Check out this sweet video of a husband planning an epic proposal do-over for his wife of 25 years!

Recently, Katie Prentiss traveled to New York City from Oregon with her 17-year-old daughter for what she thought was a mother-daughter vacation. While they were in Central Park, Katie thought her daughter was just taking a photo of her, when in fact, she was filming a big surprise that was about to unfold.

When Katie turned around, she saw her husband of 25 years next to her! By the look on her face, she was completely shocked. “What are you doing? Why are you here? I’m so confused!” Katie exclaimed.

Katie’s husband, Brian, had secretly flown to New York to surprise her with the romantic proposal she never got 25 years ago.

“You didn’t get a romantic proposal the first time around. So, I thought I’d try again by flying to Central Park and surprising you,” said Brian. Are you surprised?”

His wife shouted out an excited ‘Yes!’ As Brian is down on one knee, he proposes to his wife again. “After 25 years, I would love to spend the rest of my life with you again. And would love to marry you again. You can make me happy forever.”

After the heartwarming moment, there was applause from the onlookers in Central Park as well as happy tears from the couple. And the couple’s daughter was able to get the whole thing on video!

“I thought that it was so cute,” Katie shared in an interview after the proposal. “He actually practiced what he wanted to say this time, and I’m like, ‘I’m a sure thing, buddy!’”

What a wonderful love story! Katie and Brian have had the pleasure of raising four children together, and after 25 years, the love between the two of them is still going strong.

Actor Tom Holland treated a brave little boy who saved his sister from a dog attack to a day he will never forget on the "Spider-Man: No Way Home" set.

Last summer, seven-year-old Bridger Walker made headlines when he jumped in front of a charging dog to save his sister. And his heroic act caught the attention of Tom Holland, the actor who plays Spider-Man. Tom commended Bridger for his bravery and invited him and his family to the set of the newest Spider-Man movie.

Bridger’s dad, Robert, shared about the family’s time on set on his Instagram and showed videos and photos of his kids spending time with the cast and crew. Tom took Bridger web-swinging, taught him Spider-Man’s signature move, and even gave Bridger his own Spider-Man mask.

Robert said that Tom and other cast members “made our kids feel like stars.” In his Instagram caption, he wrote: “The look on the kids’ faces was priceless when we rounded the blue screen to see Tom, in full costume, high above the set on a light post. It was emotional to see him wave at the kids like he was the one that was supposed to be excited – not the other way around.”

He continued, “A short time later, Tom and Zendaya came over. I will never forget the grace and kindness they showed our children. Zendaya immediately approached my teenage daughter and told her how much she loved her nails. I don’t know if she will ever know how much that simple act means to me – to see my sweet daughter light up with self-confidence and joy.”

What an incredible day on set for Bridger and his family! This brave little boy who saved his sister from a dog attack is already a hero, but how fun for him to meet a Marvel superhero!

Most have heard Captain von Trapp and Maria’s beautiful duet of “Edelweiss,” but listen as this modern-day husband and wife sing the nostalgic song in their own unique way! 

 

The Sound of Music came out in 1965, and it is televised in December each year. With a few exceptions for dramatic purposes, the musical tells the true story of The Von Trapp Family, the meeting and relationship of Georg and Maria, and the family’s escape from Austria after it was taken over by Germany and the Nazi army. 

 

“Edelweiss” is sung at two critical moments in the film. First, Captain von Trapp sings it with his children, Maria, Max, and a female friend looking on. This is the point at which Captain von Trapp and Maria realize that they are falling in love. It is performed again at a large concert—the place of their daring escape. Captain von Trapp is in despair over what’s ahead for his country and he’s sad, though convicted, to leave. These are pivotal and emotional moments for the two.

 

These performances are moving and impactful, and, evidently, they made an impression on Michael and Ellen Haygood who stated, in this post, that “Edelweiss” is one of their favorite songs! After a community theater production of The Sound of Music, Ellen reported that they decided to do their own version of the classic. 

 

Their performance has a more American and less European bent, with the banjo added to the guitar. In case you’re wondering, an edelweiss is a mountain plant that has wooly, white leaves around small flowers. But, the mountains in this performance are the Ozark Mountains instead of the Alps. There is more twang and less formality here as well. Nonetheless, Michael and Ellen perform the song beautifully! 

 

That’s not surprising, though. If you live in the midwest, the name “Haygood” may be familiar. After all, The Haygoods have been a mainstay on the Branson, Missouri music scene for nearly 30 years. What’s more, Ellen (Peterson) Haygood comes from a musical family herself, and she appeared on American Idol way back in 2015 before ever becoming a Haygood! 

 

Michael and Ellen met and bonded in Branson over their faith and their love of music and aviation. Are they not the most adorable couple! The Sound of Music’s Georg and Maria are lookers, but Michael and Ellen are seriously cute, too! 

 

Michael and Ellen, please keep singing and bringing to us all of your favorites! 

 

“May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the Lord.” Psalm 104:34 

 

Listen to this talented guitar-playing teen sing a beautiful rendition of ‘I Got Saved.’

If the girl in the video looks familiar to you, that’s probably because you’ve seen her singing alongside her family. Peyton Detty performs with her younger sister as ‘The Detty Sisters’ and with their mom as ‘The Detty Family.’

God called this faithful family a few years ago to spread His Word through music. Although this took them outside of their comfort zones, Amber Detty and her girls began sharing their lovely voices with the world.

They have about 130,000 subscribers on Youtube both from their small, Ohio hometown and from across the country. It’s easy to fall in love with this adorable family!

At the young age of 13, Peyton Detty can play guitar like a pro and sing like she’s had a lifetime of vocal training! Children with outstanding talents like this are such blessings, and Peyton continuously uses her gift from God to share His love.

Beyond the family’s impressive covers and music videos, they also post shorter music clips on TikTok — like this video of Peyton singing ‘I Got Saved.’

The gospel group, Selah, originally released ‘I Got Saved’ about five years ago on their album titled, Unbreakable. The group tends to cover Christian classics like, ‘You Raise Me Up,’ and they also create new inspiring worship music just like ‘I Got Saved.’

A small section of this song’s lyrics shows just how powerful their music can be.

Since then I walk in forgiveness
All of my guilt was erased
The chains of the past
Are broken at last

Songs like this are great for worshipers of all ages — Peyton shows us just that. Keep sharing your song and His word, Peyton! You are blessed with such a beautiful gift for music.

That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes to righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. Romans 10:9-10

Check out this fun video of a flight attendant rapping during a flight delay and everyone on board cheering for her after her creative performance!

“How do you keep airline passengers from getting grumpy during a delay?” reads the caption of the YouTube video. “One Southwest flight attendant in Phoenix, Arizona had a brilliant creative stroke and rapped her pre-flight instructions to a seemingly appreciative and captive audience.”

Steph Green is a flight attendant whose creativity and upbeat energy is truly captivating. And she put together such a fun way to deliver information that is usually ignored by plane passengers.

“Carry-on bags under the seat on the floor, and there’s an overhead compartment where they can be stored. Fasten your seatbelts, make ‘em nice and tight. You better do ‘em good, we’re gonna check if they’re right. Seat back and trays, lock it up right. Pretty soon the ground will be out of sight,” raps the flight attendant.

After this Southwest flight out of Phoenix, AZ was announced that the plane would be delayed due to multiple issues, Steph was still able to bring some smiles to her passengers with her rap!

“Are we ready to go? What do you say? Welcome aboard SWA!” she says.

The passengers are clapping along to her rap and then loudly cheering for her when she finishes up her performance.

“It's nice to see people trying to make the best out of a bad situation, props for her,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video.

“That would really ease my nervousness for flying. She was good!” writes another person.

Way to go, Steph! Your ability to turn an unpleasant flight delay into something that brings people joy is truly special. May we all go about our days looking for ways to bring smiles to others and look on the bright side of things.

I had a vision during worship and saw a huge sphere of boxes and in each box a fire was lit and each box opened, and joined together to make a large fire of unity. Then from above the light of God came down and began to release the people into a spiral movement, but beyond that, they became sent ones.

You have to check out this fabulous video of five siblings playing five different pianos while performing the Christmas classic ‘Sleigh Ride.’

In the video, The 5 Browns are performing who are five sibling pianists – Deondra, Desirae, Gregory, Melody, and Ryan. And they all are Julliard-trained pianists! The pianos that they are playing on are crafted by Steinway & Sons, who are makers of some of the world’s finest pianos.

“Here, they perform an enchanting five-piano version of Leroy Anderson’s ‘Sleigh Ride,’ wondrously arranged by Steinway Artist Greg Anderson, at the New York Steinway Factory,” reads the caption of the video.

It is remarkable to watch them all play at the same time, and it is so fun to compare their different styles as well. They not only sound wonderful together, but look so cool, too! They are like a full orchestra with just pianos! And having all the pianos open lets the viewer see the inner workings of the instruments which is very fun.

“Put a smile on my face and joy in my heart,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video. “What talent!”

“Brilliant arrangement of this classic, and very well played, indeed. Kudos,” writes another person online.

The song in this video is featured in their latest release on the Steinway & Sons label, “Christmas With The 5 Browns.” This video is part of Steinway & Sons’ Music & Vision series, which delivers performances across musical genres in wide-ranging locations, featuring instruments crafted by Steinway & Sons.

Five pianists, five different expressions. What a treat! We hope that you enjoyed watching this beautiful piano arrangement of ‘Sleigh Ride’ today!

John 1:9-10 “The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him…”

Listen to this amazing performance of ‘Over The River’ by Pentatonix and featuring Lindsey Stirling.

“Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh through white and drifted snow
Over the river and through the woods, oh, how the wind does blow
It stings the toes and bites the nose as over the ground we go” 

Pentatonix recently released an epic cover of ‘Over The River,’ and their rendition of the haunting folk song features all five members of the group. The talented violinist Lindsey Stirling is also featured in the song.

In the video, Pentatonix sounds absolutely phenomenal, and the costumes and lighting for the music video add such great drama to the performance. It is not just a treat for the ears but for the eyes as well!

The violin and cello sound wonderful together, and the way their voices blend with one another sounds so mystical and full. Pentatonix never ceases to amaze! And many of their fans online agree.

“Pentatonix has never failed to give me chills in 10 years,” comments one person after watching the music video. “They just glow no matter what they do.”

“Only they can turn a kid's song into something that is magical. Love it!” writes another person online.

The group’s rendition of ‘Over The River’ is from their new holiday album titled Evergreen. Currently, Pentatonix is on their Evergreen Christmas Tour 2021, and it has been incredibly popular with fans. The tour kicked off with a sold-out performance on opening night in Baltimore, MD on November 27th and is continuing on sellout pace through December 23rd.

We hope that you enjoyed listening to Pentatonix’s cover of ‘Over The River’ and it was able to bring a smile to your face today!

Watch and be wowed by this gifted skating couple as the duo earns first place with their performance of their routine titled “Egyptian Snake Charmer!” You may have a whole new appreciation for the repellent reptiles afterward!

Evan Bates, 32, and Madison Chock, 29, play the charmer and the snake, respectively, in this free dance that is both visually stunning and athletically impeccable. From the first moments of guarded interaction between charmer and snake until the final friendly pose, the skaters’ every expression, gesture, and move is on point!

Madison wears a gold, green, and brown costume that shimmers and mimics scales; long, transparent pieces with a texture not unlike snakeskin dangle down her legs. Her black hair is fixed in an intricate braid, and she uses her dark eyes to warn and welcome her charmer partner. While Evan’s attire isn’t as glitzy as Madison’s, he plays his part well. We see him dodge the snake’s bite (a la skate blade) before winning over the slithering serpent. 

The precision with which the two skaters execute every single motion and maneuver is astounding! And, each one serves a purpose in the story being shared. Check out what happens just short of 4 minutes into the video. The music speeds up, the mood changes, and the couple picks up the pace through the end of the routine. It is mesmerizing! 

Madison and Evan have been skating together since 2011, and they’ve won a slew of medals in their years together. In this video, they are competing for the 2020 U.S. Championships at the Greensboro Coliseum. In the end, they capture the title for the second time, having won the same contest for the first time in 2015.

The couple became more than mere partners on the ice in 2017 when they became a couple in the romantic sense. Madison and Evan work and live together, and, during COVID, they spent a lot of time together. When folks started noticing how well they got along even with all that togetherness, they started asking the couple for couples’ counseling. “It’s pretty funny that people are turning to ice dancers for relationship advice. We’ve heard that ice dance is really like a marriage. I guess that must be true since we’ve got married couples asking for advice,” said Evan. 

As the performance ends, and the two take their bows and collect the stuffed snake that’s been tossed onto the ice, we hear commentators share that all of the top contenders in the competition are trained by the same training team and at the same Canadian facility. They add that the skaters all get along well and co-exist in a friendly, fun training environment. So, maybe, Madison and Evan relate well to everyone! 

Whatever the case and however it all works, we are just glad it does!  

“Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules.” 2 Timothy 2:5
