Listen to this talented teen sing an incredible cover of ‘I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.’ You don’t want to miss this! Believe it or not, Lucy Thomas is only 17 years old and made a name for herself a few years ago on UK’s The Voice Kids. Even though she didn’t win the show, she walked away with a record deal. This young powerhouse has released three albums since! On her most recent album, Lucy performs her rendition of ‘I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing’ and absolutely nails it! This easily recognizable tune was written by Diane Warren, an award-winning songwriter. She intended the song to be for a voice like Celine Dion, but it wound up in the hands of Aerosmith. The rock band recorded it in ‘98 for the iconic suspense film, Armageddon. Both the musician and movie are surprising choices when you read over the romantic lyrics. I just want to hold you close I feel your heart so close to mine And just stay here in this moment For all of the rest of time Although beautifully poetic, it does seem a bit misplaced! Regardless, Aerosmith hit the nail on the head with this song. Originally, the song was a radio special, but its success prompted the record studio to release it commercially. I bet there’s not one person above the age of 25 that doesn’t recognize it! Definitely a classic. Since Lucy has sung plenty of ballads, she put her own twist on this classic rock song. And she did not disappoint! This young woman has such a beautiful gift and shares it every day with the world. We can’t wait to see what songs she covers next! As every man has received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 1 Peter 4:10

Eastern Idaho’s very own Secret Santa surprises one daycare worker who walks to work every day, and, in the process, he kicks off her holiday in a wonderful way! Idaho is known as “the Gem State,” and they have definitely got one among them! An anonymous gentleman, referred to as “Secret Santa,” is on a mission to gift $1 million to deserving folks in his community. And, he has sought the help of the East Idaho News to carry out his gift-giving assignments. How cool is that! Here we see Nate Eaton as he visits one very special lady at the daycare where she works in Rexburg. However, Nate first takes a few minutes to explain why Jaime has been selected to be one of Secret Santa’s recipients. Jaime has been described as “kind” and “sweet,” and she is very dedicated to her work teaching and caring for the children in her charge. Jaime has a wonderful singing voice, and she’s a graduate of BYU-Idaho. But, Jaime faces considerable challenges. Jaime has health concerns, which prevent her from driving. So, she walks each day from her apartment to her community’s Walmart shuttle, takes the shuttle to work, and reverses the process at the end of each day. Idaho weather can get pretty nasty, but Jaime walks through ice and snow nonetheless. And, while Jaime loves to sing, she also has partial hearing loss. After sharing a bit about Jaime, Nate goes into Jaime’s work to meet her and make her day! It takes just a few seconds to see that Nate’s description of Jaime is clearly true. She does seem very kind and sweet indeed! Nate gives Jaime three gifts, and she appears more touched by each one. The first is $1,000 to spend on groceries, which can be ordered and delivered to her home. The second is $1,000 to use at PetSmart. This gift is primarily for Emmett, Jaime’s service dog, and roommate. That’s a lot of dog food! Emmett may even get some treats or toys in his stocking! Finally, Jaime is given $1,000 to use with Uber’s ride service. Can you imagine how much nicer winter in Rexburg will be for Jaime this year! Jaime has the most unassuming and soft-spoken manner—a beautiful lady inside and out! If Secret Santa is an East Idaho gem, then it certainly seems he found a treasure in Jaime! “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.” Matthew 6:2

This is one of the most inspiring videos that I have ever seen. A 105-year-old woman runs 100 meters and sets a record. At the start of the video, the woman in the USA shirt is determined on the track as many fans cheer her on. The gun shoots and she begins to run. Julia Hawkins is her name and she is 105 years old, living in Louisiana. She shares that she “does many other wonderful things and this is just a drop in the bucket.” Her run was 63 seconds. As she finishes, loved ones at the finish line embrace her. Julia says that she is so happy. The woman is incredible. She trains by jogging a mile a day in her neighborhood. Julia’s husband passed away years ago. She says that she “could not imagine being this old and without him, it is not the same. It’s not quite as wonderful.” Julia runs and gardens to keep herself busy. She tells of the touching story of her husband passing away in his sleep after he sang love songs to her. This video has gone viral for good reason. Julia Hawkins is motivating to watch and learn from in this clip. Viewing this encourages us in our race of faith to run with endurance and trust Jesus every step of the way. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:1-2

This video is absolutely encouraging in our faith. Teens help a homeless man buy food and they end up praying together. In this video, a group of teenagers is giving back. They are seen paying for a man’s groceries. Then, they share how they went out into their community to help the homeless. They gave out food, gift cards, and words of encouragement. Then, suddenly a security guard connected the boys with a man named Bryce who just got out of rehab. The teens took him to get groceries, I.D., and housing. When they were leaving, Bryce asked the teens if they believed in God. First, we see Bryce shopping with the boys and putting things he enjoys eating into his cart. Then, they go to buy homes essentials and medical needs. After they purchase what the man needs, they all head out of the store and run into their security guard friend Carlos. Carlos proceeds to be vulnerable and tells Bryce that he recovered from addiction and it was possible for Bryce too. Carlos tells him to turn the need over to God and it will fill the void. Bryce asks, “Why did you come to help me?” The teen responds, “Literally, all God.” The teens invite Bryce to be prayed for and the group huddles to pray. The teen prays a powerful and faith-filled prayer. It is amazing to see how a loving community of Christ-followers can impact others. How are you reaching out and praying for others today? “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” James 5:16

This is my testimony, Its about my experiences the cause and affect of life from a different perspective Its raw and doesn't pull any punches.

In an act of kindness, country star Vince Gill gifts new instruments to band students after a devastating flood. Waverly, Tennessee had over 17 inches of rain in 8 hours over the summer, and the floods caused devastating damage all over the community. Homes, businesses, and schools were destroyed, and it is taking a while for all the destruction to be repaired. One man wanted to help lift the spirits of the community, and that person was country music star Vince Gill! “You just sit there and shake your head,” said Vince Gill. “What can we do to help out?” Since replacing band instruments at the junior and senior high school had a low priority after all the destruction that the floods left behind, Vince knew that he wanted to help out in that way. He was able to donate 40 boxed up shiny and new band instruments to the school, and all of the band students were extremely grateful! During a time when these students are sleeping in borrowed beds and living in temporary places after their homes were destroyed, having these new instruments to play really encouraged them during this difficult time. The students learned about Vince Gill’s donation at a school assembly, and they were able to use the new instruments and play for the school. “How delightful! A blessing from Vince Gill!” comments one person on YouTube after hearing about the story. “We need more musicians, celebrities, and companies to be this kind all of the time!” “Wow! What a gift!! We need more great Americans like Vince,” writes another person online. Vince goes on to talk about kindness and how important it is to show to others. “I often feel like we should be like this all the time, you know. That’s my dream,” he shares. “Let’s not just be kind when somebody’s struggling, let’s just be kind.” God bless Vince Gill and his generosity to these music students!

These neighbors are heroes because of their quick thinking in a dramatic home fire rescue. This video isn’t for the faint of heart as it captured footage of two brave neighbors carrying an elderly woman from her burning home. And the voice you can hear on the video--that’s Lariana Garvis who organized the rescue. She was on her way home from an outing at the park with her two sons in the car. As she turned down her street, she immediately saw that the home of one of her neighbors was on fire. Lariana knew the elderly woman in late 90’s, and frail. She saw the size of the fire and knew there was no way her neighbor could get out on her own. As the house began to go up in flames Lariana called for help and then flagged down other neighbors by the name of Jay and Tom Kehoe. The men broke down the door as Lariana captured the dramatic rescue on video. Seconds later, Jay and Tom carried out the woman who was still in her favorite teal chair. The men chose to use the chair as a stretcher to prevent the elderly woman from any more injuries or bruising. The video captures broken windows that exploded from the heat of the fire and smoke billowing into the sky. The homeowner’s off-white sweater was singed from flames that had crept into the living room. As she was being carried out, Lariana, Jay, and Tom reassured her they would go back and get her precious dog who had been left behind. Thank God for these three good samaritans who were in the right place at the right time. They saved not one, but two lives. These neighbors were definitely God’s angels! They were willing to lay down their lives for someone who wasn’t able to save herself. “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends,” John 15:13

A Poem by Abe Kosh

Watch this proud dog as he happily helps bring the family’s groceries inside. What a good, helpful boy! You’ve probably seen a bunch of clever dogs doing some pretty unique tricks across the internet like grabbing a drink for their owners or opening a door. You might’ve even seen a dog help bring shopping bags in from the car like this pup. But apparently, this pup wasn’t trained to do this! Although Guster the lab is clearly an intelligent pup, his family hadn’t specifically trained him to help with the groceries. His mom said, “My daughter was helping me carry in groceries from the car at our home. Guster tried grabbing a sack out of her hands, so she placed a sack in his mouth and told him to take it to Mommy.” And Guster knew exactly what to do. It seemed like a fun little game for him! He obviously knew he was pleasing his humans and being the best boy. Just look at his waddle with his front legs walking farther apart than usual to make room for the bags. I think it’s also super important to notice that happy wagging tail! He’s so adorable — I almost can’t bear to watch his little puppy prances! Guster’s mom said he was more than happy to do it again and again. What a perfect way to make such a mundane task more enjoyable for everyone! What’s funnier is Guster’s furry sibling just overseeing his work. It’s more like Guster is being supervised rather than the other dog just not understanding what’s going on. Either way, he couldn’t care less! Just a happy boy lending a helping hand! I hope the family gave him the biggest treat and plenty of scratches — he deserves all of that and more for all of his hard work!

Get in the Christmas spirit with this beautiful medley of songs from The Collingsworth Family. Sing along as they belt out the words to our favorite tunes from this special time of year. “Caroling, caroling now we go Christmas bells are ringing Caroling, caroling through the snow Christmas bells are ringing” The Collingsworth Family has been a staple in the Christian music world for years. Time after time, they’ve used their God-given musical talent to help spread His message of love and forgiveness. Through their music ministry, thousands of people have heard the Lord’s praises and blessings through gospel favorites such as ‘At Calvary’ and ‘Blood Of Jesus.’ Today, the family is ringing in the Christmas season with a medley of holiday favorites. Just listen as they sing a mashup of ‘Spirit of the Season,’ ‘Caroling, Caroling,’ and ‘We Need a Little Christmas.’ “For we need a little music, need a little laughter Need a little singing ringing through the rafter And we need a little snappy ""Happy ever after"" Need a little Christmas now” Christmas is the time of love and laughter. It is also about remembering the ultimate gift, the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. As we sing out these words, we are letting the whole world know why we celebrate this wonderful time of year. Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

All it takes is one person to give you a shot. Jenna Bush Hager cries while thanking Holda for her big break. The one person who changed the course of Jenna���s career is Hoda. When Jenna made this statement, both ladies were reaching for tissues. You see, it’s not easy chasing your dream job. The pair were inspired after sharing a story they learned about from a recent viral LinkedIn post from Sophia Cheong who navigated 357 rejections and 40 interviews before landing a job. “I remember when I was looking for my very, very, very, very first job and I thought … I kind of thought I was going to get a job right away,” Hoda said, “And I remember the first time I got rejected to my face, I was so surprised because I had a tape and I went to college, and here’s my stuff. He’s like, ‘Well, you’re too green.’” She recalled how hard it was being rejected over and over those first few months after graduating. “It just kept going and going and going and going and going, and I kept going and getting the rejection,” she said. “There is a point when you get so many that your whole self-esteem just goes down the toilet. You start thinking, I made a mistake. Because all these people can’t be wrong.” But you just need one person to give you a chance and for Hoda it was a man by the name of Stan Sandroni in Mississippi. Stan believed in Hoda and helped launch her journalism career. “You just need one person to say you can do it, and my one guy’s name was Stan Sandroni, and he was in Greenville, Mississippi. He hired me when no one else would,” Hoda said. “This guy believed, and that’s so shocking because it was like, you just need the one.” At that moment, Jenna began to tear up because the one person who gave her a chance was sitting right next to her. That one special person was Hoda. “Do you know who my one would be?” she said to Hoda. “You.” Jenna added, “You asked me to fill in with you and I'll never forget it, so my one is you.” The pair were silent for just a moment as they fought back tears. It was a touching moment for the both of them. It just proves we may receive hundreds of negative answers but all it takes is one person to say yes! What an incredible way to honor, support, and lift each other up. “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11

It never gets old watching others display kindness in this world. In this video, a stranger gives a struggling dog a wagon after the pup’s legs give out during a walk. A man in the neighborhood was walking an elderly dog who was struggling. A kind couple living nearby saw and had compassion on the dog and the husband walked over with a wagon to offer the owner. We see the owner pick up the dog and place him in the wagon. The dog then lays down in the wagon happily. The man pets and loves on his sweet dog. Then the two men shake hands and go on their way chatting and getting to know one another. Many people are watching this clip of the neighborly attitude. How can we keep an eye out for our neighbors today? How can we show sacrificial love today? Jesus set the example of giving to others and not expecting anything in return. Just like this man gave up his wagon, we need to remember that people are more valuable than things. Is there a way that you can bless someone with your resources or finances today? Who is around that you need to take notice of in the place that you live? Take some time to slow down and notice the needs of others today. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you be sensitive to the needs around you. God is working every day in the big and small moments. “And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you. You have heard that it is said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Matthew 5:40-43

If you are looking for a video of peaceful scenery and natural talent, look no further. In this clip, the Riverside Bluegrass Band performs “Ole Montana” in a pasture. The five performers are standing together in front of hay bales and the beautiful mountains on a sunny day. It feels as if you are right there with them. The male and female sing in harmony and blend so perfectly. The camera gives moments highlighting each instrument. We hear and see guitar, violin, mandolin, bass, and a fiddle. Riverside Bluegrass Band was started by a group of friends from California and Texas. These incredible young people inspire us to slow down and enjoy the nature around us and all of the beauty that God has created. Their music and setting welcome us into the awe and wonder of the creation made by the Lord. The state of Montana is absolutely breathtaking and this music video will get anyone excited about the gift of nature around them. The Bible tells us clearly that the work of the Lord through creation reveals the invisible qualities of His power and holiness. We clearly see the working of the Creator when we look at the immaculate mountains, waterfalls, oceans, skies, plants, animals, and everything around us pointing to the Higher One. When was the last time you appreciated the setting God has provided around where you live? It may not be Montana, but God’s handiwork is everywhere, we just need to slow down and take time to notice Him. “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” Romans 1:20

In this epic viral video, watch a young man in a heroic act. A hiker saves a freezing kitten stranded after a snow storm. In the clip, we see a precious gray and white kitten meowing. The hiker shares that he was about 10 kilometers in and heard the cat. He asks the cat what her name is and tells her that she is cute. This hiker does a 60-kilometer hike to help raise money for “Movember.” This fundraiser provides money for cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. The hiker shares that his friend was diagnosed with colon cancer and his grandpa passed away from cancer recently. After checking with various farms, the hiker finds the family who lost the cat. The family has two daughters and one son. One of the daughters was so upset when the other cat never returned home that the parents purchased a new kitten. Max, the hiker, was given the kitten that he rescued. Max did a poll and Hytch is the name for his kitten. This story of selflessness and rescue reminds us of how just like this kitten was stranded in the snow, we were once stranded in our sin. Jesus came to us and rescued us from eternal death. As we see the great love that the hiker Max has for this cat, it can remind us of the abundant sacrificial love that our God has for us as well. “But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion’s mouth. The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” 2 Timothy 4:17-18

Listen to this new Christmas song from CAIN featuring Steven Curtis Chapman called ‘Wonderful.’ “Gathered round the table so much to be thankful for It’s Christmas, oh how I’ve missed this, through the joy and laughter You can feel the sadness, cause this Christmas everyone’s not with us It’s the time of year when happiness and cheer, won’t be enough to get me through the night I need a Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Prince of Peace Who’s strong enough to carry Immanuel, God with us, the One who’s love will never end Oh, Jesus can you make this season wonderful” What a beautiful and heartfelt song! In the video, the members of the group CAIN and Steven Curtis Chapman are all dressed up in red and looking very festive. They fill the song with such lovely harmonies, and the chorus that they sing has such an amazing message. “What a song of depth and truth,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video. “These words come at such an appropriate time. Much love. Jesus is our wonderful counselor through all our hard times.” “Wow! These are anointed voices,” writes another person online. “Love new Christmas songs coming out lately telling us the purpose of what we are celebrating on Christmas day and not just for the fun of it.” This song is a great reminder to us all that no matter what we go through, God is always there and He is always wonderful. The group CAIN is made up of siblings Taylor, Madison, and Logan Cain, and they are from Alabama. They grew up as preacher’s kids and shared a room where they would spend most of their time singing and creating harmonies together. And they do an incredible job showing off their singing talents in this music video! We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Wonderful’ by CAIN and featuring Steven Curtis Chapman today!

Grammy-winning artist Michael Buble rings in the Christmas season with this upbeat performance of ‘Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.’ This holiday classic is always a favorite this time of year and it’s even better hearing it from this iconic singer. “You better watch out! You better not cry You better not pout, I'm telling you why 'Cause Santa Claus is coming to town Oh let's go!” When you think of Christmas music, there is no doubt that Michael Buble comes to mind. This world-renowned vocalist is known for his covers of legendary holiday hits such as ‘White Christmas’ and ‘The Christmas Song.’ In fact, his holiday album ‘Christmas’ has entered the Billboard charts every single year since it’s initial release in 2011. Today, he is taking on a true classic with ‘Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.’ There is no doubt that this timeless song is the perfect soundtrack to your Christmas season. “He sees you when you're sleeping And he knows when you're awake He knows if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake” Christmas is a magical time of year, but let us always remember the real reason for the season and that is the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. He is the ultimate gift and the One worthy of all our praise. Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Listen to this amazing performance of Andrea Bocelli singing ‘The Lord’s Prayer.’ “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.” What an incredible performance full of voices that are absolutely angelic sounding! David Foster, who is a Canadian record producer and music executive, introduced the video of Andrea Bocelli singing with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. “When I tell you, this was a close to a heavenly experience that I think I ever had in my life. With the voice of Andrea Bocelli in that tabernacle, with that choir, and this piece of music, it’s so special. I would like you all to have a look at it, please, right now,” he says. When Andrea Bocelli performs with the choir, his powerful voice beautifully sings out the words of this beloved prayer. And many people can’t get enough of the video after viewing it online. “I keep coming back to hear the beautiful performance of this prayer hymn,” comments one person on YouTube. “The reason it's so beautiful is because Andrea is singing to our Father in Heaven, Andrea is praying as he sings. It feels like the room is full of unseen angels praising God.” “I have experienced a glimpse of heavenly worship with this video,” another person writes. “All is now well with my soul. Thank you Andrea Bocelli, orchestra, and Mormon Tabernacle Choir.” We hope that you enjoyed listening to this beautiful performance by Andrea Bocelli of ‘The Lord’s Prayer.’
