Get the tissues out and watch this happy reunion! Watch as a military mother surprises her young daughter. This will make your whole day.

The video shows an exciting reunion. A young girl who is only eight years old stands on her school stage. The two adults hold her hands, and she is asked to tell the student body her name. She replies that her name is Harlem. This Louisiana school puts together an amazing surprise.

The man with the microphone explains to Harlem that she is going to welcome their special guest. He puts the mic up to Harlem, and she shyly says, “Welcome to our special guest.” Suddenly, Harlem begins to look up and realizes that her mother is dressed in a military uniform, standing before her eyes. She is walking towards Harlem with a teddy bear in her hand. Harlem runs to her mother in tears, calling out, “Mama!” in excitement. Everyone cheers in the audience. It is a celebration. 

This Mom’s Return Is a Reminder of God’s Love

This video is incredibly emotional and reminds us of the great sacrifice from every single family that is involved in the military. It is a sacrifice for all of those connected to the service member, as well as the service member. We can be reminded to honor those around us who are serving in the military. We can pray for them, support their loved ones while they are away, and be a listening ear on the hard days. 

As we watch a military mother surprises young daughter, may we be inspired. God’s love for us is awaiting a precious homecoming, too. He told us that one day He is coming back and we too will have a celebration at our reunion with Him. 

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

Is it frivolous to pray for your favorite sports team to win, or does God actually care about what happens on the field?

This week, Alana joins Jaime for an honest and engaging conversation on redeeming the way we view our faith, our athletic pursuits, and the complex intersection of sports and prayer.

In this episode, Jaime shares her powerful personal story of her son’s year-long prayer to score a single hockey goal, and how God used that seemingly unanswered prayer to build the resilience he would need later in life. Together, they unpack the theological realities of mixing scripture and athletics—including the common misuse of Philippians 4:13—and offer practical advice for parents and athletes who want to honor God without compartmentalizing the hobbies they love.

Alana and Jaime also tackle the profound spiritual significance of physical training, explaining how sports can uniquely develop character—from the mental stamina required for cross-country running and the discipline learned in team sports, to the incredible opportunities for evangelism and building spiritual resilience on and off the bench.

You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on John Piper's concept of "Christian hedonism," the beautiful truth that God takes joy in seeing us use our physical gifts, and how to authentically praise God even when the final score doesn't go your way.
