Some stories surge into your heart like a mighty river finding its way, and this article about the Humphrey brothers saving their Tennessee home is one that’s got me positively radiant!

I’m just bursting with warmth picturing Justin and Tucker, two farmers from Bogota, working day and night to build a towering dirt levee around their childhood home, turning it into a green island while the Obion River roared nine feet higher in just hours.

It’s so uplifting to know they learned this clever trick from their late dad, who taught them how to move three acres of earth with farm equipment to keep their mom’s house safe, just as he did years ago.

I love how they stood firm, even as storms killed 30 across the South, with Tucker saying he’d build that levee “30 feet tall if I got to,” honoring their family’s roots on that land. The viral helicopter video, showing their home untouched amid a sea of brown floodwaters, is like a love letter to their dad’s wisdom.

This story lifts my soul because it’s a powerful reminder that family, grit, and a father’s lessons can hold back even the wildest floods, keeping love and home safe for generations.
