This dad always looks forward to coming home after a long day of work. And when you see the welcome he arrives to, you'll understand exactly why. Each day, his 11-month-old quadruplets greet him with so much love and excitement.
Just watch as the quadruplets are playing on the floor with their toys when they hear a very familiar sound. They did not see his face yet, but they just knew that it was their daddy who was coming in the house. The four loving babies giggle and then race each other to the gate to be the first one to see Dad. And as soon as he rounds the corner, the excitement is written all over their face.
They held on to the gate to stand up and try to reach for daddy and it's obvious that they love him so much. It is absolutely precious! Can you think of a better way to come home than to be greeted by four precious babies? Just imagine how fast they will run to him when they are old enough to walk!
Desionne Franklin was caught in a terrifying situation during the recent mudslides in California. He was trapped in his vehicle when he felt a rumble followed by a loud rush of water.
That's when his car was carried away by the water and he was dragged down a flooded road. The scary sight was all caught on camera and the clip immediately went viral. Now, Desionne is speaking out about his terrifying ordeal and how he is dealing with the aftermath. These mudslides are ripping through California and destroying everything in it's path. There has been so much loss through it all that I am so thankful Desionne was able to survive.
I know he had to be so scared as he had no control over the vehicle as it rushed down the hill. But Desionne knew that God was with Him and would keep him safe. I can't even imagine being in that situation. I'm continuing to pray for anyone that has been affected by these horrible natural disasters.
Sometimes in marriage, a disagreement will occur. This is one of those factors that you must work through together as a couple and how you handle the situation will greatly determine how the future goes.
While everyone posts their happiest moments on social media, there are hardly any mentions of fights or struggles between couples. Because of this, some may feel that a disagreement is wrong or means they have a bad marriage. So, as Christians, what should we do when we disagree with our spouse?
This is the topic that Pastor Todd Wagner from Watermark Community Church is discussing today. He takes a look at The Bible and what scripture says about marriage and disagreements. He even shares some stories from his own marriage and how he and his wife are able to move forward after disagreements.
I love how he is able to take tough topics and break them down into words that we can all understand. This in-depth look into scripture will truly open your eyes to this topic. What do you think of Pastor Todd's discussion?
Rick and Jackie have huge hearts for spreading the word of God. As they grew in their faith, so did their love for helping people. Together, these two want to encourage others to cast their burdens on the Lord, and they are using handmade crosses to do that. It all started two years ago when they felt led by God to create what they call “Surrender Crosses.”
The surrender cross is a handmade cross that you can physically nail your burdens to that are written on a piece of paper. The purpose of the cross is for people to surrender their burdens and give Christ control over their circumstances. And this couple knows all about handing control over to Chris. Right when they felt called to start this mission, Rick was laid off from his job.
They have been praying for a while for God to close the doors that need to be shut, so when Rick lost his job they knew that RAD JOY was exactly what God was calling them to do.
Now, Rick has the time to fully dedicate himself to RAD JOY and that has filled this entire family with so much happiness. Even their children are involved in the business. The children write a virtue on a piece of paper and whenever their dad is finished with a cross, the family prays together over the virtue before sending it off.
Their prayer is that these wooden crosses will help people let go of all of their problems and feel the moment it is taken away. What an incredible mission!
Parking lots can be a major target for crimes such as theft and assault. Many people are distracted when they walk to their vehicle and may not be paying attention. This is even more true if you have young children that are demanding your time and attention.
Despite these struggles, it's important to always keep safety at the forefront of your mind. Thankfully, the team at Pretty Loaded realized these struggles and decided to put together some safety tips that we should all remember. When you are walking to your vehicle, always be looking at the environment around you or for anything suspicious nearby.
Another great tip is to load your groceries first and then your child. If someone were to grab your keys and drive off with your car, your child would not be inside. Being aware of your surroundings is so important and following these safety tips could truly save a life. Do you have any tips you'd like to add?
Loretta Lynn changed the face of country music when she came on the scene. She truly paved the way for women in country music and her impact still lives on today.

There is nothing like the joy on a child’s face when they are surprised with the thing they wanted most in the world. But often times, kids take basic necessities for granted and it becomes more and more difficult to make them happy.
Then there are kids like 8-year-old Daeyrs. Daeyrs and his mom Dionna fell on hard times a while back. Dionna is a single mom and after losing her job it became impossible for the two to keep their home. For several years this mother and son moved from homeless shelter to homeless shelter trying to get back on their feet. Despite the hard times, Daeyrs kept up hope that one day he would have his dream of a room of his very own.
Finally, Dionna was placed in housing and they did not have to worry about where to sleep anymore. Though the two were thrilled to be in a home, they didn’t have the means to furnish it and they were sleeping on a blow up mattress. But when a local charity heard about this family, they wanted to help. So one day this charity swept in and furnished the entire home, including a very special room for Daeyrs.
As soon as this sweet boy saw his dream come true, the tears started flowing. Seeing the joy on his face is truly moving. We could all learn something about gratitude from Daeyrs. Our prayers are with this pair as they start their new journey!
Chris Rupp rose to fame as an a cappella singing sensation and founder of the band HomeFree. Now, this talented artist is joining forces with 2 incredible voices to make up the stunning ensemble of 7th Ave. Together, they perform amazing covers and produce talented harmonies time and time again.
Just listen as Chris and his sister, Tristin, come together to sing the classic Etta James classic 'At Last.' This is one of those timeless songs that has been covered by artists from every single genre. But when you hear how this group puts their own spin on it, you will be over the moon.

When one woman found out that the popular 'Antiques Roadshow' was coming to her town, she knew she needed to bring her precious statue. Years ago, this lady's grandparents traveled all around China. They brought back a lot of goods and one of those items was a lion statue. The statue was passed down to her mother, and then the woman later inherited it.
Little did she know that this wasn't just any normal statue, this was a rare, authentic Tang Dynasty Marble Lion. When the appraiser saw the lion, he could not believe his eyes! Once he confirmed that it was real, he shared history and all he knew about it with the lady. The appraiser was so stunned, that he began to tear up at how magnificent the handy work was. The appraiser always sees marble lions, but he has never seen anyone bring in a piece like the one from this lady.
You cannot find this work of art anywhere else. It was only made during a specific time in history and have none have been created in the same way since. The family had no idea of this item's true value but now it holds even more significance for their family. What an incredible moment all caught on camera!
Chris Rupp rose to fame as an a cappella singing sensation in the group Home Free. Now, this talented singer is performing on his own and there's no doubt that he is an incredible musician and vocalist. His cover songs are always a delight and his amazing voice never ceases to amaze me.
Just listen as he covers the Billy Joel classic 'She's Got A Way.' This unique arrangement gives a new feel to this special song. I always love when Chris covers a song and this incredible rendition one is no different. Somehow, he always manages to bring new life to the classics and his amazing vocals are the perfect fit for this one. And this addition of the piano sends this performance over the edge.
I could listen to this guy all day long, especially if he keeps singing songs like this. What do you think of this performance?
Martin Luther King inspired the nation with his 'I Have A Dream' speech at the March on Washington on August 28, 1963 in Washington, D.C. This powerful speech has truly stood the test of time and it still rings true today.

Each year, as we listen to these words, you can feel the passion behind his speech. There is a reason that this speech is taught in our history books and remember each and every year.
This MLK day, let's remember how these words helped to bring people together and unite them for peace and freedom. How has this speech inspired you? Do you remember the first time you heard it?

Camila Cabello's pop song 'Havana' has been played all over secular radio stations. But what if this hit song was actually about glorifying God?
That's exactly what talented artist Beckah Shae had in mind when she decided to give this song a Christian makeover. Just listen to the new lyrics of this song and how Beckah is using it to praise His name. I really wish I could hear this rendition on the radio all the time. There is truly no one else like our Lord and this is such a unique way to give praise.
I just loved how Beckah turned it all around to give a message to our Saviour. Such powerful lyrics from a very talented artist. I hope we continue to hear more of these covers from her!
Brent and Audrey Shook are high school sweethearts. And early on in their marriage, the Lord put in their heart the idea of adoption. After the couple married, they had five kids of their own and life started to get busy. But in the back of their hearts they continued to feel the Lord calling them to adopt.
They looked at agencies and wanted to start the process but the timing was never right. That's when Brent got an email from an agency they had looked at 10 years before asking if the family would be willing to host a child from China for a summer while they tried to find that child a forever home. When Audrey saw Lucy’s photo, she immediately knew this was their daughter. After lots of prayer, the Shooks decided to submit to God’s will and adopt this sweet little girl even though they knew nothing about her.
Lucy was the perfect fit for their family and they knew this was God’s plan. But God still had another part of His plan. Lucy kept talking about her best friend back at the orphanage and the Shooks knew that this adoption story wasn't over.
They knew that little Henry was supposed to be their son and Lucy was to bring him to them. So they got the paperwork together and got ready to fly to China to pick up not one, but two new members of their family. Lucy and Henry were unwanted because of her Down Syndrome and his blindness. But God had a plan for them and now these two adorable children are beloved parts of the Shook family.
It is truly incredible to see how the Lord can make hearts whole when His followers step out of their comfort zones and listen to His will! God bless this beautiful family.
When Dallen and Molli found out that they were expecting their first child, they knew they wanted to announce the gender is a special way. There have been a lot of fun gener reveals all over the internet, but this one is completely different than any I have seen before.
Dallen and Molli are huge Jimmy Fallon fans and one of the games he plays on the show is an egg roulette game. The couple stood in front of 12 eggs. Half of the eggs were dyed blue and the other half were dyed pink. All of the eggs were hardboiled except for one. Whichever egg was still raw, would reveal the gender of the new baby. One by one, Dallen and Molli took turns smashing these eggs on their foreheads.
Finally, it came down to one blue egg and one pink egg. The couple each picked one up and smashed it at the exact same time to reveal the best surprise. This was such a cute and fun was to announce their gender and I could tell the whole family was into it. Congratulations to Dallen and Molli!
The talented men of 2CELLOS never cease to amaze me with their music and cello skills. Every single time that they perform, I am in complete awe. It truly takes patience and talent to execute each note so perfectly.
Today, these 2 men are performing one of the most iconic songs in recent years 'My Heart Will Go On.' Celine Dion made this song famous when she recorded it for the major motion picture 'Titanic.' Since then, countless artists have covered the tune and put their unique spin on it. 2CELLOS decided to give this special song the cello treatment and it's absolutely amazing.
This is the perfect way to compliment this classic song. And I could listen to the sound that they produce over and over again. I'm so glad these men have banded together to perform such amazing and joyful music. With talent like this, I can't wait to see what they do next.
