Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson surprised a school with an incredible gift. The actor and wrestler responded to a school in England with something that no one saw coming, and needless to say, they were overjoyed. Watch the short, but powerful and heartwarming clip to hear how The Rock responded to an elementary school that reached out to him on social media.

Unfortunately, we live in a lost and fallen world. Everywhere we look, we see examples of this undeniable fact. Social media is full of people profanely lashing out at one another. Every television news broadcast has stories of the latest vicious, fatal shooting. It’s clear that when it comes to hatred, malice and cruelty, there is an overwhelming surplus in this world.

But what about kindness, love and empathy? We are severely lacking, that’s for sure. So, what does it take to show someone a little bit of love and kindness? It requires very little time and really no talent or skill to make someone else’s day a little more pleasant and enjoyable.

In a clip posted on social media, Dwayne showed unbelievable love and kindness to a group of schoolchildren in England, surprising them with an incredible gift they didn't see coming.

The segment begins with a clip of the children reaching out to The Rock, saying that if he simply commented on their post, they would all get to go on a trip to see the upcoming live-action “Moana” film. It was a long shot, but sometimes long shots do pay off, and as it turned out, this one did as well.

Not only did he respond to the kids, but he also recorded a video for them and went much further than just that. He announced that he would be renting out a theater for them so that they, their friends and family could see the film completely free of charge.

Oh, and all the drinks and snacks were on him as well.

Yes, there are some people in positions who can do more extravagant, eye-catching things for others. But regardless of our financial situation, we can still show others kindness and love.  We can all do something to make others feel loved and appreciated.

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.”

This calming nightly prayer reminds believers that true help and peace come from the Lord, even during overwhelming seasons of life.

Ainsley Earhardt joins Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust to discuss her new children’s book America, I’m So Glad You Were Born and why she believes kids should grow up appreciating what makes the nation unique. She explains how America’s upcoming 250th birthday inspired the project and why themes like freedom, faith, unity and gratitude were important to include. Earhardt also opens up about raising her daughter in New York City, navigating political differences with grace and staying grounded spiritually while working in television news. Plus, she shares the demanding behind-the-scenes routine of co-hosting Fox News’s Fox & Friends.

I told him to open a package for me like it was nothing, just a normal day, but he had no idea what was actually inside. For context, we’ve been DoorDashing together lately as a way for me to make some extra money, and he’s been tagging along. The other day when I asked if he wanted to go again, he asked if I could help him pay to fix the battery in his phone… but instead, I decided to surprise him with a new one. Watching him go from confused to slowly realizing it was his is something I’ll never forget. He kept looking at me like it wasn’t real, and that moment meant more than I expected. Sometimes the smallest surprises turn into the biggest memories.

This encouraging prayer reminds believers that God can bring life, healing, and hope into even the emptiest seasons of life.

This business has the sweetest, most heartwarming policy. The company has a very unconventional, surprising approach to conducting business. Watch the short but tear-jerking clip to hear how this business is doing things differently and winning hearts and bringing tears to eyes in the process.

In today’s day and age, it seems that most people are looking out for themselves, and only for themselves. As long as they get theirs, that is all that truly matters. Sadly, the self is the biggest motivating and driving factor for most people. Who cares what happens to or becomes of anyone else, right?

While this selfish, self-centered approach is evident in every aspect of life, it’s arguably the most apparent in the business world. Every day, it seems we hear how much this or that CEO makes a year, or how much they get when this massive company merges with that colossal one. This happens while people struggle to keep up with the rising costs of, well, everything, where a trip to the grocery store takes an ever-increasing bite out of your wallet.

A clip posted on social media shows a company that is doing things very differently. While they are likely not making a massive profit or have a CEO taking home millions of dollars every year, they are demonstrating their love for some of their smallest and most empty-handed customers.

In the video, two Maddy’s Ice Cream & More employees are working frantically in the back of their truck. They are hurriedly trying to get their customers ice cream. However, at one point, one of the women mentions that a little boy mentions that he doesn’t have any money. So, he starts to leave.

But before he gets too far, one of the women mentions that it isn’t a problem at all.

“Tell him to come back,” she says. “I’m still going to give it to him.”

Before the video ends, the woman turns to the camera and shares the company’s heartwarming policy.

“We don’t turn kids away when they don’t have money,” she adds. “You want an ice cream from Maddy? You get an ice cream from Maddy.”

Romans 12:10 “Be kind to one another with a brother’s love, putting others before yourselves in honor;”

You can fulfill destiny without vision

This peaceful nightly prayer encourages believers to stop striving in their own strength and rest in the sustaining presence of Christ.

Cliffe Knechtle and Stuart Knechtle say they are seeing a growing spiritual hunger among Gen Z as more young people search for meaning, purpose and answers to life’s biggest questions. In this interview with Crosswalk Talk's Michael Foust about their new book, "Demolishing Doubt," the father-son duo discuss why apologetics matters in today’s culture and how they engage skeptics on college campuses nationwide. They assert that many young adults are growing disillusioned with materialism, secularism and what they described as the “hollowness” of a godless worldview. The two also share why they believe Christianity offers both intellectual answers and personal healing for a generation struggling with anxiety, division and loneliness.

This encouraging prayer reminds believers that God is their faithful source of help, strength, and hope through every obstacle and mountain in life.

Firefighters came to the rescue of a child in a tight spot. The little boy found himself in an unfortunate position, which required the assistance of some of the country’s finest. Watch the short but powerful clip to see the cramped area in which the boy found himself unable to escape.

Children have a knack for getting themselves into strange and often inexplicable situations, as all parents know. Those little ones, even though they may have been told 1,000 times to avoid this place or stay away from that, will do it anyway. I’m not sure there is anything more frustrating as a parent than when a child, despite the many warnings and stern lectures, does exactly what they were warned against.

Yes, that is aggravating, to say the least, but do we ever really outgrow that behavior? If we’re being honest with ourselves, we can probably name instances when our total disregard for prior warnings landed us in troubling positions. How many people can say their poor decisions and less-than-stellar choices didn’t result in problems and massive headaches? We’ve all been there and done that.

A clip posted on YouTube shows how a little guy’s poor decision left him stuck on the stairs, with little to no ability to move. He, for whatever reason, put his head through the railing of a staircase. While the young man had thought it was a good idea in the moment, he soon learned it was a rather poor choice.

The 2-year-old child was stuck, and getting him free required help from an entire group of firefighters. Although he was stuck, at least for a short period of time, all was not lost. The video shows the young man watching an episode of “Bluey” as he waited for the team to do their thing and get him out.

I’m guessing that he will not be doing that move ever again. But then again, children can have a hard time learning their lesson, so who knows, the crew may have to come back and free him again sometime.

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”

Having faith: Faith is explicitly named as a core requirement to be in God's "good books" and to receive His favor. Abraham is highlighted as a prime example of someone who successfully pleased God and obtained His favor directly through his faith. Actively seeking God’s favor through prayer and fasting is essential because it prioritizes God's approval above all else, above the fleeting, fragile favor of any human being.

Winter hung on. Three different times we made trips to Dawson for more whiskey and grub. We drank so much that we began to experience delirium tremens. One night Jimmie Miller had severe delirium tremens and a fever. In great agony he cried, "Get me a doctor! Don't let me lie here and die!" But we were 40 miles from Dawson City. It was 40 below zero and the snow was deep. Then I remembered the little medicine kit in the old trunk. When I opened it, out fell the little black book onto the floor my daughter had given me. "It's that Bible, curse it!" I said, as I walked over to the stove to burn it. "Don't throw it in!" Wally shouted. "Don't you know we haven't a thing to read in this godforsaken country? The only magazine we have - I've read 20 times!" and he snatched the Bible from my hand. "If you want to read it, go ahead, but I won't!" I exclaimed.

“After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.” — Hosea 6:2 To God alone be the glory for all the times and seasons of life. Easter has been celebrated, and life must continue. Our daily walk with God must reflect the fullness of the gospel. The above Scripture in Hosea 6:2—is a powerful prophetic declaration that finds its fulfillment in the Old Testament prophecy and its realization in the New Testament. This verse can be understood in two ways. First, it reflects the prophet Hosea calling Israel to return to the Lord. The nation of Israel had been unfaithful and was experiencing the wounds of divine discipline, as seen in Hosea 5:13. Now, the people acknowledge that God has torn them like a lion, yet they also believe that He will heal because He is merciful. So this was their confession of hope: that although God’s judgment and wrath are real, they are not permanent. Indeed God’s anger is intended to restore relationship and restore His people—not to destroy them... Read more @ https://www.encountertheglorymagazine.com/

My best friend Bethany couldn’t make it to my wedding. So my mom contacted her to help her surprise me on my wedding day. She arrived an hour before I was supposed to walk down the aisle and wasn’t even there for 24 hours. This is my reaction. Credit: @jekyahspeaks

I surprised my family by announcing I was pregnant and told them we were doing a gender reveal. Then I shocked them all over again by revealing it was TWINS — two babies, two genders, and double sized reactions. Credit: EmmeGraceMorgan
