This moved me, this morn, like nothing else.

Haven’t been this affected in quite a spell.

Maybe it’s due to seeing so much selfishness in this present society.
So many many folks so worried about being treated fairly.
This forum, unfortunately, has not been the exception, save some precious threads.
Thank God some have risen above self.

Anyway, this attachment did it for me, and if it doesn’t move you to tears, well, that place where a heart should be is just a chunk of petrified wood.

Sorry I don’t know how to properly attach this, but you won’t be sorry you had to struggle a bit to open it.

this guy has a half dozen foster kids

this old song he sings is dedicated to them

Absolutely beautiful Gary and worth the watch.
It definitely choked me up.
Thank you!
Some people truly do slide the scale of humanity to the positive in a huge way and are an inspiration to us all.
Thank you for sharing.:glitter-heart:
 
Oh my, I can't see to type this. The end got me the most. Pass the tissues please.
 

I didn't know what to expect. As one who made my living in the biz for thirty years, I have to say the guy really has some great dynamics. He gave a, decidedly, understated performance, and was spot on in his delivery, albeit with a great deal of nervous energy. We'll see what happens, in his next time onstage.
 
As a child I spent the vast majority of my childhood in various foster homes, I was crying while he was introducing himself before he even started singing.... I wish I'd had a foster dad like that..


Great Choice Gary...

..and here it is for you...

What a wonderful WOW performance by a truly admirable man. Gary, thank you for this uplifting moment. Too often our media focuses their spotlights on only the worst of the worst.
 
Gary,that was wonderful. I just turned the computer on to see what was going on before I go to bed and I clicked on your attachment. Now I have something really positive to think about instead of looking at the news of the day which most of the time I find very depressing.

Thanks folks

My granddaughter is so precious to me

and that clip....whoa

Glad to know it affected Pappy the way it did me
It's good to knock the crust off sometimes
 
Such a sweet little girl. I have two Grandsons, I love them to death yet sometimes I just happen to walk past the little girl department and see all the cute dresses and think how much fun it would be to pick one out for a granddaughter.
 
I've been reading The Book

Reading at face value is good

Studying...well....is profound
At least it is to this degenerate

Philippians 4:6-7 New International Version (NIV)
6; Do not be anxious about anything,
but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7; And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.


6; Do not be anxious about anything,
Well, duh
Easy to say
Been telling my lady that for decades

But, seems one cannot just stop with the anxiety, stress, worry

unless

in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
7; And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus

This.....and only this.....has benefited my lady, and has been so effective
Not meds, not sleep, nothing..... but her devotion to this instruction

This...is huge to this ol' man

I just finished reading tomes of med/physical affects on brain and body when stress is constant

There really is something to The Book......if one looks

No comments needed
Not trying to convert anyone

Just happy for my lady

....and me
