Surprise

A woman’s hilarious mishap right before a proposal creates an unforgettable moment. She took one wrong step right before she took an even more significant step. Watch the short but hysterical clip in which one young lady experiences an unfortunate accident seconds before one of the biggest moments of her life.

Proposals can and often do require a lot of planning and preparation. Proposing marriage to someone is a huge, massive moment for every couple. How the big question is popped is a story that couples want to be able to tell their children and grandchildren for years to come.

Knowing how much is riding on this special moment, it’s essential to consider and think about every possible scenario and outcome. However, as much as the young man may plan and prepare for the big moment, it’s impossible to plan for everything. Life is unpredictable, and that is what happened to one couple who was about to get engaged.

In the short video posted on social media, a young man leads his girlfriend down a steep hill. They are literally seconds away from being engaged. However, as they make their way down the hill, disaster strikes. The young woman takes a tumble and falls to the ground.

Instead of letting her slip ruin the moment, the woman and the young man are good-natured about it and enjoy a good laugh. At one point during the clip, a dog enters the frame and walks over to the woman, checking to see if she is OK.

Eventually, as the couple continues to laugh about the situation, they make their way to the patio, which the young man has decorated for the big moment. She is dumbfounded by what she sees, with her mouth hanging open.

Her unfortunate slip and fall will only help to make their beautiful engagement story even more special.

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.”

A dad’s beautiful words and surprise graduation gift brought his son to tears. The beautiful, heartwarming father-son moment is enough to bring most people, even the most stoic, to tears. Watch the video to see how it all unfolds and to hear the lovely words the father shares with his son. But be sure you have tissues nearby.

Graduations from high school or college are moments and cause for celebration. They are massive educational accomplishments and significant milestones in life that ought to and deserve to be recognized. Those ceremonies are the culmination of a lot of study, hard work, persistence and determination.

Additionally, graduations are typically emotional events. Friends and family will often share how they feel about the graduate. In a clip posted on YouTube, a father used the occasion to tell his son how big of a blessing he is to him and how much he loves and cares for him.

“Don’t ever think I ain’t got you, man,” the proud father tells his son. “You’ve been blessing me all your life. Don’t ever think I ain’t got you. You’ve been a blessing to me and Mama all your life. And I’m going to go all out for you.”

At this point, the young man, touched by his father’s lovely words, has tears streaming down his face.

But that wasn’t all. 

As the family walks together in a parking lot, likely leaving the graduation ceremony, the father has a big surprise for his son. A set of keys is unexpectedly placed in the young man’s hands. He has just been given a brand-new car!

The young man is left speechless, overwhelmed by all the love and appreciation his father is showing him.

The father’s sweet words for his son continue.

“You’re a blessing to me, man,” Dad says to the young man. “You’re a blessing to me, man.”

The clip ends with the young man and his father sharing a warm and loving embrace.

How could you ever watch this moment and not have tears welling up in your eyes?

Ephesians 6:4 “And you, fathers, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.”

It’s the kind of moment that makes time stand still and the heart overflow with love–a young woman jumps for joy at the visit from her grandparents. She steps out of her dad’s car, expecting the same rhythm as any ordinary day. But as she glances towards the porch, she freezes. Her breath catches before she leaps into the air, tossing her backpack aside because something extraordinary is on her front porch. It’s her grandparents. There, standing like a gift of love, are her favorite people. 

This girl’s reaction is instant, shrieks of pure joy and pure love that echo only what family can give. Her feet barely touch the ground as she races to them, her arms flung wide to catch them both in a hug. She can’t help but embrace the two people who have woven so much wisdom, fun, love, and grace into her life. Tears stream freely, not just from her eyes but from her grandparents too, as they hold on to one another as the world shrinks to this one sacred moment. 

Grandparents have a way of anchoring us, don’t they? They are the magic makers of our childhood. They're the ones whose steady hands help teach us to ride a bike, the voices that read stories long past bedtime, and they’re the ones helping us celebrate the big things like graduation, birthdays, weddings, and so much more. They are also the ones who show up for little things that leave imprints on our souls: the quiet conversations over cookies and milk, the knowing smiles across the room, and the unspoken reassurance that they are always there. 

Their thread of love feels both timeless and tender. Their love is a bond that teaches us to slow down, to savor the moment, and to cherish family traditions. And in this fleeting moment on the porch for this young woman, we see the beauty of it all–a young woman melting into the arms of her grandparents with their love spilling over and lifting each other’s hearts in gratitude. 

What a beautiful reminder that love, in all its generations, has the power to turn ordinary into something unforgettable. 

Proverbs 17:6 "Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children."

Rych Dorcie struggled with short-term memory loss, making it difficult for him to retain information, such as remembering the content of a book he had just read. One day, while playing a game in a parking lot, he heard a voice urging him to help someone with a flat tire. Initially reluctant, he eventually listened to the voice and stopped to assist. Little did he know that this seemingly small act of kindness would have a profound and unexpected impact on his life, leading to significant positive changes.
