When tragedies strike, that's when you can easily spot the kindness of strangers. Our country has recently experienced horrific flooding, a mass shooting, and civil unrest. But despite these difficult moments, humanity has truly shown through. Rylee Preston was inspired by everyday heroes in the wake of Hurricane Harvey and her sweet song 'Pure Again' speaks to these individuals. Just listen to these powerful lyrics and be reminded that there is still good in this world. Even in the face of darkness, the light will shine through. What a beautiful song from young Rylee.

Country superstar Eric Church was a headliner at the Route 91 Harvest Festival just two days before the tragic shootings in Las Vegas. He stood on the very same stage as Jason Aldean did when shots started in on the crowd. After the incident, Church was watching an interview on CNN, he heard the story of Sonny Melton, who lost his life that night. Sonny's wife, Heather, spoke of how he was a huge Eric Church fan and they attended the festival all weekend. They even had plans to see Church at the Grand Ole Opry just a few days after the festival, but that never happened. Obviously, Church was filled with emotion and decided to put those feelings into a song. He penned 'Why Not Me' and dedicated it to Sonny. Today, he's performing this song for the first time at the Opry and saving 2 seats for Heather and Sonny. Let's continue to pray for all of those effected by these tragic events.

Has the thought ever crossed your mind that you might not be a good mother? Sometimes, life gets crazy and we might feel as if we're being pulled in a million directions. Between your spouse and your children, there is always something on your to-do list. Joyce Meyer uses a funny story about a husband and wife to illustrate just how amazing mothers truly are. Women take care of so many tiny details all throughout the day, even when they don't realize it. Never doubt that you are a good mother because you are absolutely incredible already. My heart needed to hear this story today.

Taya Smith is a worship leader with the popular band Hillsong United. Despite her faith in God, she's still experienced dark times in her life.

Use these words of worship to bring peace and light to those around you. Amen.

Ashley Hallford was a month into her first pregnancy when she noticed a strange lump on the back of her head. Weeks later, Ashley began to feel worse and worse and it was then that she received the news that her lump was cancerous. At just 33 weeks pregnant, Ashley was induced so that she would be able to start treatment. Just days after the birth of her sweet baby boy, she underwent surgery to remove the mass. When the results came back, Ashley and her husband were devastated to learn that she had stage 4 brain cancer. The doctors said the cancer was inoperable and gave her just days to live. But that's when her church started to pray and everything started to turn around. Ashley overcame all the odds and now she is cancer-free. God is so amazing in all of His ways!

Check out this video of Samoan firefighters that are singing a hymn and praising the Lord while marching to work! Just watch as they come down from the mountain singing praises to His name. The closer they get to the camera, the more joy and excitement you can see. What an incredible moment that shows their joy and love for the Lord! “With the recent wildfires that threatened different parts of the United States, help was sent out from American Samoa to assist firefighters,” reads the caption of this YouTube video. “They're called Hand Crews, generally their job is to protect natural resources from the threat of a blaze by using hand tools on the outrigs of a designated area to prevent fire from scorching further. It requires physical agility and endurance.” The caption continues: “Samoans are well known by the Fire Departments in all of the U.S. to be among the best hand crews. Listen as this "hand crew" of Samoans straight from the motherland do what all us Polynesians love to do when physically performing a task: sing. Their voices harmoniously echo through the forest as they approach their day's end in a symphony praising God for his protection and guidance over them. Isn't it beautiful?” What a wonderful sight to see! And they all have such great voices that are singing out a lovely song. They end the song with a chant in their language and a loud Amen! “Amazing!” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video. “They know where their help comes from. Such good voices.” We hope you enjoyed this video and it was able to bring a smile to your face today! Psalm 24:8-10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle! Lift up your heads, O gates! And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory! Selah

This mighty elephant were helpless when they found themselves stranded in the ocean. Somehow, they drifted out to sea and before they knew it they were gasping for air. These poor creatures could barely keep their trunks above water. Thankfully, naval officers quickly spotted the pair of elephants and came to their rescue. These amazing officers were able to tie ropes to the elephants and guide them back to shallow water. Once the elephants were able to feel the ground again, they could walk back to shore. What an amazing story of how being at the right place at the right time can truly save a life. Praise God that these beautiful creatures are okay!

This song always touches a place in my heart and hearing it like this is exactly what I needed right now. We all need to remember the love of Jesus Christ and use that as our example and guiding light.

When you see a catastrophe shown on the news, looks for those that are helping others and when you see them, you will know that there is hope. These are such powerful words and they ring so true today.

She had no idea that he would be flying the plane and you can see the joy written all over her face. There's nothing as sweet as the beautiful bond between a mother and son. I'm so glad someone caught this moment on camera!
