of it or not.

YouTube

One day, Matt’s daughter, Kirsten, entered the house with a guilty look on her face and asked her father if he could give her a lift to school in the following couple of days. That’s when he learned that she was kicked off by the school bus’ driver for picking on another student.

At that same moment he knew he had to stop that from happening ever again. Having a bully under his roof was something he would never allow. Her behavior could not be tolerated and he was going to make sure she understands that. So, instead of driving her to school, he made her walk. However, he followed her with his car, making sure she gets to school safely. 

He uploaded the video on his Facebook page saying:

“I know a lot of you parents are not going to agree with this and that’s all right. I am doing what I think is right to teach my daughter a lesson to stop her from bullying…

Lesson learned. Still has all her extremities intact is happy and healthy and seems to have a new outlook on bullying as well as a new appreciation for some of the simple things in life she used to take for granted.”

YouTube

Despite the fact that people may not agree with his style, Matt told ABC News he refuses to let his daughter be part of the problem. He was ready to do whatever it took to make sure Kirsten is a kind young lady that will never let anyone feel bad because of her. 

“Parents need to hold their kids accountable. So that was me showing how I hold my kid accountable. I’m not going to be another parent that’s just going to brush things under the rug and say, ‘Kids will be kids.'”

Walking to school will certainly stick in the back of Kirsten’s mind the next time she has the urge to pick on someone. That’s for sure!

Man Snaps a Photo of the Postal Worker’s Act In His Neighbor’s Yard and it Goes Viral

The flag is undoubtedly the most adored American symbol. Many believe the attachment to it resembles obsession, but the reality is that Americans truly appreciate everything the Old Glory stands for, and that’s freedom, democracy, the pursuit and fulfillment of dreams, our men and women in uniform. It is closely related to all the core values we as citizens of this country live by.

Everyone, despite their social, racial, or political background is emotionally attached to the Stars and Stripes and they all wave it with dignity.

The way one postal worker paid respect to the flag is so touching that people from all over America share it and praise it.

Regardless of his busy schedule, Robert Franklin took the time to step out of his vehicle and show everyone a true act of patriotism.

Robert, who is also a U.S Army veteran, was at the job in Rochester, New York, trying to meet his grueling schedule when he took a notice of a customer raising the American flag in his yard.

He didn’t think twice before he offered his help which the homeowner politely declined. However, Robert didn’t turn and go away, but stood right there saluting the flag until it was up.

Michael Lempert, a man from the neighborhood, witnessed the whole thing and believed that the postman’s act was so emotional that it was worth sharing. Along with the photo of Robert, Michael wrote:

“It wasn’t until I was at my driveway that I realized the USPS driver was not in the truck, but rather standing at attention next to it, saluting the flag my neighbor was raising. I stopped right there and grabbed my camera off the seat next to me, took off my hat, and captured the moment. I then waited until the flag was fully raised before I walked over to introduce myself, asked him for his permission to share this moment, and thanked him for his service. But again, many thanks to retired U.S. Army sergeant Robert Franklin, who is still serving his country, rain sleet or snow. He is the manifestation of true patriotism, and I am proud to have met him.”

Facebook/Michael Lempert

Facebook user John Haley commented on the post. He loved what Robert did.

“Take notes people. Incredible.”

Although Robert appreciates all the comments from the kind strangers, he believes what he did shouldn’t be considered anything special, because that’s what all Americans should do.

He told the news site Link:

“I hope it encourages other postal employees to participate and share flag etiquette. It’s a way to show as an arm of the federal government, we are the stewards of these customs and courtesies.”

If you believe this is how every citizen should treat our greatest symbol, the flag, share this lovely story with your friends.

We thank Robert for reminding us of the true values of our country.

Woman Sings ‘Amazing Grace’ to Celebrate Her Last Chemo

Some people’s perspective of life is so positive and optimistic that it makes others believe how any obstacle they come across can be overcome with ease. These people are a true inspiration and guidance that teaches us we should never lose hope.

Jessie Rhye Renchy is one of those individuals that never stops fighting and knows how to cherish the good things that come along. She had been diagnosed with a stage-2 breast cancer that she beat in November of last year.

The whole process of undergoing chemotherapy and various other medical treatments was not easy to endure, but Jessie is a real warrior who managed to make it through.

Usually when a person is finally cancer free, the hospitals use the traditional way of spreading the good news, by ringing a bell. But this time it was different. Jessie spread the word of her victory using her voice. She performed a perfect rendition of “Amazing Grace” at the Winship Cancer Institute in Atlanta, Georgia.

Jessie noticed changes in her body after her pregnancy, which made her assume that’s normal. She could never imagine those changes were due to the dreadful disease.

The moment she starts singing, the nurses, her family, and her friends hardly manage to hold their tears back.

Take a look at the emotional moment in the video below.

Matteo Bocelli Sings Love Me Tender

It’s an undeniable fact that talent runs in the Bocelli family. Andrea is a chart-topping singer whose perfect vocal skills have the power to captivate our senses and his son Matteo following into his father’s footsteps is something we are beyond happy to hear.

This adorable 21-year-old man seems to be born to perform on stage and we simply can’t get enough of his angelic voice. His latest performance leaves us thrilled. He opted for the iconic song “Love Me Tender” and it sounds just perfect.

It looks like he is bound to have a lasting career in music, just like his father.

YouTube

When he performed alongside his father for the first time, everyone agreed how their voices blended in perfect harmony. The video of the performance of the song “Fall On Me” has been seen by millions of people who agree that the duet is so touching that it heals the soul.

However, despite his confidence, Matteo has a lot more to learn and to master if he wants to reach his father’s enormous success. Because being the best at what you do requires a lot more than God-given talent. Matteo is perfectly aware of that and that’s why he spends countless hours on vocal training in the studio. He is ready to put forth the effort.

This father and son duo treated the viewers with an interview for The National where they discuss the plans regarding Matteo’s pursue of career in the music industry.

Just as any concerned father would believe, Andrea thinks his son needs to finish his professional training and musical schooling before rising to superstardom. He said:

“Matteo needs to finish his studies to be a serious singer. When you go to the doctor or to see a lawyer, you expect to find a serious professional. The same goes for singers. But Matteo has shown he has a gift. He has something you don’t learn.”

Rather than buck his dad’s notion of finishing college, Matteo agreed. He told The National that school is an invaluable stepping stone to success.

“I know that to make my dream come true I have to study a lot.”

YouTube

Matteo performs Elvis’ song in front of his audience and it feels as though he’s done it countless of times before. His self confidence while on the stage is unshakeable, which adds  to the overall impression.

His pleasant-for-the-ears vocal is something we could listen to over and over again, and it will make us emotional every single time.

He is a real refreshment on the music scene!

YouTube

Check out Matteo’s version of “Love Me Tender” below. He’s certainly as skilled as his dad!

Funny story: Old man gets revenge on town that cut down his beloved tree

An elderly man from Redondo Beach, California, was in distress and in disbelief when he learned that the tree he planted 30 years ago was about to be cut down.

Knowing how important trees are for the environment, this didn’t sound like a good decision, but despite his pleas, the city council proceeded with the plan to remove it from the sidewalk.

However, the man was determined to get his revenge. He quickly began plotting a plan that will teach the stubborn town mayor a lesson. He came up with the most brilliant idea ever and did something amazing.

After some time, he wrote an open letter to the mayor, revealing his action.

The story, which is believed to be fictional, has spread on the Internet like a wildfire.

Take a look at it below:

Hi,

I’m an arborist. This means I am a professional in the cultivation, management, and study of trees. I love trees. I think they’re some of the most beautiful, majestic, ancient living beings on our planet.

Today I am here to tell you a story of death, new life, and revenge. Three years ago today, the city council of Redondo Beach California ordered the death of my 30-year-old pepper tree.

Its roots had begun to penetrate the pavement in front of my house. The city noticed and issued the death warrant of my tree. They furthermore made me pay for the damages to the sidewalk and for the tree removal.

Pinterest

I loved Clyde. I’m beginning to get older, and planting something that I knew would live well beyond my lifetime was something very special. I took very good care of him. I drained his soil, I gave him a crutch to lean on when he was a young lad, and I watched him grow.

Just as Clyde was becoming a strong healthy individual, expanding his root system, developing a canopy, and making his own way in life, the mayor took it upon himself to uproot my beautiful child. 

But Clyde will be avenged…

Mayor Steve Aspel. You killed my child.

For this, you will pay. Two years and seven months ago, I secretly planted 45 California Redwoods and 82 Giant Sequoias in various parks, yards, and state properties around your city.

Pixabay

Today, each of their root systems will be at least 30 feet in diameter, and deeply embedded in the soil. You may have noticed the trees growing in front of city council, or that new one that sprouted up in your backyard. That’s a Giant Sequoia, and its growth will begin accelerating rapidly in the coming months.

You killed Clyde, but I have replaced him with over 100 living giants. And giant they will become. In a few years, they’ll begin breaking heights of 100-300 feet and live well beyond 2,500 years. That’s way longer ago than Jesus was born.

To remove even one of them at this point will cost well over $1500… And I’m stiffing you with the bill, just like you did to me 3 years ago today.”

Good day to you, sir. May your city be overrun by trees. And may Clyde rest in peace.

This man definitely knows that revenge is a dish best served cold.

Do you like his sneaky, yet creative way of getting even with the town’s council that killed his tree? If yes, share it with friends.

Man Waters Wife’s Plants Even After She Passed Away, But He Discovers Something Else

He religiously watered them every single day until..

The death of a beloved family member is truly an unbearable part of life and one of the most difficult experiences which many of us had gone through. The sudden, shocking and bereaved struggle leaves us with many intensely painful emotions, which could range from depression to anger, self-guilt or sadness. Very often, we would feel isolated and alone in our own grief, but having another family member to lean on would be able to help us through the heart wrenching grieving process. As we move on with everyday life, even certain chores are able to remind us of the greatest aspects of our loved ones’ personalities – through a physical memento or purely by memory.

One Twitter user shared her very own story on the social media platform, which has garnered much attention online. A firefighter at the London Fire Brigade, Antonia Nicol had explained that her mother, Phedre Fitton, passed away at age 69 after battling cancer for the past 5 years prior. Before her mother passed on, she told Antonia’s father, who is also her husband, to water the plants located in their bathroom. He kept his word even after her death – until he decides to take them along with him to his new home. However, much to his amusement, they were plastic! The single tweet has since received more than 27,000 retweets and 87,000 likes to date!

“She’d fought cancer for 5 years but it beat her in the end in November 2013. My parents live in South Africa whilst I live here, so it was a very difficult time for us all. When my dad found out that he’d been watering plastic plants for years, it was so funny for all of us and made us feel like she was still with us,” Antonia shared.

She continued: “The response has generally been incredible. My dad has been overwhelmed by the level of interest and so have I. It’s so lovely to hear my friends and family talking and remembering my mum again. She would have loved this so much.
They met when they were 16 years old. They have been together all their lives. They worked together. It was an absolute tragedy that they never got to spend their old age together.”

After sharing her story, many started replying to Antonia, and even her father got wind of his new found Twitter popularity! So much so that he even posed for another photo of himself, watering the plastic plants! This shows how much our loved ones truly mean to us – and they would forever be in our memories, too.

Dad Teaches Stranger A Lesson After Making Rude Comment

Image by EmmaStrong via Facebook

Little Emma is facing a cruel battle most of us hope to never deal with. At just six-years-old, she will soon begin her seventh round of chemotherapy because she’s fighting a brain tumor. Fortunately, her family is strong and supportive. Especially her dad, Brent Gehring.

Her Brave Dad Is With Her Every Step Of The Way

Because Emma is so ill, she can’t really walk. It forces her to use a walker. Brent carries her sometimes but it’s not always easy to do so. And it is a trying experience for Emma and her mother as well.

And a thoughtless stranger recently made the situation worse

EmmaStrong is a fitting name for this little girl’s Facebook page. Image by EmmaStrong

Every three months, the Gehrings travel to Boston so that Emma can visit the doctors at the local children’s hospital. Once that’s done, the family loves to have dinner at Union Oyster House. But a callous stranger recently ruined that for them after seeing the little girl’s dad carry her out of the restaurant.

“My daughter and I were leaving dinner the other night at Union Oyster House in Boston, MA,” Brent in a Facebook post that quickly went viral. “A dinner donated to us by an amazing business and friend that has been in our ‘family’ for years. When I crossed the street carrying her, she can’t walk without the use of her walker. A man yelled at me from 30 feet away: ‘What the f@ck?’ he yelled. ‘Make her walk. That is what is wrong with kids today.'”

I get it. I know we judge each other all the time without having the facts. But what this man did is inherently cruel. Who knows what poor little Emma thought when she heard this?

We know what Emma’s dad thought. Brent was angry. This guy was rude enough to curse in front of his daughter and he was criticizing them for something he knew nothing about. Brent had half a mind to cream this guy but he had the presence of mind to realize something positive could come out of this.

He decided to talk to the dude.

“I had a choice to make at that time. Can I make myself feel better by screaming at him or can I teach him something about life? I won’t lie to you and tell you that it was an easy choice but I got inches from his face, with my daughter in my arms, and quietly asked him if he was referring to my daughter,” Brent wrote. “‘Hell yes,’ he said.”

So the man got a few good bruises. On a mental, not physical level. The kind that makes their mark on the psyche. Only this time, in a positive way.

Emma has been through so much but she’s a brave fighter. Image by EmmaStrong via Facebook

Here’s what Emma’s dad told the stranger:

“My daughter has been carrying my faith and my strength for the past 5 years since she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She can’t walk but I am happy to carry her because of all the amazing things she has taught me through the years. So I would advise you not address my daughter in any way other than respectful,” Brent says.

Then the two men had a meaningful discussion that turned insightful. Both were crying at the end. But each learned something about the other.

“This story is only important if it serves as a reminder that you don’t always know the whole story so don’t judge others,” he says.

But this also served as a good lesson for him, because it helped him realize that “good can come from any situation.” More than anything, Brent says he hopes some people will reexamine the way they think.

“This post doesn’t come looking for pity for Emma or my family,” Brent writes. “What I am asking for is a change in today’s world…a change in the way we think. The world is what we as people make it. We have the power to make days better or worse for others. I choose to attempt to make lives better.”

Little Emma has faced some huge battles, but it’s wonderful to see that she has such an excellent father helping her every step of the way.
