It was precious to see a reporter acting like a human and crying.

[bryanlb]

The female newscaster should be honored. We normally see newscasters showing no emotion whatsoever, just reading the news. I think she was showing she is human. How could you not cry, especially having a young son the same age and hearing how this boy was swept away.

I have a similar story. I was with my son 4 years old and we were in dire peril we were on an ice packed rd my tires were turned to make the corner but i was going straight i wanted to jump out but my son was buckeled into his booster seat and there was no time to get hm out. So i knew we were going to go over together, i could not leave him and a voice i never heard before told me what i needed to do but my brain refused, the voice said sternly " hit the gas NOW !" But that would just send me faster over the cliff but the voice never let up, " hit the gas now!!" So i did and that cliff we were sliding towards with just feet left before we would have crashed into a raging creek at the bottom of that cliff, became the bank on the other side of the road. The voice saved us, I'll never forget that ever. God is real and he loves us.

I am from NY and I am in awe of how faithful Carolinians are and how they express their love for God without shame

[angelapemberton]

im crying so hard this lady is the STRONGEST WOMAN SHE HAS THE FAITH OF HUNDREDS OF SOULS

[glennchristie]

Watching this video - I am literally watching “The PEACE that passes all understanding.” I am also very proud of these FOX Reporters. They are not ashamed to talk about Jesus on camera.. God Bless all of you. That 7 year old is definitely with Jesus - as a Super Hero…

[thecatatemyhomework]

I have so much respect for this reporter.

[tammyturner]

Micah called on the ONLY one who could help him and he DID. In spirit, he’s in a much better place than we are. Safe and secure.

[jessicashearer]

She raised her son right. So heartbreaking to hear but what incredible strength she has. Prayers for her!

[NessGarland]

The fact that he was calling Jesus is the most amazing thing. This family is safe in the arms of Jesus. It’s heartbreaking but at the same time this is such an amazing story. The peace that comes from knowing God is like no other. To God be the glory 🙌🏾

I am so appreciative of how respectful and compassionate these reporters were. I was surprised that they allowed these women to speak so clearly and openly about their faith rather than shutting them down. ❤

A mom here….

I’m crying for you. I’m so sorry. For a small child’s faith to be so strong is so amazing. Mom you are such a wonderful mom teaching him about Jesus.

May God wrap his arms around you and comfort you. ❤
