- MUST-WATCH! One of the most beautiful and memorable moments you will ever see on video, as Naomi, a Jewish lady, finds the way to reach into the soul of Gladys, 87, long isolated in her own world of Alzeimer's, by singing her beloved Christian hymns to her.
Life-affirming is a phrase often used, but this example of one person finding the way to bring alive a once-vibrant woman, now lost in her own world of Alzheimer's - a white Jewish Lady and a black Christian Lady - will stay with you, for a long time.
Naomi Feil is founder of Validation Therapy, and called "THE world's authority on communicating with people with dementia," according to Michael Verde, who produced this film, and is founder of Memory Bridge, The Foundation for Alzheimer's and Cultural Memory.
You see Naomi's inner light and spirit as she communicates with Gladys, crossing cognitive and emotional boundaries - just as you can see Gladys' inner light and hidden memories of her love of Gospel hymns and Christian music.
So beautiful and celebratory of the human spirit - and love.

My husband has dementia, he doesn't remember 5 minutes ago but he has not lost his love and relationship with Jesus Christ
This is very comforting and a reminder that absolutely nothing can separate us from the Love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord
Deborah Isaacs...I’m so sorry about your husband😔I hope that our Heavenly Father grants you both his Peace Always 🙋🏽♀️💕🕊
Deborah Isaacs 😭😭😭😭 that's so sweet 😟
Same for my grandmother
This is the same for my mom
People need affection: not just looking after their physical needs.
As a CNA, I whole heartedly agree. I'm not satisfied just caring for their physical needs; I like to emotionally connect to them.
Ditto! I remember beginning work at a care home and trying to get to know the residents and give them some personal attention and being taken aside by the person training me. “We aren’t here to be their friends, we get things done” I was dumbfounded and didn’t take it to heart whatsoever. Yes, there are cares and ADL’s to complete but no one can tell me people would not rather have someone do it lovingly and treat them as a valuable soul, whatever their level of ability.
So precious. The need is great. 1-20-24
That was the most touching thing I have ever seen in my 66 years! That lady is an angel!
Hi Debbie, I'm also 66 and agree with you: Naomi Feil your love for a poor struggling, fellow human being is breathtaking.
Amen. God bless you both. Love and blessings.
True!
Absolutely ❤
Probably the most touching thing I’ve ever seen in my life other than the birth of my children ❤️❤️❤️
Heavenly father if l live to be old please send me someone like this woman to show me unconditional love.
Sugar&Spice best advice ever! ♥️💕
Amen
My jaw dropped when Gladys suddenly started singing "in his hands". Beautiful video!
It's amazing how we as humans connect with each other in so many different ways beyond physically!
and she did it "in time" with the singer. wow
Yes I'm in tears
Once you understand that song, it becomes part of your soul
🙏🙏🙏So so. Sooooo beautiful
My heart is full of joy for the elder lady. She knows that the woman singing is loving her and comforting her. Jesus was there in that room.
Utterly amazing. SO many elders in nursing homes (with or without Altzheimer's) need this kind of loving interaction and care.
Amen, yes they do.
Imagine, the lady is trapped in her mind, and probably gets little attention like this, or understands it, and she got a blessing when this woman cared. So amazing.
Amen to that everyone needs Christour lord Jesus has given this woman a wonderful gift to be able to communicate with these people she loves them bless this woman and thank you are using the gift that our God gave 🙏
Very true
Oh my God this so touching 😭😭😭
She might have Alzheimer’s but she knows Jesus. Oh I’m crying now *joyful tears* 😭
Amen
Your account is deleted?
This is the meaning of Authentic Love....See no color, no gender, no age. Our souls are connected as Children of God......Much much more of what we need of, now a days!!!!!! Amen!
Amen.
Yes, and this woman is showing us it CAN be done. It can.
Yes
Yes... God made us in his image... this lady reflects that love
Amen!!!
I can’t stop crying this is the most beautiful thing ever god bless you
💛
Good will preval over evil praise be to God thank you jesus halilueya .
Della classysassydiva617 me too, so sad but so beautiful too 💕
Me too😭😭
@@Yukia76 me too...puddles of tears. Father, bless this woman and Gladys
I haven't seen anything this beautiful in a long time. I felt that in my soul. There are some beautiful spirits still left in this harsh world.
FACTS
K.Scorpio so true
Beautiful ? I visited my father for 4 years after he got half paralysed in a home. I went there everyday and it is really depressing. Nothing beautiful about it.
Piet Pienter, She is obviously talking about the way Niomi is able to reach in and comfort some of the poor souls and give them some comfort even if it is only for a little while. 😇
Christian and Jew together in a loving, caring situation...just as it should be. Amen, Lord.
She said when I touched her there they rememeber that’s where the mother would touch as an infant I cried 😲😭😭😭
Steph Gauthier yes, me too,that dear old lady was a little tiny baby once xxx
When she started singing for that split-second she was whole again. Praise God 🙌🏻
The F yes, praise God 🙏🏼 💕
Praise him and his creation. He speaks trough all of us
Oh My tears rolled down My eyes! I never thought that was going to happen. How Beautiful! Sweet Kind Touch and Gods Music WOW! She sure did bring her Love of Jesus back to Her!
@@Vikt68 what is the F
@@Janet8925 The OP’s name…
As my mother lay dying in the hospital of Alzheimer's I sang that same song to her and she finally opened her eyes after 4 days of not, as her last breath was being taken I held her and saying Jesus loves you yes I know for the Bible tells me so! I did not let the fact that she was passing stop me from singing and singing, I saw this video once before years ago thank you, you are a blessed woman
I now take care of a woman at home now who has Alzheimer's and I'm very loving with her and tell her that I love her and I hold her hand and speak with her. Her son hired me only recent that I learned he was an ordained minister, our Father puts us right where we are needed,
I sang “you are my sunshine” into my mother’s ear as I rocked her in my arms when she was passing away back in June. I understand your pain.
The power of the holy spirit is strong. Glory to the Lord Jesus Christ.
Autumn Ortiz power of love
Kirstine Gersvang I work around many sick people. Many are Christian and sometimes just like the lady in the video, unable to respond but as soon as Jesus comes in the room something changes. For me Jesus is love and it fills the room up
Autumn Ortiz stupid
Keokji wow rude much??
Keokji you really need Jesus..God bless you i hope you fing jesus and joyful life
God has blessed me to minister at an assisted living facility and what she says it true. I’ve sang many hymns about Jesus and see the light come on for many of my family in Christ! Glory hallelujah! God never forgets His children and even in their difficult times they never forget Him!!! Thank You Jesus! We met Ms. Foster at the nursing home & she became like a grandma to our Family. She's been gone for several years, but my family will never forget Ms. Foster. We loved her & she loved us. We would talk, pray, & sing together. Her hugs were the best😃.
Her smile was beautiful & she loved the Lord. She was the pianist at her ⛪️ before retiring & moving to the assisted living facility. She had a stroke & was paralyzed on her left side but still had a burning passion for Jesus! Hallelujah!!
Once the nurses were late bringing her to worship service. She wanted to be in the Lord's House, so with her good leg she dragged herself down the hall in her wheelchair. I saw her & asked why didn't you wait for help? She said they took too long& I couldn't wait! So I helped her & she made it in. Thank You Jesus 🙌. Lord help us to crave Your House of Worship!
In her earlier years, she couldn't talk for a long period of time. Oh, but she could talk good once we met her & everyone knew her story. Every time she met someone she would always say, I couldn't talk for a long time but God healed me & now I'm talking real good now aren't I? 😊. I would say yes you are! I can still hear voice & miss her smile 😀. I hurt as I miss her😭. What a blessing she was to our family! Now she's in Heaven talking real good & always on time for worship. What an inspiration!!
Thank you so much for sharing
I thank God for blessing me to share. You’re welcome friend😊
Sitting here,watching, in tears. That reminds me of my mother some years ago. My mother couldn’t talk, didn’t know who I was, but she knew who Jesus is. My mother taught Sunday school for decades. She knew every hymn by heart. If someone played the piano, she would sing the hymns, knew every word. What that told and reinforced watching this touching video, is that Jesus is, period. Everything else is gone, but not him, he remains. I take great comfort in knowing that my mother is in my future, not in my past. I will be where she has already gone.
The lady that spent time with that dear soul, is wonderful, God Bless her!
💛
God bless you Susan.
My mom 63 too died this way and now so am I 46 and my son 23 as we found out it is genetic and we are terminal. She responded the same up until she passed she would sing with the old hymns as she left her body. I hope as I progress in this terminal illness that I and my son will both find the same Peace in Jesus at our last breath. Please pray for my son and my family as they are struggling with the loss of our minds as we die and go home to Heaven if we accept the free gift of Jesus and his payment for our sins. I have no fear because of Jesus paid the ultimate price for me to be changed to being able to go be where he has made a place for us. This was a video that shows the love God commands we should have for every person and I was so blessed to see my mother respond in like kind at her time. I implore those of you who don't know Jesus or think it is just some old religious thing please read the scriptures and pray and seek the truth of what is shown and being witnessed to by many on this video for yourself. If you seek the truth with love you will find what we all really want in life and the one after. May this video and the comments make people see true love and to seek the Creator of it all. Praise God for people like this wonderful woman who gives Love to everyone.
" When all remembrance seems to fade, I dare you to call on the name of JESUS"❗🙏🙏🙏
Amen❣️
"Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever." [Hebrews 13:8] He still heals today. He is LOVE, LIGHT, WISDOM, POWER and a HEALER.
Very nice on it's true God loves us
Amen!
moniquemonicat and we are his Temple...his hands & feet! He is LOVE & when we love, he heals! 😊🙏🏼
This video moved me to tears - what a blessing to have witnessed it!
Me too.....I am crying like a baby.
I have worked with Alzheimer's patients for several years and have always been slow in my movements and did everything I could to show love and give comfort to them. Hand holding, hugs, listening (even when they are making no real sense) etc... Always knew that even if they couldn't speak anymore, they were still in there somewhere. I could feel their "vibe." This video touched my heart and soul. When Gladys actually started to sing along I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. I plan to use some of the techniques shared and definitely will begin to sing and/or play music (from their era, of course!) for my clients more often!! Absolutely loved this video. ❤
What a pure shining example of Jesus ❣️
Praise Jesus and Glory to God ❣️😇🙏🙌
As the Bible verse says, "When two or more gather in my name, there I am also." Look how God works. Look how Jesus works. SHE SPOKE!! Oh, PRAISE THE LORD!! What a miracle!
Jesus!
Praise God for Evermore🙏💛
Amen
Amen. So very truthful & righteous. God is good....🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏽
I forgot about that verse! Thank you for reminding me!
God has laid up many crowns for this woman, and others like her. I pray that God will bless other people to do the same as this lady has done.
Oh my gosh.... she's like an angel to these people. This is amazing. I can hardly breathe.
You have asthma or something?
@@chiangkaishrek5123 really?
Jerry Lisby I guess so
@@chiangkaishrek5123 oh you were being funny.
She’s wonderful, isn’t she.
God Bless people like you who give their time and effort to those with Alzheimer's and dementia. ❤
Whoever gave this a thumbs down has to be most miserable and full of hate. Your negativity can't stop the power of love thru the Holy Spirit. Don't believe it watch it again. GOD IS LOVE.
Chris Johnson , the truth Mr Johnson . Thank you❤️
True. It's hatred and jealousy which is of Satan.
Honeysuckle,
Jesus loves you this l know because the Bible tells us so. He knows you and you can know Him to. I pray that you get to know Him, He's waiting with His arms wide open. 😊🤗🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
Those who had thumbs down has dementia.
@@sylvialin6453 That may just be so. Jesus loves them too. Can you not understand why non-believers think the God/Jesus/Bible talk is a joke? They look at this and wonder why a loving God would allow this to happen in the first place.
You need to pray for them, not call them demented.
I work in a nursing home for over 15 years and I would have my lunch in the rooms of the patient some talk some didn’t I just enjoy it and now I am older and understand from this end God bless us all!!!
This is beauty at its finest
Sara K Omg, I can't believe i just read your comment, I'm your sub for soo long time and righ now i m just in tears.You re so powerfull ,kind and peacefull.thank you😇 Be strong!
You better say that!!!! Look At God.....ONCE AGAIN SHOWING OUT!!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I love this video so much. Patience, are, affection, an unexpected yet happy and amazing moment, all in one. This woman could have been retired but she instead continued to work hard and dilligenlty with a perfect balance of the care and affectionate us humans need beginning of life to the end (the end of "this" which we will never know until time to take a number and and a seat in a waiting room ala Beetlejuice haha) Anyway, I'm sure she enjoys this work though 😊, she has a gift and I doubt she is doing it for publicity and lots of moolah. I believe every do often, a person is born (or sent to begin this phase of existence?) and they just have this extraordinary gift that just comes to them when the time is right in the person's lifetime to be able to start understanding it and eventually as we've all noticed I'm sure, said person gradually and then BAM finds what they were given thus gift for. Could be to inspire, to give back, a warning, education, a message. Anyhoo, hopefully somebody got me if they even were crazy like myself to bother reading that lol. I'm open to positive and negative feedback, I can take it
I think it's a beautiful thing what this lady is doing to comfort someone that is in a condition like this thank you so much it warms my heart to see your love for this lady thank you so much and God bless you
When the lady sang along, it brought a tear to my eye. Beautiful.
that she REMEMBERED and reacted. Just spell binding.
Father i pray for the 72 souls that thumbed down this video...that you bless them and love them just like you love us.
I loved that! That precious woman was actually singing in the end! That was so beautiful. What a wonderful therapeutic tool.
The elderly are such sweet souls. this is truly heart warming. Love one another, a great bible command. 💕
Naomi,you are an angel on earth....
she sure is
Wonderful.
😮 my mother is in the nursing home she is 85 years old i walk in and say hello beautiful shes response and said who and laughs
This was so beautiful I cried almost through the whole video. God bless this woman who cares for people like this. I'm sure she's making Jesus smile
God bless them both and everyone reading this 💝🙏
Thank you...kind words.
💕💖💋🙏💜❤️💓💕💖💜
Thank you! May God bless you too 🙏❤😘😇
God sends Angels to this earth and Naomi is one of them 💜
So much of humanity could use someone to just show tenderness and compassion. God bless these women.
What a beautiful person, spending such intimate moments with people who society has tossed away like trash.
So unbelievably beautiful. May God bless those beautiful women.
If the caretakers and ppl that work with them on a daily basis would give them that kind of love, affection, time, worship, care, attention, and not not look at them as a job, my Lord, my God. So much progress!
I agree
I'm going to go visit the nursing homes more often now. We can make a small difference with a little sacrifice of time.
I met so many great souls by going to a nursing home. i strongly suggest you do it , you won't regret it ;)
Please do!! Alzheimer and dementia patients are the least visited of all. It is very sad to see how they are essentially abandoned by their own families.

Lexilea68 This did make me weep but I also felt good about the way I chose to look after my lovely old neighbour Betty , the best way to change her anxiety when she would want to see her Mother and sister , ( both had died years beforehand ) was to sing old songs from the wartime era or Christmas Carols or old music hall tunes . When I worked for 2 yrs with profoundly handicapped adults and children I used to be amazed when some couldn't speak or maintain eye contact, or fixated on self harm and yet gentle music such as Chopin or ballads would have a calming influence. One of the young women would sit at the piano and play jazz perfectly yet she had never been able to talk , read , write or function because of severe brain damage as a baby , the brain is still a mystery and very underfunded especially as such a high percentage of people are terrified of having Alzheimers or Dementia. Why ?
micselaneous wickedwitch Bless you for remaining soft towards others for we will all age. I hope we are treated well. We reap what we sow and shall do out fellow humans kindly.
This moved me deeply to the core of my soul. The tears flowed when I saw her sing the song. This is deep love. God bless them both.
I worked with a patient like that and she spoke in tongues when you sang gospel music
That's awesome!! Praise God! 🙋💕✝❤
The Holly Spirit touch Her
💛
Oh wow! How awesome?!! 💛
To God be the glory 🙏🙏 🙏🙌
I was working in a nursing home and when i was leaving , i could only tell a few of them, my heart pain to know am leaving those precious souls behind.
NOW I PRAY DAILY JESUS KEEPS THEM CLOSE TO HIS HEART.
WE ALL HAVE TO MOVE ON, BUT DEEP UNDYING LOVE STILL LINGERS.
OH WHAT PRECIOUS JOY IT WILL BE WHEN WE MEET TO PART NO MORE IN THAT PLACE WHERE JESUS PREPARED FOR ALL THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.
This is how the Lord brings us together. One Body, one Soul, one Life!
One hive mind of indoctrination
Amen.
@@chiangkaishrek5123 aren't we all branches off the same vine?
Kristin Gallo sorry but I made this comment a year ago so I’m not sure what this video was about, but I’m guessing this was when I was a bit more edgy. This isn’t the right video to criticize religion on. Although I stand by the statement
@@chiangkaishrek5123 oh, I have sorrow for you. May you come to see Him more in your life.Truly.
Oh my Lord ..made me cry especially when Gladys began singing & talking at the end. It is clear she understood. Bless both of these beautiful ladies!
I’m bawling and in awe. Selfless love reaches where we cannot see.
Aw Sooo Beautiful!!! Praise God! This woman definitely has the calling of God on her life.
Oh my Lord this was just so,so,beautiful,I am in tears right now,because this lady help this woman come back for a few minutes,well God did it by using this lovely lady,this was just so amaizing and so beautiful,thank you so much for sharing this with us.
💛
This moved me to tears. God bless this woman.
This woman is a beautiful soul. This touched my heart
Absolutely
Look how God is using this woman . What a mighty God we server . wow
It takes a lot to move me to tears, but this did it. Pure, unadulterated beauty 😭😭😭
YES, THIS IS TRUE LOVE, THANK YOU LORD JESUS 🤠
This brought tears to my eyes. This is the love of love of God when we love one another with the love of Christ. So beautiful.
I awash with tears. This is the most bittersweet thing I've seen in many a year 😭😭😭
I love the elderly. We all need love and affection. God bless you.
I miss my grandmother. She went this way. How did I get here I cant stop crying. This is accurate played Mahalia Jackson for my grandmother and she reacted she cried and patted her foot. Oh how I miss E.T.H.
Who in Gods name would dislike this ?????
Ross Harb only heartless and empty souls would dislike this video. I hope they find god and let him into their lives.
Who knows. Maybe some thought she didn't do it right!
It doesn't matter, this is beautiful beyond words.
@@freespeechyep7417 No I won't
EDIT: But I'll still like the video
Nichl
That comment was for people who don’t like the video.
Notice how the rapid taps became in time💕 whoa then she sang back! I'm crying whoa dude!
What a loving soul, Jesus is truly in this person.
Wow! She remembers Jesus, I instantly thought of Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in a way he should go...
It was beautiful to see her singing along to these old school hymns. I've been teaching my sons these hymns since they were young too. God bless these ladies.
Omg..... I couldn't stop crying this is so precious. God places angels where they need to be at all time. Mercy Mercy..... this was very very touching.....
How beautiful❤ The Power of God is breathtaking😀. Thank you for being a vessel
I wish I knew this when my grandparents were living through Alzheimer’s and dementia. I’m thankful to know it now. I’ll help someone else’s grandma along.
Stefany Johnson...Amen Sister Stefany💕🙋🏽♀️💕
Beautiful heart.
I feel the exact same way.
This brought tears to my eyes !! I felt the heart of God all over this !!!
This is the most powerful thing I've ever witnessed, I think. I don't know who this lady is, but she is a genuine angel in the flesh.
That was one of the most beautiful reactions and interactions between two beautiful spirits that I think I have ever seen
So wonderful; God bless Naomi Feil for her work!!!
There is something with music that just moves the Soul universally in People. God bless this women for making such a lonely existence a little brighter.
Love in it's purest form, from two beautiful women.
It's amazing when she said she see her mother. My mother in her last days as I nurse her until she went to glory taught me how to take care of the elderly. It's my joy to do so. We should all care to do so.😭
Thank you my mom died from this on December 13, 2019. It made me cry cause it was like watching my mom struggle to heard, to be touched, to be loved, to not be left alone and to feel that even if it was for a short time I was there we were there together and she had those moments every now and then and I knew she was okay for that short passage of time ...
I was so touch and moved by your persuasion Naomi, The Lady was able to talk and your soul became one, God bless your heart both I’m gonna include both of you in my prayers
Such an incredibly beautiful thing to do for someone so locked inside themself
she took the time to reach her and look what a blessing !
How incredible. "Soul to soul I love you, soul to soul I care " as the song went 20 odd years ago. Demonstration of love.
The whole world in His hands. And OURS.
I’m crying my eyes out for the love these 2 ladies have, what a beautiful moment when she started to sing with her, the lord was definitely with them both. I feel privileged to have watched this special moment. Thank you. Be blessed.
Wow that sure moved my heart when she sang and pulled you close. They are in there! Changed the way I see people. 💕💕🤗
How sweet of you, this really touched my heart in so many ways. I thank the Lord for people like you! 😊
😭😭😭😭. We so quickly dismiss the elderly and the huge knowledge they have, forgetting that we too shall get old. Stop 🛑 for a moment and spend a little time with an elder, they can teach us so much.
Amen 🙏💖
Amen, We should all ask JEHOVAH GOD TO HELP US ALL, TO BE LOVING, KIND, CARING,PATIENT, AND UNDERSTANDING, OF ALL ELDERLY PEOPLE AND LOVE ONES, WHO REACH THIS STAGE IN THEIR LIVES, SOMETIMES THEY SAY AND DO THINGS WE DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH!

This lady was Naomi Feil. Renowned speech therapist who died recently. She was truly a brilliant woman and communicator
This woman is the perfect role model for a believer in Jesus. God bless her and may they both be filled with the joy of our Lord.
If ONLY the whole world could be like this 💗💞💕💗 AMAZING
The most touching thing I have ever seen. Dec. 2019
It was beautiful...music soothes the mind of young and old. True blessing.
I took care of my Father before he Passed. And this video just SHREDDED MY HEART!!! SO BEAUTIFUL!! I want to thank her for caring the way she does... ✌🏼💜😊
She is keeping Timing to the Song! Totally AMAZING!
so glad that care givers know that music can reach the unreachable. What a blessing.
This is the kind of gentle emotional deep-diving, profound perceptiveness & healing emotional processing which has made me value my Jewish friends, for they are priceless.
I want to study under this woman's teaching. I will devote my life to this, and I've already done so a lot. Her work will be my next step. Oh hallelujah :)
The lady I sat with for awhile who had Alzheimers always wanted to slow dance together to her beloved Tony Bennet greatest hits CD. And she responded to foot massages with a little bit of Young Living peppermint oil (it wakes up brain function). And I sang the old Christian hymns with an elderly friend as she neared her end of life. My step mother was comforted in her dying hours by Anugama's beautiful, grounding Shamanic Dream CDs (whatever your belief system, they are profoundly calming & comforting, not occultic or anything).
Find what works. Reach out & touch their soul, and let them feel they are not alone in there. It matters to the utmost. When we are leaving this life, doing things like this will be what we remember as having made our time on this earth matter.
she never stated if she got paid for this or it was volunteer work. i'd love to do this for a living since i have a love for the elderly and music
OH GOD THANK YOU FOR THEIR MOMENT WITH YOU
PRSISE GOD
When I first started watching, I was kind of unsure whether she was describing more of her interpretation of her movements, and what she thought they meant, rather than what was actually happening. But as soon as the woman started to sing along with her, my heart jumped. This was absolutely amazing and so beautiful.
“In His Hands...” is where I want to be helping these❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
One of the most beautiful expressions of love I've ever seen.❤
My mother died from Alzheimer's just over two years ago. Gladys' repetitive motion reminds me of what mom used to do. I was one of only a very few people she recognized to the near end. This brought me a little bit of happiness to see Gladys able to be reached. I couldn't imagine the frustration of being trapped inside my own body.
doubleg137 my mother is 88 and she is in her late stage of Alzheimer. Some days are good some days she can't even recognize me. This video touched my heart and I've cried for so long, because I thought I was alone and no one would umderstand how much it hurts to see you mom like that. But looking at the comments it gave me some hope that I am not alone in all of this.
So beautiful. This is what I wanna do for old people. I like to sing for them and tell them a story about Jesus. When you are old, you become like a child again and you will need so much comfort, peace and joy .
Awww that was beautiful. Probably no one else spends time with her like that.
I agree totally..i worked for a long time with alzheimer and dementia patients..I always showed respect,care attentiveness and respect for their privacy and dignity ..bravo this is totally wonderful..humanity at its best❤
YES GOD IS REAL FOR I CAN FEEL HIM IN MY SOUL......
I am in tears. My jaw dropped when Gladys started singing ''in His hands'' and the tears came when Naomi asked Gladys if she felt safe, with Jesus, and Gladys answered ''Yes.'' God bless these two beautiful angels, in Jesus' name, Amen.
Me too. I've never seen anything like it.
