Rayan and Arlene Cosme teenage sweethearts and parents to 3 beautiful girls. But right after she gave birth to her last daughter, Grayan, Arlene started to complain of a stiff neck and migraines.
Just 4 days after Grayan's birth, Arlene slipped into a coma due to a brain aneurysm. Rayan was devastated and tried to do everything he could think of to wake Arlene up. Over the course of 11 days, Rayan tried renewing their wedding vows, christening their newborn daughter and performing a beautiful serenade. Everything was done right at Arlene's bedside as she lay in the hospital room.
This desperate father of 3 tried desperately to wake his wife, but sadly, Arlene passed after 11 days in a coma. This beautiful video showcases Rayan singing an emotional tune right to Arlene. It will truly tug at all your heartstrings.
It may be a hard moment to watch but I know down the road, this will be a cherished memory for the family. I pray for the Rayan and his 3 children during this difficult time.
Florida deputies recently took down a suspect in a very unusual way. When reports of an armed suspect threatening employees and customers inside a Rainbow Store came through, the police department jumped into action.
When they arrived on scene, they found the suspect inside threatening to harm people with a hammer. One of the quick-thinking deputies grabbed a can of baked beans and used that to stop the suspect.
The officer grabbed a few cans of Bush's Extra Brown Sugar Baked Beans and tossed them right at the armed man. Even though it sounds a little odd, it was enough to stop the man and take him into custody.
When you're in a different environment, sometimes you have to use the resources around you and that's exactly what happened in this situation. After he was stopped, the armed man was arrested and charged with an assault on an officer.

Her mother says, "She even takes the chemotherapy in her stride. It makes her sick but she tells me it's not too bad for her and that other children on the ward are much sicker. She is really caring like that."
As Anya gets ready to undergo mutliple rounds of chemotherapy, her mother told her that at the end she would have a 'ring-the-bell' party to signify that she was better. Anya was so excited at that idea that she said she wanted to sing 'Fight Song' at the party.

Actress Sandra Bullock is known for being a popular Hollywood star, but she knows that acting is not her true purpose. During a recent interview with Hoda Kotb on The Today Show, Sandra shares that her priorities will always be her kids and family.
Both Sandra and Hoda share a common bond as they both adopted their children. In fact, Sandra’s journey to motherhood actually inspired Hoda towards her own dreams of being a mom. But there was a time when Sandra worried that she might have missed her window of opportunity.
That’s when Hurricane Katrina completely changed everything. "Katrina happened in New Orleans, and I knew. Like, just something told me that my child was there. It was weird. It was very, very weird."
It took almost 4 years for her adoption to be complete, but when Sandra held her baby boy, Louis, in her arms she knew that everything was exactly how it was meant to be. "It's just like being a mom, I finally realize, 'Oh, this is what I was supposed to do when I grew up."
After Louis, Sandra adopted a daughter named Laila in 2015. A few years later, in February of 2017, Hoda adopted her own baby girl named Haley Joy. She even called up her friend Sandra during the process to get advice and encouragement.
As these two amazing women share their adoption stories, they can’t help but let the tears flow. And after hearing this sweet journey, I was reaching for a tissue too.
It's so important to remember that when we give our life over to the Lord, there is a truly a better one waiting for us in Heaven. God made the ultimate sacrifice for us when He sent His only Son to die for our sins. Because of this, we are now forgiven and will live out our days in Heaven.
Be reminded of His powerful love as you listen to the lyrics of 'Reckless Love' from Cory Asbury. Today, the talented vocals of Rise And Run featuring Gabby Guerin are performing a beautiful cover of this worship tune. What a great reminder that with God by our side, nothing can stand in our way.
He is truly our light in the dark and the compass that will always guide us home. I love to sing along to these lyrics and give praise to His name. Who else is with me?

31-year-old Taskin Ibna Ali was devastated when he started to lose the ability to play guitar. Ali is a musician and, about a year ago, he noticed that he was getting pain in some of his fingers. It eventually spread to his entire left hand and Ali was forced to stop playing guitar.
That's when he sought the help of a brain surgery for a condition called 'guitarist dystonia.' This is a very rare condition and only affects around one percent of musicians. When it was time for Ali to begin surgery, the doctor wanted to make sure that the procedure was working. The doctor had Ali play guitar in the middle of surgery to check the mobility of his fingers.
Just listen as Ali serenades the entire operating room in the most unique performance of his life. Thankfully, after surgery, Ali was able to regain the mobility in all of his fingers and he's hoping to continue his music career. What an incredible moment!
