When the owner of a Wisconsin café fell ill and was hospitalized for months, a group of teens stepped up and ran the restaurant in her and her husband’s absence. The youngsters did anything and everything necessary to keep the business going. Watch the short but powerful clip to learn about this fantastic group of young men and women.

Opening a business is always risky and can be very costly. Sadly, as we all know, small businesses have a high failure rate. Of course, many factors play into a business's success or failure—demand or lack thereof for the business's goods or services, competition in the marketplace, the state of the national and local economy, the owner's business acumen and many others.

However, things can and do become increasingly more complicated for a business when the owner is unable to oversee the day-to-day operations. The number of unknowns and problems can multiply, making things exponentially more difficult for the business's survival. However, in a clip posted on YouTube, that was not the case thanks to a group of loving, devoted and caring young people who stepped up in a big way when a business owner fell ill.

Approximately 30 teenagers work at Urban Olive & Vine, a restaurant in Hudson, Wisconsin. The small business is owned by a husband and wife, Chad and Carol Trainor. When Carol suffered a seizure in the restaurant and was hospitalized for months, pulling both away from the restaurant, the teens took over the day-to-day operations of the business.

The video mentions that Chad said he did not have to ask any of the teenagers to do anything extra once. They just did it.

One of the teenagers began voluntarily arriving at 5:30 to start the day, and everyone else added to their responsibilities, taking on new and different jobs. They were doing what they had to keep the business thriving while Chad remained by Carol's side.

Sadly, Carol would eventually pass away.

With tears in her eyes, one young woman called the small business "a family."

"Without them, the restaurant would not exist," Chad said. "These kids became adults and ran our business and took care of me."

What an amazing group of young people.

Philippians 2:4 "Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others."

In seasons of confusion, crossroads, or uncertainty, we all reach a moment when we cry out: “Lord, I need Your direction.” Whether you’re facing a major life decision or feeling lost in everyday choices, this prayer is for you. We serve a God who doesn’t leave us wandering. He delights in guiding His children. When we come to Him with surrendered hearts, Scripture promises He will make our paths straight (Proverbs 3:5–6). This video offers a simple yet powerful prayer for anyone seeking God’s will, wisdom, and peace in the middle of life’s questions. He is not silent. He is your Shepherd. And His direction is always rooted in love, not confusion. 🙏 Prayer for God’s Direction: Lord God, Right now, I’m standing at a fork in the road, and I don’t know what to do. Should I move forward? Wait? Turn back? I confess my fear of making the wrong choice. But You are not a God of confusion—You are the God of peace and purpose. So I surrender this moment, this decision, this path to You. Lead me by Your Spirit. Speak through Your Word. Shut the doors that need to close and light up the path I should walk. Help me to trust even when I can’t see. Your direction is better than my plans. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Summer can be a beautiful season of togetherness—and also a testing ground for patience. With long days, disrupted routines, and high energy in little hearts, it’s easy for frustration to take over. This heartfelt prayer invites parents to pause, breathe, and seek the Holy Spirit’s help in showing patience, love, and grace toward their children this summer. Whether you're managing meltdowns, mediating sibling squabbles, or just trying to enjoy the moment, this message reminds you that God’s strength is made perfect in your weakness. You’re not expected to be a perfect parent—just a present one. Let this prayer renew your spirit and ground your parenting in compassion, calm, and Christ-centered peace. 🙏 Prayer for Parents to Be Patient with Their Children: Heavenly Father, Summer brings sunshine, laughter, and... sometimes, stress. Lord, help every parent listening to breathe deeply and pause often. When tempers flare and routines unravel, remind them that You are their anchor and their example. Teach them to model patience as You are patient with us. Help them respond, not react. To speak gently, even when voices rise. To love their children through the chaos and the calm. Bless their home with peace and playful joy. Fill them with Your Spirit so they can reflect Your love in the heat of every moment. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

A 12-year-old brings comfort to shelter animals with his soothing, beautiful musical performances. The young man uses his musical talent to help calm and care for animals waiting for their forever homes. Watch the short but sweet clip to learn how the youngster comforts shelter animals.

Every animal wants to be with someone and somewhere where they are cared for and loved. That's the kind of treatment and environment we all want and deserve. Sadly, because of our world's lost, broken and fallen state, that is not a reality for far too many people and animals.

Instead, many animals are locked up in shelters, and that's a place where no animal wants to be. While those animals are cared for, they are often full, and none of the animals get the love and attention they deserve. They are simply there waiting and hoping someone will come along soon and adopt them.

That's why 12-year-old Yuvi Agarwal decided to take his musical talents to an animal shelter in Houston, Texas. He performs, hoping that his performance will comfort the animals as they anxiously await someone to come along and take them home.

"Many of them have come from very rough backgrounds with humans," he said. So, they associate humans with bad things, but once they see humans playing nice music for them, they will associate humans with good things."

Since playing in that Houston shelter, the 12-year-old has started a nonprofit, Wild Tunes, that performs music for shelter pets in a handful of states – Texas, Colorado, New Jersey, Virginia and California.

Not only does the music calm and soothe the animals, but one shelter employee stated it also increases their chance of adoption.

"So, this music allows them to calm down and make them ultimately more presentable to adopters," he said.

People often say that one person cannot make a difference, but 12-year-old Yuvi has proven that one person can make a huge difference.

Genesis 1:21 "And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after their kind: and God saw that it was good."

One police officer’s jaw-dropping jump-rope skills are getting a lot of attention. She demonstrated her skills while on duty after approaching a group of youngsters playing outside. Watch the short but powerful clip to see the officer’s jump-rope talent and hear why she joined the fun.

Many people spend much of their day with their faces buried in a screen. Sadly, at this point, our phones have essentially become an extension of our hands. We’re either texting, perusing the internet or scrolling on one of the many popular social media platforms. If we are ever separated from our phones at any time throughout the day, many become anxious and wonder when we’ll be reunited with our cellular device.

Technology is good and helpful; many great things have come from those recent advancements. However, seeing children outside playing with one another without their phones nearby has become odd and unusual. For that reason, a New York police officer decided to join a group of children when she saw them outside jumping rope. Not only did she jump rope with them, but she wowed many people with her incredible, jaw-dropping talent.

“We’re passing down a street, we saw them outside jumping,” Officer Sharrika Brent said. “I told them, ‘Pull over’ because I wanted to jump.”

The video of the officer’s fancy footwork has since gone viral, getting millions of views on social media.

Officer Brent added that her jumping rope with those neighborhood children is not out of the ordinary for her, saying that it’s something that she does all the time.

“You don’t see the kids outside playing anymore,” she said. You just see them on their phones, heads down, tablets, whatever. They don’t really play, like, outside, like, how I used to when I was a kid. So, it was kind of refreshing for them to see, and it was refreshing for me, that’s why I got out of the car and jumped.”

Her efforts and those of other officers reaching out to community members are making a difference. The clip mentioned that crime in that neighborhood is down over 20 percent.

Colossians 3:12 “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;”

A daughter had a beautiful response to her mom’s engagement. The little girl could not contain her emotions when she learned that her mother was engaged to be married. Watch the short but sweet clip of the child’s adorable reaction after she spotted the ring on her mom’s finger and learned about her mother’s engagement.

Getting engaged is a massive step for every couple. Of course, picking out that diamond ring and then popping that big, all-important question comes before standing up at that altar and saying, “I do,” in front of your family, friends and God. While the wedding is clearly the most critical part of that whole process, none of it would be possible without getting engaged first.

Everyone says that when someone gets engaged and eventually married, they become part of another family. But nowhere is that demonstrated more clearly than when one of the people already has kids, especially if they are young children who still live at home. That person has to win over the approval of those kids as well because they will become a massive part of their lives.

A clip posted on social media shows a young woman who seemed to understand this, and she was thrilled for her mother. The child immediately burst into tears after hearing what had happened. It’s one of the sweetest reactions you’ll likely ever see.

But the mother wasn’t the only one who received a new piece of jewelry. Mom’s fiancée had a ring for the little girl. It was a sweet move that showed he understood that he was getting a wife and a daughter.

The clip ends with Mom’s fiancée and the little girl snuggling on the couch together. What a beautiful sight!

May the Lord greatly bless that precious little family!

Genesis 2:24 “For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.”

Tonja shares the original poem God gave her years ago (which has the theme of reaching the nations, and that accompanies a craft project in her adventure series for girls, The Adventures of Princess Pearl, and more). The Christmas tree was drawn by her daughter in homeschool. Enjoy Christmas every day!

The LORD Jesus Christ is the only true Source of happiness, and of Joy! (Happiness is temporary, but Joy is eternal; a fruit of the Spirit! Galatians 5:22)

Tonja talks about the power of God's glory in a tiny seed--and urges us to keep on sowing good seeds, and reaping, for God is faithful to help us reap the harvest!

Tonja got inspired to draw a heart on a cross onto a handheld American flag, to remind her to pray for the USA.

Teachers have more freedom and rights than they may know--including praying for students. When it comes down to it, as Tonja, a veteran teacher of over 35 years, knows, one heartfelt prayer can change a student's life forever!

It pays to draw close to God, be sensitive to His dear Spirit, and let Him lead you, so you are in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing, with the right people, for the right reason, with the right result!

Tonja reads "As the Eagle Goes," a poem the LORD gave her in 1993, when she was inspired as she helped write and edit a book by an evangelist who compared Christians to eagles.

Anything good in our lives--including every breath!--comes from our good, good Father (I Chronicles 29:10-18). I pray our eyes will all be open to be even more thankful for the many gifts He gives us every day!

The LORD trust us with amazing responsibility--and authority! Tonja learned more about that when she was a supervisor at a large pharmaceutical distribution company.

When life takes a turn you never expected—when the dream crumbles or the door slams shut—what do you do? In this honest and encouraging video, we explore how to find peace when your plans fall apart, and how to trust that God’s ways are higher, even when they don’t make sense. Drawing from Scripture like Proverbs 3:5-6 and Romans 8:28, this message invites you to lay down anxiety and disappointment, and step into the unshakable peace that only Christ can give. 🙏 Prayer for Peace When Plans Change: Father God, When our plans fall apart, remind us that Yours never do. You are sovereign in every closed door, faithful in every unexpected turn. Calm our anxious thoughts and steady our hearts. Help us trust that what feels like a detour is really Your direction. Replace our striving with surrender. Our confusion with confidence in Your will. You see the full picture—we see only a piece. Give us peace, not because we understand, but because we know You are with us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

What if every interaction—every face you pass today—was an opportunity to reflect Christ’s love? In a world that labels, divides, and judges quickly, this video offers a biblical reminder of the sacred value God places on every soul. Inspired by Genesis 1:27, where we learn we are all made in God's image, this prayer and reflection encourage a powerful shift in how we view others. Whether you’re struggling with conflict, bitterness, or just feeling jaded toward others, the truth of God's design and love for humanity can soften your heart and renew your perspective. 🙏 Prayer to See Others Through God's Eyes: Lord, You formed every person with purpose and care. Help us not to see the world through fear or pride, But through grace and truth. Open our eyes to the beauty in every soul— To the image of You reflected in faces different from our own. When it's hard to love, remind us how deeply we are loved. And when we’re tempted to judge, help us remember how You forgave us. Teach us to live with compassion and humility, So the world may know the truth of who You are through how we love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Giving isn’t just a financial act—it’s an act of worship. Whether you’re offering time, resources, encouragement, or tithes, the Bible teaches us to give not out of obligation, but from a heart overflowing with joy and gratitude. This video prayer is a gentle reminder of why joyful giving matters in the life of a believer. Inspired by 2 Corinthians 9:7, this devotion will encourage you to see generosity not as a burden, but as a blessing—a way to reflect God’s own generosity to the world. If you’re struggling with giving, or simply want to align your heart with God's purpose in generosity, this prayer is for you. Heavenly Father, You are the giver of every good and perfect gift. Thank You for the blessings You’ve entrusted to us—big and small. Teach us to give not from guilt or fear, but from faith and freedom. May our offerings—whether money, time, or talents—be marked by love, not reluctance. Let cheerful giving become a reflection of Your grace in us. Use what we give to bless others, build Your kingdom, and bring You glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen. “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give… for God loves a cheerful giver.” – 2 Corinthians 9:7 💬 Comment below: What helps you give with joy? 🎁 Visit BibleStudyTools.com for more free devotionals and study resources.
