Happy

Walmart turned into a dance party thanks to this man's moves. He used his fancy footwork and a classic song to spread happiness and joy. Watch the short but delightful clip to see how one man's good time quickly spread to everyone else in the vicinity.

Our moods and how we act are infectious. If we're upset or angry and then stomp around as we stew, odds are that those around us won't be in the best of moods either. Those individuals will be walking around on pins and needles, hoping they don't say or do something that sets that person off. It just makes for an unpleasant experience for everyone involved.

However, if we are in a good mood and act halfway decent to people, not as an overgrown baby who lost their pacifier, they will react accordingly. Those around us will be in a better mood, making the day better for everyone. You know this to be true because we have all experienced similar situations many times before.

A clip posted on YouTube showed just how easily happiness and joy can spread to others. While dancing through a Walmart, the man in the video shows off his best moves as he approaches others. Everyone he comes up to immediately starts dancing, and you'll also notice they do so with a big smile on their faces. Even those who chose not to dance but just take in the joyous and somewhat strange sight of someone dancing in a Walmart are having a good time.

It also doesn't hurt that he's dancing about that particular Walmart location to Kool & The Gang's "Get Down on It." It's nearly physically impossible to be in a bad mood whenever that song 
plays. 

So, yes, our moods and actions impact those around us, and this short clip is a perfect example of that.

Psalm 149:3 "Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music."

Dick Van Dyke serenaded his wife on her birthday and also shared how the two met. The Hollywood legend delivered an incredibly adorable musical performance. Watch the short but oh so sweet clip to listen to Dick sing and tell about the first time he laid eyes on his wife.

There are very few people alive who are as beloved as Dick Van Dyke. One could argue that in recent memory, the only other person to reach that level was the late Betty White. Dick's work, including "The Dick Van Dyke Show," "Mary Poppins," "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" as well as "Diagnosis Murder," has been loved and admired for decades. Not only that, but he appears to be a genuine, good-hearted person who loves and appreciates what he has and has been able to do with his life.

Despite being nearly 100 years old, he remains somewhat active, making public appearances occasionally. In a clip posted on YouTube, Dick's wife, Arelene, was celebrating her birthday with her husband right by her side. In fact, he led the room in singing "Happy Birthday," which he ended by planting a big kiss on her lips.

Following the musical performance, Dick took the microphone and shared a little bit about the couple's history, including the first time he laid eyes on the person he calls the most "beautiful woman" he's seen in his life.

"I never walked up to a strange woman in my life," he said. "I was backstage at the Emmys, I guess. SAG Awards. I was just waiting to go on. She walked by without even thinking. I jumped and said, 'Hi, I'm Dick.' And I found out she was a makeup lady, hired her, and now we've been married 13 years, and I couldn't be happier."

What an unbelievably sweet story!

Genesis 2:24 "For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh."

A husband’s sweet serenade to his wife on a tough day will melt your heart. He played the young woman a beautiful song when he knew she had a rough day. Watch the short but oh so sweet video to see and listen to the husband play a song for his wife.

There are many ways to express love and show someone how much we care for and about them. The list of actions is long and seemingly endless. It goes from big, grand, flashy and expensive gestures to something as simple as holding the door for someone else.

It really does not matter how someone shows love for another person; what truly matters is that someone takes the time to actually do it. One may argue that the smallest gestures mean the most because they are often the most personal and show that the other person is paying attention and responding to the specific situation.

In a clip posted on social media, a husband responded to the situation when he noticed his wife had experienced a challenging day. He can tell her mood and that her day could have gone better.  However, instead of waiting for direction, he saw a need, took the initiative and acted, knowing exactly what would make her feel better.

So, wanting to cheer her up and brighten her day a little, he brought out his guitar and began strumming and singing along. A big smile came across her face within seconds, after the first couple of notes were played. He had already made her feel that much better, even before he started singing to her.

That was a beautiful and heartwarming act of love. The husband knew that his wife was not feeling great, and so he did what he could to make her feel a little better.

Genesis 2:24 “For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.”

A bride and groom were stunned when their guests broke out into a "Stand by Me" performance. Neither of them had any idea what was happening or why. Watch the short but sweet clip to hear the wedding guests sing "Stand by Me" and see the shocked expressions from the bride and groom.

Weddings are beautiful, life-changing ceremonies. They are the joining together of two people who vow to remain with one another for the rest of their lives, regardless of what life may throw at them. The moments and memories created on a couple's wedding day will be remembered and looked back upon fondly for years to come. What could be more beautiful than a wedding?

In addition to being beautiful and emotional ceremonies, weddings are often very organized, thoroughly planned and thought-out. Typically, every possible detail and item is meticulously and carefully accounted for and considered. That's why couples will allow for a year's gap between getting engaged and getting married. They want every detail to be perfect for their big day, and why not? Weddings are important and should be given the care and thought they deserve.

However, a clip posted on YouTube shows a special, heartwarming moment that neither the bride nor the groom had planned. In the video, the bride and groom sit at the front of the room when someone unexpectedly stands up and begins singing. The look on the couple's faces made it abundantly clear that neither of them had the slightest clue about what was happening. But they both went with it, letting the moment happen.

Then, slowly, more guests stood and joined in on the performance. Soon, a handful of guests were singing the beautiful, timeless love song "Stand by Me."

That is a moment they will remember for the rest of their lives.

A hardworking man who walks miles to his two full-time jobs was unexpectedly shown kindness and love. The beautiful, heartwarming story will cause you to wipe away a tear or two. Watch this short but powerful clip about how a little bit of kindness, care and consideration can go a long way.

How difficult is it to exhibit a little concern and kindness? It doesn’t require any special gift, talent, skill or even much time. Honestly, all that is really necessary is to spot a need and then care enough about the well-being of another to act. That’s it, and it’s something that everyone can do, regardless of their age or stage in life.

Christians are called to care for and look after others. While many people would rather go about their day and keep their heads down to avoid making eye contact with someone in need, Jesus says we are to act otherwise. When asked to name the greatest commandments, Christ answered that one of them was to love your neighbor as yourself. This would include helping others in need. Showing Christ-like love and kindness is precisely what some people did for one man in need.

The clip posted on YouTube tells the story of Rodolfo Depaz. Rodolfo has two full-time jobs—at Dairy Queen and Chipotle—and regularly works 80 hours a week. He gets to work by walking several miles a day - rain, shine or snow. He sends the money he earns back to his wife and two children in El Salvador.

Because Rodolfo sends money back to make a better life for his family, he does not have enough for a set of wheels, so he walks to work every day. That is, until one of Rodolfo’s co-workers, Emily, invited him to her house for dinner with her family. He became part of the family, enjoying weekends and holidays with them.

Emily’s father then asked Rodolfo to join his men’s Bible study group. Soon after joining the group, one of the members surprised him by giving him a car. Rodolfo no longer has to walk to work, and he’s eternally grateful for that, mentioning how the Lord has answered his prayers.

“Just said, ‘Thank God, you listen to me in my prayers every day,’” Rodolfo said.

John 13:34 “I give you a new law: Have love for one another; even as I have had love for you, so are you to have love one for another.”

This school bus driver found an unexpected way to ease nervous students. He knew the students would be experiencing first-day jitters and did what he could to help. Watch the short and sweet video to hear what the school bus driver did to provide some comic relief.

Everyone loves some form of comedy and to laugh, and that is an undeniable fact. Have you ever met anyone who hates laughing and all things funny? I know I haven't, and I certainly hope you haven't either. That would be one miserable individual, and getting away from them as quickly as possible would be best.

Laughter and all things funny are powerful. They can and do bring us together. Is there anything better than sharing a laugh with someone? Also, at least temporarily, laughter can ease our pain and alleviate fears. In a clip posted on YouTube, a school bus driver used comedy and laughter to help lessen the first-day jitters and nerves he knew a lot of students would be experiencing.

Lucas Champion, a school bus driver, was listening to music when he heard a classic, beloved rock song, ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man," when he got an idea. He started rifling through his closet and pulled out his tuxedo from 2016. He decided that would be his outfit for the next day, the first day of the new school year.

So, why did the bus driver unexpectedly wear formal attire as he picked up the kids for school the next morning? As the video explains, Lucas wanted all the kids on his bus to board with smiles on their faces. He understood how the first day of school, especially for children, can be a bit daunting and overwhelming, so he did what he could to help put them at ease.

The video also points out that Lucas may make wearing a tuxedo on the first day of school an annual tradition.

Ephesians 4:32 "And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you."

A young business owner gave $1,000 to his church and thanked God for his success. This hardworking and entrepreneurial young man is thoroughly impressive, yet he remains humble and understands who is responsible for his success. Watch the short but powerful clip to learn about this young business owner and the tear-jerking thing he did to help out his church.

Everyone wants instant success, and with that highly desired, sought-after success, they hope a fair amount of money follows. Of course, that's not typically what happens. Most individuals don't simply wake up and are handed tons of cash. People who live in the real world understand that before success, a lot of hard work and dedication come first. That doesn't sound like much fun, right?

Children who learn and understand that hard work and dedication are necessary to achieve anything worthwhile will be much better off than their peers who have difficulty grasping this lesson. Parents who don't teach and show their youngsters this are only doing them a disservice. They will learn it one way or the other, eventually.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one young man, 12-year-old Quentin Hines Jr., knows all about hard work. He has his own business, which allows him to do something he absolutely loves: mowing lawns.

"I really, really love it," Quentin said. "I really love it."

The young man said his ultimate dream is to get a job mowing the lawn at one unexpected location.

"Ever since I was younger, I always wanted to get a contract with the Charlotte airport," he said. "And, like, sometimes when I go out there, they will have the mowers out there. So, I would like stand there for a while."

As the clip mentions, the young man's business is growing rapidly, and he's acquiring new customers at an impressive rate. But he's not keeping all his profits for himself. He gave $1,000 to his church to help it pay off its mortgage.

"When you put things into the world, it always finds a way to come back to you," he said.

Even with all of his success, the 12-year-old business owner understands who is ultimately responsible for it.

"It mostly feels like God really just opened a lot of opportunities for me," he said. "And He really just showed me that this is what He wants me to do on this Earth. I love it, and I will never stop, never."

Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;"

Tears started flowing as the groom delivered an unforgettable wedding day surprise. His sweet and heartwarming move will likely have you brushing away a tear or two. Watch the short, but tear-jerking clip to see what the groom did and hear the reason for his touching gesture.

Weddings are significant, momentous and life-changing occasions for every couple. They are the opportunity to recognize and witness the formation of a family as two people vow to remain with one another regardless of what life may throw their way. What could be better than that?

Typically, weddings are a chance to celebrate the couple standing at the altar in front of family, friends and God, and rightfully so. We should be so honored to be able to share the bride and groom’s big day with them.  All we, as guests, ask for is a plate of food at the reception and the slightest bit of cake, and that’s it, I promise!

However, in one clip posted on YouTube, a groom, Zach, used the occasion to surprise his bride, Hallie, her parents and everyone in attendance. When it came time to recite his vows, he also used American Sign Language. Both of his bride’s parents are deaf, and he wanted to show them how much he loves and is committed to them as well. He wanted them to feel included, as he said, and signed his vows to their daughter.

The clip mentions that no one knew what Zach was about to do when it came time for him to say his vows. The young man attended night classes for four months before the wedding for that big, tear-jerking moment.

“The moment Zach started signing and saying his vows, I immediately started tearing up,” Hallie said. “The way he included my parents made it even more meaningful, and it reminded me why I chose him, and I’ll keep choosing him every day.”

But that wasn’t all.

After the ceremony, the video captures the moment Zach presents his in-laws with his ASL certificates at the reception.

What a powerful moment and a beautiful way to show someone how much they matter and are loved.

1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all that you do be done in love.”

A woman finished cancer treatments and was met with the sweetest surprise. She was understandably ecstatic about completing all of her treatments for cancer, and then something unexpected happened. Watch the short but sweet clip to see the beautiful and tear-jerking surprise she received.

There are many truly terrible things in this fallen, broken and lost world. Sadly, pain and heartache are all around us and in overwhelming abundance. However, there’s likely nothing that has caused more suffering and agony to families than cancer. There isn’t much scarier in life than receiving a cancer diagnosis or learning that a friend or a family member is battling the deadly, life-threatening disease.

Fighting cancer is both mentally and physically taxing on the family, but especially the patient. From the moment you or a loved one receives that horrible diagnosis, it’s a roller coaster of good days and bad days. That’s why a surprise one woman received meant so much and made for such a beautiful moment.

In the clip, which was posted on YouTube, the woman shouts that she has just finished all of her cancer treatments. She is overjoyed, and this is certainly something to celebrate. She and her husband are then captured on video walking out the door, leaving the medical facility. However, little does she know what awaits her outside those doors.

The woman’s husband had planned a massive, heartwarming surprise for her. He had brought together her family and friends, who were waiting with signs and cheers to greet her after her enormous, beautiful, celebration-worthy accomplishment.

Immediately after seeing all the people she loves who had come out to show her support, she understandably becomes emotional and breaks down in tears.

What an incredible sight and an excellent way for her husband and everyone else she knows to show her how much they love and care for her.

1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all you do be done in love.”

A 12-year-old brings comfort to shelter animals with his soothing, beautiful musical performances. The young man uses his musical talent to help calm and care for animals waiting for their forever homes. Watch the short but sweet clip to learn how the youngster comforts shelter animals.

Every animal wants to be with someone and somewhere where they are cared for and loved. That's the kind of treatment and environment we all want and deserve. Sadly, because of our world's lost, broken and fallen state, that is not a reality for far too many people and animals.

Instead, many animals are locked up in shelters, and that's a place where no animal wants to be. While those animals are cared for, they are often full, and none of the animals get the love and attention they deserve. They are simply there waiting and hoping someone will come along soon and adopt them.

That's why 12-year-old Yuvi Agarwal decided to take his musical talents to an animal shelter in Houston, Texas. He performs, hoping that his performance will comfort the animals as they anxiously await someone to come along and take them home.

"Many of them have come from very rough backgrounds with humans," he said. So, they associate humans with bad things, but once they see humans playing nice music for them, they will associate humans with good things."

Since playing in that Houston shelter, the 12-year-old has started a nonprofit, Wild Tunes, that performs music for shelter pets in a handful of states – Texas, Colorado, New Jersey, Virginia and California.

Not only does the music calm and soothe the animals, but one shelter employee stated it also increases their chance of adoption.

"So, this music allows them to calm down and make them ultimately more presentable to adopters," he said.

People often say that one person cannot make a difference, but 12-year-old Yuvi has proven that one person can make a huge difference.

Genesis 1:21 "And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after their kind: and God saw that it was good."

One police officer’s jaw-dropping jump-rope skills are getting a lot of attention. She demonstrated her skills while on duty after approaching a group of youngsters playing outside. Watch the short but powerful clip to see the officer’s jump-rope talent and hear why she joined the fun.

Many people spend much of their day with their faces buried in a screen. Sadly, at this point, our phones have essentially become an extension of our hands. We’re either texting, perusing the internet or scrolling on one of the many popular social media platforms. If we are ever separated from our phones at any time throughout the day, many become anxious and wonder when we’ll be reunited with our cellular device.

Technology is good and helpful; many great things have come from those recent advancements. However, seeing children outside playing with one another without their phones nearby has become odd and unusual. For that reason, a New York police officer decided to join a group of children when she saw them outside jumping rope. Not only did she jump rope with them, but she wowed many people with her incredible, jaw-dropping talent.

“We’re passing down a street, we saw them outside jumping,” Officer Sharrika Brent said. “I told them, ‘Pull over’ because I wanted to jump.”

The video of the officer’s fancy footwork has since gone viral, getting millions of views on social media.

Officer Brent added that her jumping rope with those neighborhood children is not out of the ordinary for her, saying that it’s something that she does all the time.

“You don’t see the kids outside playing anymore,” she said. You just see them on their phones, heads down, tablets, whatever. They don’t really play, like, outside, like, how I used to when I was a kid. So, it was kind of refreshing for them to see, and it was refreshing for me, that’s why I got out of the car and jumped.”

Her efforts and those of other officers reaching out to community members are making a difference. The clip mentioned that crime in that neighborhood is down over 20 percent.

Colossians 3:12 “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;”

This is a sample clip.

Meet the man on a mission to make 10,000 friends. This lofty friendship goal is one that he has spent years striving toward. Watch the short but powerful clip to learn about the man who has made friendship a big goal of his and how he is going about making it a reality.

Social media has exploded within the last decade or so. It’s nearly everywhere we look, having impacted many areas of our lives. On the popular platforms, in addition to needlessly arguing with complete strangers and posting and looking at photos of cats and dogs, people can collect followers, or friends, as Facebook refers to them.

But what does having a “friend” on Facebook mean if it’s someone you haven’t talked to or seen in years, or if they are someone you have never met and don’t even know? Not a whole lot is the correct answer. At that point, the number of friends someone has on Facebook is nothing more than some odd status symbol.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Rob Lawless explains how and why he set a goal of making 10,000 friends. He has been working on it for nearly 10 years.

“I thought it was fascinating, this idea that a chance interaction could change your path, and I wanted to ask myself, ‘What happens if you introduce 10,000 chance interactions to your life?’”

In the video, Rob states what he considers making a new friend and what he and they must do to consider that a new friendship.

“We just have to spend an hour together, one on one,” he said. “And there’s no set list of questions. It’s not an interview.”

Rob’s friends range in age from a 5-year-old boy to a 100-year-old woman. He has also traveled to many different countries while working toward his goal.

“You expand your perspective with every interaction that you have with someone,” he said.

Proverbs 17:17 “A friend is loving at all times, and becomes a brother in times of trouble.”

A retiring pilot stepped off his final flight and received an unforgettable surprise. He was making his final departure, walking into the airport, when he happened upon a scene he had not anticipated. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see what the retiring pilot was surprised with when he stepped off the plane.

Nearly everyone has a lifelong goal of retirement. Looking toward to those Golden Years, sitting back and relaxing, without the stress and worry that comes with a 9-to-5, sounds fantastic. No one wants to be in a position where they must work until their last, dying breath.

While making a living is important and necessary, human beings were designed for more than work. The Lord wants us to explore and appreciation His creation and all that it offers. Why else would He have created such things as the Grand Canyon, the Rocky Mountains or the Swiss Alps? For that and many other reasons, working until one’s last second on Earth is not ideal.

In a clip posted on social media, a pilot is finishing his last flight. As the text in the video mentions, he had been a pilot for more than three decades. He can be seen making his way off the plane and into the airport, near an arrival gate.

Once he approaches the gate, the retiring pilot is greeted by his entire family, waiting with cheers, applause and signs. It’s clear from the look on his face that he was not expecting them at all and was utterly taken aback by what he witnessed.

In addition to being a heartwarming scene, it was likely an expensive celebration. While the text in the video never mentions this, those waiting to greet the pilot would have had to purchase a ticket to be in that position. They would not have been able to be there otherwise.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

A great-grandfather’s emotional response to a baby’s name will melt your heart. The elderly man could not keep himself from bursting into tears once he learned the name of his great-grandson. Watch the short but precious clip to see how the great-grandfather reacted when he made the sweet discovery.

None of us will live forever. The exact amount of time we’ve been allotted on Earth is unknowable, but it’s relatively safe to say that no one alive right now will be around in 100 years from now. Our bodies, which break down and wear out over time, are not made to last centuries. They are temporary, much like our time on this planet.

That’s why we must and should make the most of the time we’ve been given. Care about others more than ourselves, put their needs ahead of our own and strive to make a true and lasting impact on someone else’s life. After all, that’s what Jesus commands us to do in Mark. Right after He says we are to love God with all that we are, we are to love our neighbor as ourselves.

But how do we ever know if we’ve impacted and made a difference in someone else’s life? Most of the time, we don’t, but we have to trust that our words and actions did make a difference. However, in a clip posted on YouTube, one man witnessed the evidence that he had impacted another person.

In the video, an elderly gentleman is lovingly peering down at a newborn baby when he realizes the child, his great-grandson, has been named after him.

“You’re kidding,” he says, as his eyes start to fill up with tears. “You’re kidding me.”

From that point forward, the great-grandfather is a puddle of tears. He is beyond moved by the gesture that his grandson thought enough of him to name his child after him.
