One man played a prank on his coworker and turned his entire workstation into a LEGO masterpiece.

Everyone must make a living and find a way to pay those pesky and annoying bills that seem to arrive every month. For most people, the answer to their bill issue is to get a 9-to-5 position that will pay enough to meet those financial obligations. That weekly or bi-weekly paycheck always makes going into the office worth it.

While we should all be grateful when the Lord provides us a way to make a living, working an everyday job can get old fast. Going to the same place and doing the same thing Monday through Friday can become dull and might even make you resent your place of work.

Well, one man found a way to bring a little change and add fun to his work life. Likely inspired by the classic television show The Office, one man played a hilarious prank on his coworker who was on vacation for two weeks.

In the clip posted on YouTube, the young man announces that he has decided to turn his coworker’s workstation, including his desk and computer, into the LEGO version. He only has two weeks to complete his prank, so he has to work fast.

His transformation begins easily enough with the contents of the coworker’s mug—pens, highlighters, scissors and the mug itself. Then, he quickly moves on to the stapler, tape dispenser and even the trash can.

Then, the young man unveils the LEGO computer screens that he has expertly crafted using the tiny toy blocks. Hilariously enough, the computer monitors are even built to make it appear his coworker is in the middle of a game of solitaire.

His handiwork is complete as he puts the final piece in place. He carries a smooth, large brown LEGO surface that will now serve as his coworker’s desk. Once he locks it into place, the transformation is finally finished.

When the man, Jerry, returns to find his workstation, which is now a LEGO masterpiece, he takes it all in stride. There were several laughs, and he even critiqued what he could have or should have done better.

Proverbs 17:22 “A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.”

The day began like any other—just another morning of lesson plans, grading, and greeting students. But when her phone buzzed in her pocket, it didn’t feel like an ordinary day. This teacher finds out she’s pregnant, and her co-workers react with pure joy! She answers the phone call that would change everything. 

On the other end of the line was a nurse delivering the news she had waited seven years to year. “Hey! You are pregnant,” the nurse said. The look on her face was one of pure joy and shock. It was as if the world had stopped for a moment. 

After seven long years of battling infertility, endless doctor appointments, and heartache after heartache, this news felt almost too good to be true. The good Lord knows this woman had to have cried, prayed, and pleaded for this moment, wondering if she would ever get to become a mother. And now, standing in her classroom, her knees nearly gave as she let the good news sink in. She no doubt felt so many raw emotions at once, like gratitude, joy, and disbelief. She pressed her hand to her mouth, hardly able to believe life was growing inside her.

Within seconds, word spread quickly, and her fellow friends and co-workers came rushing out of their classrooms. One by one, they gathered around her, eyes wide with excitement. They began jumping up and down, some squealing, others shouting with joy!  A few twirled in celebration, and before she knew it, she was wrapped in a sea of arms—friends who had stood by her through the toughest days and now were here to share in her joy. The joy in the air was infectious. It was as if the entire hallway had become a stage for a spontaneous celebration of life and love, all because God had answered her prayers.

For seven years, this teacher had waited for this moment. Seven years of longing, doubt, and countless prayers whispered into the night. It had been a journey of faith—one that had stretched her heart in ways she never expected. But now, standing in the middle of her friends’ God had answered her long-awaited prayer–a baby! Her struggles weren’t forgotten, but they had been redeemed. 

In that hallway, surrounded by laughter, tears, and heartfelt congratulations, it was clear: sometimes, the greatest miracles come after the longest waits. And when they do, they bring with them a flood of joy that makes every tear and prayer along the way worth it. It isn’t amazing the beautiful way God works through our most difficult seasons of waiting? 

1 Samuel 1:27 "For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I made to him."

After decades of chronic illness AND six near-death experiences, I felt that I was going to die soon and had a very very very poor quality of life, so I SINCERLY asked GOD what to do and he revealed what to do to be healed of most of my ailments. I do believe in time that GOD will take away me severe pain also. Bible, holistic living, and TTA to experience God's transformative power.

For one high school volleyball team in Colorado, a dream they never expected to come true became a reality when Selena Gomez showed up at their game. Telluride Middle/High School students had playfully created a sign asking the superstar to perform the national anthem at one of their home games. They had no idea their request would lead to an unforgettable encounter with the singer and actress.

The sign, held up by the volleyball team, read, “Selena, will you sing the national anthem at our game?” They weren’t expecting her to respond—after all, how often does a pop star come to high school games? But little did they know Selena was in town for a weekend festival. She saw the sign and did something incredibly kind and sweet.

Selena showed up in the gym and was met with stunned silence. No one could believe she was there! It took a few moments for everyone to realize that the woman walking in was, in fact, the very star they had invited. From the video, the silence quickly turned into an eruption of excitement. The girls shouted, “Selena!” Within seconds, students and fans rushed to greet her. Selena not only said hello to the girls but stayed for quite a while, happily interacting with the teens and taking photos with them. 

Even though Selena didn’t end up singing the national anthem, none of the teens minded in the least. Her presence alone seemed to make the day special.

In a post on social media later, Selena shared her joy in being able to surprise the team. “They asked!! Couldn’t help it, it’s my first time in Telluride!” she captioned the pictures of her visit. Her warmth and kindness shone through, giving these teens a memory they will forever cherish.

Selena’s visit was heartwarming for these teenagers when a simple act of kindness brightened their day. What started as a simple request on Instagram became an incredible moment these teens won't soon forget. Not every day, a pop star comes to a high school volleyball game. Thank God for unexpected moments that remind us of the importance of making time for others.

Hebrews 13:16 "And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased."

You’ll never believe how this 96-year-old grandpa has the best birthday celebration at the ballpark. When he shared his simple wish, his granddaughter Courtney rallied the family to make it happen. The wish was simple: to spend the day watching his favorite baseball team at the South Padres game with his family. But the bigger wish was to see himself on the jumbotron. 

As they arrived at the stadium, one family member proudly held a huge sign that read, “Happy 96th Birthday, Grandpa.” It didn’t take long for the excitement to spread among the crowds who saw the sign. Fans started cheering as the group made their way to their seats, giving Grandpa many birthday wishes to have a great birthday. 

His granddaughter Courtney captured it all on camera, too. “It’s amazing to witness the goodness of people,” Courtney wrote alongside the video, capturing the overwhelming kindness from everyone around them. As the game progressed, many things made the day even more special. One woman caught a foul ball and didn’t hesitate to give it to the special birthday boy instead of keeping it. Of course, there was still one final wish that everyone hoped would come true–to see Grandpa on the big screen. It wasn’t too long before Grandpa saw himself up there. He couldn't help but smile and wave! 

All in all, it was the perfect birthday celebration. This elderly gentleman got to spend the day with his loved ones, take home a foul ball as a keepsake, and finally get his wish to be on the big screen. Stories like this remind us how beautiful life is when we celebrate with loved ones. It’s not the things that matter but making memories together. 

Psalm 118:24 "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

Imagine the transformative power of a small, fluffy pony trotting into a hospital room, bringing joy and comfort that brightens even the darkest day. A therapy pony brings comfort to hospital patients during an emotional visit.

While therapy dogs are well-known for their comforting presence, therapy ponies are making waves in the world of animal-assisted therapy, thanks to the dedicated work of Sarah Woodland. With her heart set on spreading joy, Sarah brings her charming ponies to visit those in need of a little extra cheer, including patients in hospitals and residents in nursing homes. Her ponies, often adorned with cute bows and outfits, add an extra touch of delight to their visits.

In a touching video shared online, Sarah captured the heartwarming moment when her ponies, Tinks and Poppy, met an elderly hospital patient. The small horses, dressed in adorable attire, trotted into the hospital room and immediately brightened the atmosphere. The patient’s reaction was priceless—pure joy and amazement.

As the elderly woman gently reached out to stroke Poppy, her face lit up with tears of happiness. The serene connection she shared with the pony was a poignant reminder of animals' profound impact on our well-being. Sarah, who was kneeling beside Poppy, looked on with evident emotion. 

Animals bring us comfort and joy in simple and profound ways. Their presence can calm our anxieties, offering unconditional love and companionship that brightens even the darkest days. Whether it's the soothing purr of a cat, a dog's wagging tail, or a horse's gentle nuzzle, animals have a unique ability to make us feel seen, understood, and cherished. They remind us of the beauty in everyday moments and teach us the value of kindness and connection, enriching our lives with their playful spirits and loyal hearts.

Sarah’s dedication goes beyond the visits themselves. She also ensures her ponies are impeccably groomed, sharing a heartwarming behind-the-scenes look at their preparation. The love and care she invests in her therapy ponies highlight the profound difference kindness and compassion can make in the lives of others.

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

A 6-year-old roamed around a hospital sharing the exciting news about his new heart with several hospital staff members.

A stay in the hospital, no matter the length of time, is never fun. Regardless of how friendly, caring and courteous the doctors and nurses are, a medical facility is a place no one wants to be in at any time. Of course, that is because being in the hospital means someone is sick and needs medical attention.

For that reason, hospitals are often frightening places. When one is administered to a hospital, many questions and scenarios will inevitably pop up in your head. Now, imagine you're a child who’s in the hospital because you badly need a new heart. That was the exact scenario facing 6-year-old John-Henry Lee.

A clip posted on YouTube catches the young man's excitement and utter joy as he walks around the Cleveland Clinic, informing hospital staff members of the good news.

"Phyllis, "I'm getting a new heart!" John-Henry tells one woman sitting down.

"What! Oh, my goodness, John-Henry!" she responds to the young man's good news.

While walking down the hallway, the 6-year-old meets another staff member and tells her the good news.

"I'm getting a new heart!" he says"

"I know! Yes!" the woman says as she gives John-Henry a high-five.

Right before getting on the elevator, John-Henry lets someone else know about his upcoming transplant surgery.

"I'm getting a new heart!" the sweet child says.

"Yeah, that's wonderful," the man standing outside the elevator responds.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, the young man was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, which is "a rare congenital heart condition where one side of the heart doesn't develop correctly," John-Henry has undergone several operations over the years to try and correct the condition.

However, doctors later determined that John-Henry needed a new heart. In May, John-Henry and his family learned of a match.

"When the transplant coordinator said they found his special heart, I immediately broke down," said John-Henry's mother, Sarah Lee.

A grandfather took an unexpected and heartwarming detour as a family arrived excited to meet a newborn baby.

Children are among the best ways the Lord blesses our lives. They will forever positively change and impact your life in every way imaginable. There is nothing quite like being a parent. Watching a youngster grow, learn and explore will fill you with immeasurable joy and contentment.

Everyone loves children, especially babies. Look at how people flock to newborns. Immediately after a child is born, many visitors, even people you haven’t seen in years, will visit and parade through the hospital room. Then, they all quietly await their turn to hold the young one.

That is the typical behavior of people after a child has been born. However, some people will become so concerned and consumed with the newborn and not the woman who had just given birth to the baby. They badly want to see the child that they forget about the exhausted mother whose body has just gone through a physically and mentally demanding ordeal.

A sweet video posted on social media shows that not everyone forgets about the mother after a child has been born. The clip begins with text explaining that a baby girl has just been born and shows a family excitedly rushing into the room to see the child.

However, one person, the grandfather, makes a detour. Instead of running up to the infant, he heads over to the hospital bed to see his baby, his daughter, who has just given birth.

After sneaking a peak at the child as he walks by, the grandfather comes over to his daughter and gives her a big, loving and warm embrace.

Yes, the birth of a child is exciting. It’s a new life that the Lord has brought into the world. However, let’s not forget those women who helped bring in those little miracles.

What a sweet, special and tear-jerking moment between father and daughter.

Psalms 103:13 “As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.”

Consider the last time you felt cherished and as if you held infinite value. Sadly, many of us might encounter more criticism than affirmation and acceptance. But that is precisely why it’s so important that we recognize how God views us. Hear Reverend Kyle Norman’s and Chaka Heinze’s insights on how such understanding helps heal our wounds, remove unhealthy defensiveness, elevate our perspectives, and replace our insecurities with godly confidence.

A young man discovers he is being adopted in a beautiful surprise. Birthdays are often filled with cake, presents, and joyful celebrations, but for one young man, his special day brought an unexpected and life-changing surprise. Surrounded by the love of his foster parents, he had no idea that this birthday would mark the beginning of a new chapter in his life.

As the candles on his banana glowed warmly, he read the message tucked inside: a surprise awaited him outside. Eagerly, he followed his foster parents, who blindfolded him and handed him a bat. In front of him hung two piñatas—one labeled "Trip to Disney" and the other "Adoption."

With encouragement from both his foster mom and dad, he swung with all his might, the sound of cheers filling the air as he worked to knock them down. When both piñatas finally gave way, his foster mom gently instructed him to remove the blindfold.

As his eyes adjusted, he saw the remnants of the piñatas and the joyous expressions on his foster parents' faces. His foster mom, full of love and emotion, told him how much he meant to them, how deeply they cared for him, and that they wanted him to be a part of their forever home. It was at that moment that he realized—he was being adopted.

This beautiful surprise was more than just an announcement; it was proof of his foster parents' love and commitment to him. It was a moment that embodied Jesus' call to care for the orphaned, to welcome them into our hearts and homes just as God adopts us into His family.

The joy and love in that moment were undeniable, a true reflection of what it means to be cherished and wanted. For this young man, his birthday became more than just a celebration of another year—it became the day he found his forever family.

What a beautiful way to show someone they are loved, valued, and truly home. This story is a powerful reminder of the importance of family, the joy of adoption, and the unconditional love that binds us all together.

James 1:27 "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

Unmet expectations, life’s uncertainties, and the difficulties we face can leave us feeling anxious and afraid. We might fear that God provide what we need or won’t come through in time. Yet, it is in those uncomfortable seasons that we often most experience God’s faithfulness.

A man in his 90s braved the world’s fastest zipline for the sweetest, most heartwarming reason possible.

Whether we’d like to admit it or not, everyone has fears. Some people fear spiders or anything that creeps and crawls around on the ground. Others don’t particularly enjoy flying and would rather get around by car, train or other transportation. Still, different individuals have a paralyzing fear of heights. Some people can only get a few off the ground before they start fearing for their safety.

Sometimes, fears are good and healthy and keep us safe when the threat and possibility of danger are very real. However, fear usually does nothing but hold us back from experiencing and doing new and exciting things. When we build up enough courage and force ourselves to face our fears, it is one of the greatest feelings in the world.

However, a 94-year-old man, David, refused to let fear hold him back from going down the world’s fast zipline. As the video posted on social media points out, David conquered the high-speed zipline in memory of his late wife, June.

The clip shows David putting on the helmet and the other proper gear needed to complete a successful zipline ride. Before taking on the world’s fastest zipline, David does one that has a maximum speed between 30 and 40 mph. After that one is complete, it’s on to the next zipline.

Then, David hops onto a truck that takes him to the top of a mountain, where the world’s fastest zipline is located. The text explains that the zipline reaches speeds near 100 miles per hour, which David easily completes.

The video explains that David’s zipline rides were part of his fundraising initiative for the hospice location that cared for his beloved wife near the end of her life.

What a sweet and emotional clip! It is sure to bring tears to the eyes of many.

"One day, you're playing basketball at home with your dad before you start 7th grade, and the next, you're playing the night before you get married," Tori Flowers poignantly shared. This beautiful bride-to-be and her dad share a touching basketball moment before her wedding day. Grab a box of tissues because you’ll be so touched to witness this beautiful moment.

Dressed in a white dress adorned with flowing flowers, Tori cherished one last game in the dark with her dad before he would walk her down the aisle the next day. This heartfelt moment captures the enduring bond between fathers and their daughters, a bond that transcends time and milestones.

No matter what stage of life you find yourself in, the relationship between a daughter and her dad holds a special place. From childhood games and bedtime stories to shared secrets and words of wisdom, dads often play a pivotal role in shaping their daughters' lives. They are the first heroes, the constant pillars of support, and the source of unconditional love.

As Tori and her dad dribbled the basketball under the night sky, their game symbolized more than just a playful moment. It represented years of laughter, encouragement, and guidance shared between them. For Tori, her father's presence on the eve of her wedding was a reassuring reminder of their bond—a bond that remains steadfast as she transitions into a new chapter of life.

"Daddy's little girl" is not just a phrase but a heartfelt truth echoed in countless moments like these. It's the comfort of a father's arms during tough times, the pride in his eyes during achievements, and the warmth of his smile during special occasions. In every hug, every shared laugh, and every tender moment, the love between fathers and daughters blossoms into a lifelong connection that stands the test of time.

As Tori Flowers prepared to say "I do," her game of basketball with her dad became a cherished memory woven into the fabric of their relationship—a testament to the enduring bond between daughters and dads, forever and always.

Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

A brilliant young man graduated from high school at just 12 years old.

An education, obtaining information and knowledge, is invaluable. Money can be lost, materials and items can be stolen or destroyed, but education can never be taken away. Once you have that knowledge, no one can ever steal it from you, which is one of the reasons why going to school is so important. Knowledge, as the saying goes, is power.

An education allows people to do more things and fulfill more jobs and roles. Employers are always looking for individuals with the knowledge and know-how to do the job. Get yourself educated, and the possibilities are endless.

Suborno Isaac Bari is not an ordinary young man. He is highly gifted and blessed with an incredible level of intelligence and book smarts. According to a video posted on YouTube, the 12-year-old recently graduated from a high school in New York state.

Text in the video points out that Suborno skipped several grades to graduate from high school at such a young age. He skipped the 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, and 11th grades along the way to receiving his high school diploma before he was even old enough to drive a car.

A humorous photo at the beginning of the clip perfectly captures and emphasizes Suborno’s youth and what an incredible achievement it was for him to graduate so young. In that picture, Suborno is wearing a blue cap and gown at his high school graduation, but he’s surrounded by his classmates, who tower over him.

After graduating from high school, Suborno will continue to challenge himself academically. The video states that he will attend New York University on a scholarship and study math and physics. The clip adds that the young man hopes to earn a doctorate and become a college professor.

What an absolutely amazing young man!

Proverbs 1:7 “The fear of the Lord is the start of knowledge: but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.”

Talena holds a special bond with her great-grandmother, Terri Waddell. Not only does Talena adore Terri, but she cherishes the memories of wearing the dresses Terri lovingly made for her as a child. Their shared love for fashion has always been a beautiful connection between them. However, when Terri recently confided, “I don’t feel pretty,” Talena knew she had to act. You don’t want to miss this great-grandmother’s sweet shopping trip. It will bring a smile to your face and perhaps make you a little misty-eyed.

“Straight away, I had this light bulb moment,” Talena recalled. “We’ve got to go shopping.” Determined to bring back the light, love, and confidence within her great-grandmother, Talena and her mother planned a unique girls’ day out. Their mission was clear: to remind Terri of her beauty and strength.

The trio set off on their fashion adventure, visiting several boutiques and trying on an array of dresses. They even decided to dress in the same outfits, showcasing how fashion transcends generations. Terri's eyes sparkled with joy and pride when she saw herself standing beside her daughter and great-granddaughter in the mirror.

As they twirled in front of the dressing room mirrors,their bondm grew even stronger. Laughter filled the air as they swapped dresses and shared fashion tips. The once-diminished light in Terri’s eyes began to shine brightly again.

Terri’s transformation was remarkable. With each dress she tried on, her confidence blossomed. She was no longer the 97-year-old who felt unseen; she was a radiant, stylish woman enjoying every moment with her beloved family.

This heartwarming day out was more than just a shopping trip. It was a celebration of love, family, and the power of lifting each other up. Talena’s thoughtful gesture reminded her great-grandmother of her timeless beauty and strength, proving that a bit of love and fashion can indeed lift the soul.

In a world where we often forget to appreciate the small things, this beautiful story of Talena and Terri is a reminder of the profound impact of kindness and love. Their day out was not just about finding the perfect dress but about rekindling a cherished bond and making memories that will last a lifetime.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."

A random and unexpected conversation with a stranger brightened up one woman’s entire day.

Words are powerful, able to cut down and hurt and uplift, encourage and motivate. What we say and how we say it matters a great deal. Anyone who says that old, popular adage, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me,” could not be more wrong.

The Bible makes it abundantly clear that the words we say matter a great deal. In the Old Testament book of Proverbs, the tongue is said to have the power of life and death. The tongue may be a small part of the body, but the Word of God advises that it be used wisely and with wisdom.

A short clip posted on social media is a perfect example of the power of an uplifting and encouraging word. In the video, a woman in a wheelchair is hurrying to catch a bus but is unexpectedly stopped by a stranger. The man and the young woman go on to have a short but meaningful conversation.

He tells her he thinks she looks lovely and likes stopping people who “have something.” He then asks her name and a few questions about her life.  He proceeds to ask her about the biggest challenge she has overcome in her life.

“Learning how to cope with becoming chronically ill,” she says. “It started getting quite severe around two years ago.”

The woman reveals that her sweet interaction with the stranger has been “really nice” because she was “having a bad day” up until their conversation. She says it was because people were “being not so nice.”

She ends the video by giving the man some wisdom and words to live by.

“Probably just to always persevere,” she says.

We never know how much our words or actions will impact or influence someone else's lives. Always consider your words because once they leave your mouth, you can never put them back in.

Proverbs 18:21 “Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and those to whom it is dear will have its fruit for their food.”

Get ready for the tissues. A brother shows support for his sister fighting cancer in the sweetest way.

A beautiful teen girl is given a horrible diagnosis of cancer. Her long and gorgeous brown locks are being cut and shaved off in preparation for chemotherapy. To show support as her tears fall from her eyes and she grabs a tissue, she turns to her kind-hearted brother standing right next to her and gives him a smile as his head is shaved for support. 

The brave young woman shared that she went to the ER in March, and they discovered a cancerous mass. She tells how her lymphoma is very hostile and quick, so it needs treatment fast. The girl's name is Tita Hall, and she tells how her family has been by her side during every step of the process. She shares with a smile as Tita tells how her brother Levi was with her when she was getting her head shaved, and she thought he was kidding around about getting his head shaved. To her surprise, he sat down and shaved his head, too. She was so proud and encouraged by his actions. 

The brother Levi says that he wanted to be there for her and he jokes that he was also in bad need of a haircut. Tita has finished 3/6 rounds of chemo now. She tells boldly, “I didn’t take this as why is God punishing me. I took it as what can I do to help others in this situation.” She chose to share her story virtually to encourage others. 

Her mother then tells about how she has always been positive since she was born. She reveals that when they found out about the cancer, her brave daughter turned to her and told her mother that she was going to be ok. She said, “That’s her character.” This girl has modeled such faith and security that God loves her and has a plan in the midst of her pain. It is truly inspiring. Please pray for her.

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” James 1:2-4
