A legendary Hollywood actor shared some touching words of wisdom that moved one of the biggest names in music to tears.

As most people know, children can be incredibly mean to one another. Kids have a knack for figuring out an area of great sensitivity and then go on to attack it relentlessly. This can make life miserable for the children on the receiving end of such treatment.

On an episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show”, Henry Winkler, best known as Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli on “Happy Days”, was the guest. Kelly and Henry were discussing his many current projects, and the subject of dyslexia came up. 

Kelly admitted that her daughter, River, is dyslexic and has been receiving trouble from her fellow classmates because of it. Kelly’s daughter, who is in the second grade, has been getting bullied at school. 

Kelly pointed out that Henry is dyslexic as well but has not let it stop him from achieving great things in life, including writing books.

“I find it amazing to tell my daughter that you’ve written, like, 40 books and you’re dyslexic,” she said. “’Cause she was getting bullied, like, at school for not being able to read like the other kids.”

Later in the segment, Henry turned to the camera and gave Kelly’s young daughter an uplifting and heartfelt message.

“River, I got it. All right, how you learn has nothing to do with how brilliant you are,” he said.

While the audience gave Henry a hearty round of applause, Kelly grabbed a tissue. She was moved to tears by Henry’s touching and sweet words of encouragement for her daughter.

Henry’s simple and kind gesture is likely something that Kelly and River will remember for a long time. As the saying goes, it costs nothing to be nice.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 “So then, go on comforting and building up one another, as you have been doing.”

One father stepped in to save the day and rescued his child with skills and knowledge he had acquired decades earlier.

Children are precious gifts from God. They are entirely dependent on the love, kindness and care of others. In addition to needing constant care, infants and toddlers must be closely monitored because, as all parents know, they are liable to put anything and everything in their mouths. Choking is a real and constant worry when it comes to little children. 

As one clip posted to YouTube shows, a father had to step in and act when his 8-month-old daughter began choking on a carrot. However, in those frantic moments of fear and horror, Dad instinctively knew exactly what to do.

In the clip, Ryan Diroma is playing basketball in his driveway when his wife screams, “Ryan, she’s choking.” Ryan immediately drops the basketball and rushes inside to his daughter, Blake, who was in his wife’s arms, choking on a carrot.

Moments later, three loud and separate noises are heard. They were Ryan forcefully hitting his daughter’s back, trying to free the carrot from Blake’s throat. 

Thankfully, Ryan’s efforts were successful, and the carrot was dislodged, filling Mom and Dad with relief. 

Ryan, in an interview, mentioned that he knew how to save his daughter's life because of what he learned 20 years ago.

“Twenty years ago, I used to be a lifeguard at a waterpark in my hometown,” Ryan said. “And I remembered, there was this picture of how you are supposed to hold a baby at a downward incline if they’re choking.”

He later added that he had never thought about that picture at his part-time job two decades ago until he had to save baby Blake’s life.

Matthew 18:10 “Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say to you, that in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.”

Singer's brother wrote this and gifted it to him just before he passed on...he was ill & dying; he was homeless and came home with us in his last 3 months on earth...his only request to us was for his brother to one day sing/play his song; we did better than that...we also made a video to go with it.

Does the thought of jumping out of an airplane terrify you? Check out this news reporter as he faces his fear of heights in a radical way.

As the news story kicks off the anchor team shares that they are doing a series called, “Never Too Late.” The anchor Nate Burleson authentically admits that he is scared of heights and he has decided to face it by going to jump out of a plane with the U.S. Army in North Carolina. Nate admits that he shouldn’t have shared about his fear on a national talk show because now he is going to have to overcome it publicly. 

In the video, you see footage of intense military jumps out of airplanes in creative ways. It looks exhilarating to some and appears life threatening to others. Nate reveals to his parents on facetime that he is going skydiving the next day. His mom comically asks him to text his mother when he lands. 

After a quick lesson, we see Nate geared up to get on the plane. He is asked if he is nervous, but Nate calmly shares that he is not at all, it was more nerve wracking playing professional football. However, once in the sky now his heart is beating fast and he is getting ready. He is humbled. Nate gets ready and they take him out of there and parachute. He shows strong arms after, but shares that the fall felt like forever. He tells the guy with him that he would do it again. Nate calls his mom and tells her that it was amazing. He says it was the most transformative thing that he has ever done. Nate shares that “your body will tell you one thing, but your heart and your mind has to overcome it.”

“The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?” Psalm 27:1

Four little children stepped up in big ways to help save their siblings’ lives.

Some may look down upon children, thinking given their age and limited life inexperience, they can't accomplish much. However, nothing could be further from the truth. One clip posted to YouTube highlights the extraordinary, life-saving efforts of four young men. 

Ezra McKivigan is a child who spotted his little sister choking and sprang into action. In addition to the girl coughing and struggling to breathe, Ezra mentioned that he saw a change in her eyes. 

“But then I saw like her eyes were getting red,” Ezra said.

Ezra then performed the Heimlich maneuver on her, which caused the little girl to cough up spaghetti. As for when and where Ezra learned how to perform the live-saving move, he credits watching videos on YouTube. 

Bridger Walker, a 6-year-old boy, sustained injuries to his face and needed 90 stitches after he stepped in to save his sister from a dog. With tears in his eyes, Bridger’s dad recalled a conversation with him following the attack in which he asked the young man why he bravely stepped in and saved his sister.

“He says, ‘Dad if somebody had to die, I’d rather it be me,”’ Bridger’s father said.

A 10-year-old saved his little brother’s life, keeping him from drowning. The child stepped in and did the same maneuver Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson performed in the child’s favorite movie, “San Andreas.”

The clip of heroic older brothers concludes with one child stepping up, using his voice to stop his little brother from being kidnapped. The child ordered the would-be kidnapper to “let my brother go.”

As the short clip indicates, children are capable of amazing things. These four young men displayed amazing bravery, quick thinking, love and determination during extreme duress. In some cases, the children put themselves in danger to save the life of others. 

Matthew 19:14 “But Jesus said, ‘Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

One brave woman is helping others learn self-defense after surviving a very frightening gym attack.

Twenty-four-year-old Nashali Alma lives in Tampa, Florida. Recently, she was working out at the gym in her apartment complex when a fellow tenant in the building came into the space and attacked her. As the man was trying to grab Nashali and chase her around the gym, she put up a fight and got away. And the scary incident was caught on the security camera.

Now, Nashali has teamed up with Youfit Gyms and instructor Jason Bleistein to help teach self-defense classes to other women. And Nashali also shared about her terrifying attack to show others how she was able to get away.

“He kept coming toward me, so we ended up here around the bench, where he was on the other side here, and we were going back and forth. I was trying to create some space,” said Nashali.

“When she ran, she put a bench between her and the attacker and used obstacles, which we teach all the time,” added instructor Jason Bleistein. “She was making it very clear, ‘Get off of me!’”

Then Nashali talked about the part of the attack that was not caught on the security camera. “He tries to put me in a chokehold, and I wiggle out of that, and I was able to elbow him in the face, and I grabbed his beard hairs. I see that he’s hurt, so that’s when I was able to get up, and I just ran out the door.”

“I wasn’t fearful,” she continued. “It was more like, ‘I won’t let this man touch me.’ It was just all instinct to react to it, fight back, be vocal, fight!”

Way to never give up, Nashali! And how wonderful it is that she is now teaching these helpful skills to other women.

“When you’re in these situations, you know, a lot of people freeze,” Nashali said. “But if you take these classes, you get to gain the confidence and the empowerment to fight back.”

A member of the judicial system showed extraordinary love, kindness and grace for a woman undergoing an extremely unpleasant time in life.

Everyone will experience difficult circumstances and trying periods in life. Not many people will escape life without being battered and bruised at times. These periods can often be devastating, leaving some wondering whether they will make it. A kind act may not appear to be much, but it can make a world of difference to someone struggling.

Judge Frank Caprio, featured on “Caught In Providence” did just that for a young woman unable to catch a break. The benevolent judge informs her that she’s appearing before him because her vehicle has been fitted with a boot. Additionally, she has accumulated a few tickets.

The woman then states that she is currently dealing with several issues. The judge, who always considers the situations of those who appear before him, asks about her predicament.

She tells the judge that she’s being stalked, is living in her car because she’s homeless and that the only money she has is the $5 in her pocket.

The judge, who wants to help the young woman, issues his ruling.

“It’s mandatory,” Judge Caprio said. “I’m going to order a $100 boot fee. I’m going to charge you $300 for the tickets. So, you’re going to own $400. Three hundred dollars of that will be paid by the Philomena Fund.”

The judge then goes on to explain how the fund works.

“Philomena Fund is a fund that’s named after my mom,” he says. “It consists of monies that are sent from all over the world for the court to use its discretion to help people that are in need.”

He says the boot is going to be removed from her vehicle and will give her her car back. Also, before the clip ends, the judge states he’s giving her an additional $50 for her to eat.

Colossians 3:12 “As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behavior be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things.” 

Check out this story of a teenager warning others about the dangers of wearing claw clips in your hair.

The claw clip is a popular hair accessory used by many women to keep their hair in place. But you’ll never believe how this simple clip ended up injuring one teenage girl.

Eighteen-year-old Paisley Riley was wearing a claw clip in her hair when she got into an accident while riding an all-terrain vehicle. The vehicle flipped over, and Paisley hit her head, which lodged the claw clip into her scalp. After being rushed to the hospital, Paisley got five staples put into her scalp to fix her head injury. 

Paisley’s mom never thought that this kind of accident could happen with a hair clip. “And I wear hair clips all the time,” she said.

After getting home from the hospital, Paisley shared the story about her accident on TikTok to warn others about the dangers that claw clips can present. And the video received over 58 million views!

Now people are cognisant of just how damaging those claw clips can be to your head if you get into an accident. One piece of advice to prevent this was given by Audra Fordham, who runs an auto shop in New York. She shared: “Put it on the top of your head so that your hair and your hair clip do not make contact with your headrest.”

Thankfully, Paisley’s head is healing nicely after her accident. And thanks to her video, many others have been warned about how to avoid having a similar situation happen to them.

Do you wear claw clips or other similar hair accessories to keep your hair in place? Maybe keep this story in mind next time you are wearing one in a vehicle and adjust the position of the hair accessory so it cannot do any serious damage.

One grandfather has gotten a lot of attention for using toys found in his suitcase to make sweet, touching videos for his granddaughter.

Generally, vacation is considered a time to sit back, relax and take it easy. Most people seek out a warmer climate, turn their minds off for a few days and do not allow the worries of everyday living to concern them. Staying on a tight schedule or doing anything remotely resembling work will not happen during these rest and relaxation periods. 

However, one loving grandpa went to work after making a startling discovery in his suitcase after arriving at his Mexican destination for a wedding.

David Zielke found several Peppa the Pig toys when unpacking. His granddaughter, Lisette, had placed the toys in her grandad’s suitcase. Instead of simply ignoring the toys, David came up with an idea.

“So, I was like, ‘You know what?’” David said. “’ I’m going to film everything we do. Hopefully, my son or daughter can put together a video and give it to her, like, as a gift.’”

Tanya Zielke, one of David’s daughters who made the trip to Mexico, began filming her father making the videos for her niece and posted them online. People instantly fell in love with David’s sweet and loving gesture and requested more content about this grandfather’s filmmaking adventures.

David filmed the toys swimming, sunbathing and taking a trip to see the whales, among other things. However, David admits not everything that happened on the trip made it into the video.

“We were doing a tequila tasting,” David said. “That didn’t make the cut.”

The reaction from David’s granddaughter, 5-year-old Lisette, to the video was precious and priceless. The child, who speaks English and French, couldn’t contain her excitement, using both languages to express her joy.

At the end of the video, David provided a heartfelt and emotional voiceover and stated why he created the video for his beautiful granddaughter.

“I think one of the joys of being a grandparent is kind of appreciate your temporary nature of life, you know what I mean?” David said. “We’re further along on our road. And so, you kind of realize, you know, let’s make these moments special. Let’s make these moments precious.”

What a simple but meaningful way for a grandfather to show his grandchild how much he loves and adores her. 

Proverbs 17:6 “Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.”

Watch this emotional moment when a woman sees a sign from God at her boyfriend’s grave. This woman’s boyfriend passed away in 2018. She went to visit his grave when deer were grazing on the grass by her boyfriend’s grave. 

While this may not seem like a miracle to you, it is for this woman. Through her tears, she said, “I love deer. They’re a symbolic animal to me.” She then added, “This is literally God. I was praying, ‘Dear God, please let him know that he was loved, and I think this is something I needed today.” 

Isn’t that so true? God will give us little signs to remind us he is present in our circumstances. Whether it’s a moment when you need grace, comfort, or solace, he reminds us He is with us. 

If we keep our faith focused on Him, God will regularly communicate with us as a quiet whisper in our hearts. In the Good Book, God constantly sent signs through messengers, like Elijah, Jonah, Jacob, John The Baptist, and Jesus Christ. 

He also used his creation, like birds, to feed Elijah or the donkey to Balaam. God even communicated with animals in the story of Noah to lead them aboard the ark. 

I pray this woman’s heart will forever be touched by this moment as a reminder God was with her in her pain and loss. What a beautiful moment in spite of tragic circumstances. 

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows,” Matthew 10:29-31.
