Random Acts Of Kindness

An unexpected and heartwarming Secret Santa gift moved a selfless school janitor to tears. The woman was overwhelmed by the kindness and love shown to her, and as a result, the tears started flowing. This is a beautiful moment that you’ll want to watch for sure!

Everyone has plans and things they want to do and accomplish. However, we all know that life often gets in the way of those well-thought-out plans and goals. Situations and circumstances entirely out of our control will arise seemingly out of nowhere, forcing us to reassess and change our priorities and goals.

There are also instances in which other people need a little help. Lending them some much-needed assistance can sometimes force our needs, priorities and goals to take a back seat. Thinking for and caring about others ahead of oneself is precisely what Wendy, an elementary school janitor, has done.

A clip posted on YouTube mentions that she gave up her only reliable means of transportation to her sister. Wendy now drives a truck that is riddled with problems. The selfless school janitor also cares for her elderly mother, who lives with her.

Wendy, the kind, loving, and selfless school janitor, was surprised at work by some of the kindness and love that she so often shows others. First, she was surprised with a check for $1,000. That monetary gift caused a catch in her throat and tears to well up in her eyes.

But that wasn’t all.

Wendy was also given the keys to a new car. This was too much for the woman who thinks of others ahead of herself. She simply could not believe it, and tears started rolling down her face.

“Thank you so much,” Wendy said to the camera and the person who made those gifts possible. “I don’t even know what to say; I’m sorry. Miracles happen. What a day.”

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

My impressions and thoughts inspired primarily by the Biblical historical accounts of the demon possessed man's encounter with Jesus Christ in the region of Gadara recorded in the Gospels: Matthew 8:28-34; Mark 5:1-21; Luke 8:26-40.

A retiring mailman received a heartfelt send-off from the community members on his route after more than 30 years on the job.

Retiring can be a bittersweet moment. Throughout their working lives, most people save and put away money, hoping that they will one day be able to retire. Retirement is the dream for most people. Who wants to work their whole life? There’s so much to do and see in this world. Why spend all that time working if retirement is a possibility?

When that last day of work finally arrives, it can hit like a brick wall. When that day comes, most people will likely feel many different emotions. Yes, they are pleased to be able to stop working, but there is a part of them that may not necessarily miss the job but will miss the people they worked with and for. That is what life is about anyway: people and those relationships.

A sweet, tear-jerking video on social media captured a longtime mailman’s last day of work after 31 years. In the clip, the gentleman mentions that he has worked on the same route for 24 and a half years.

Over the more than two decades he has been delivering mail on that specific route, those people have become like family to him. He cared for them, worried about them and celebrated with them. He added that he and the people he delivered mail to grew up together.

“You’re walking the same route every day, 12.2 miles,” he said. “And all of a sudden, a sign shows up in the yard: ‘Congratulations, we had a boy.’ And then next thing you know, ‘Congratulations, I just graduated from high school.’ Then it’s ‘Congratulations, I just graduated from college.’ So, those whole things, when you watch start to finish, unforgettable.”

On his last work day, community members did not forget about him either. Everyone came out to say goodbye and wish him a happy retirement. Everywhere he went, people greeted him and thanked him for his service and for being more than just someone who delivered the mail.

“This was it. This was the best send-off that could be. What a way to walk off,” he said.

A high school janitor's emotional reaction to a group of students' Jeep surprise will warm your heart.

Life can and often is a struggle to survive. The concerns, worries and burdens that typically accompany everyday living can weigh and run you down physically and mentally. Unfortunately, there will be instances that push you to your brink, causing you to cry out for help.

When life's dark valleys and storms arrive, remember that God has promised He will never leave nor forsake us. Even when it may seem that He has disappeared or ceased to be involved, He is still working in that situation. No problem or circumstance is too big for Him.

Additionally, God also uses those around us in these situations. He'll also allow those around us to shower us with love and kindness even when we aren't struggling or hurting. It's one of the many ways the Lord shows how much he loves and cares for us.

In a short but touching clip posted on YouTube, a group of high school students came together to show how much they love and appreciate a janitor at their school. Francis Apraku works at a Virginia high school, and he has struck up friendships with the students.

The students mentioned that Francis is always such a friendly, caring individual. One of the students said Francis is the first person to ask about their problems if they were having a bad day. He genuinely cares about them, showing them kindness and concern.

The students, wanting to return the favor, decided to do something nice for Francis. The video states that the hard-working janitor sends money to his relatives in Ghana. But the students asked him if he could buy anything at all for himself. If he could, what would it be? A Jeep Wrangler, Francis told them.

That's precisely what the students set out to buy. They immediately started a fundraising campaign, raising $22,000 for the Jeep Wrangler.

When the moment arrived, and the boys presented Francis with the 2015 Jeep Wrangler, he was brought to his knees with tears streaming from his eyes.

"I can't believe this in America," Francis said. "Only in America. America is a great country. I mean, God bless America."

Ephesians 4:32 "And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you."

Music legend Jon Bon Jovi's kindness and heartfelt words helped to talk a woman down off a bridge.

The world can be a cruel and lonely place. Everyday living, with all the stresses, worries, burdens and concerns, can be challenging and nearly impossible to maneuver. Many situations and circumstances can push us to our breaking point. It can get so bad that giving up and throwing in the towel seems preferable to continuing.

However, God remains with us when we endure life's many dark valleys and storms. His Word makes this abundantly clear: He will never leave nor forsake us. Even when it may not appear so, He is still in control and on the throne.

Also, when we feel unworthy of love or less than, we need to remember that we matter and are loved by the Creator of the universe. God has a plan and a purpose for every life. Everyone matters in His eyes.

A video posted on YouTube shows a woman standing on a bridge in Nashville, Tennessee. She was about to hurl herself off the bridge, ending her life. But as the clip shows, Bon Jovi, who happened to be shooting a music video on the bridge, walked over to her, offered her comfort and eventually helped talk her off the bridge.

As the clip mentions, the woman climbed off the bridge to safety about a minute later. The clip captures Jon giving the woman a warm and loving embrace.

Following the life-saving deed, the Nashville Police Department praised the rocker with a post on social media.

"It takes all of us to keep each other safe," the message read.

We never know what battle or fight someone may be silently going through. But we also never know how a kind, loving act or Word may dramatically impact and influence someone's entire life.

Ephesians 4:32 "And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you."

An officer's kindness, care and advice during a traffic stop inspired a driver to change her life.

Most people drive daily and can do so while concentrating or thinking about other things. When this happens, and our minds wander, our feet can get a little heavy. Exceeding the speed limit is an activity that most drivers, if they are being completely honest with themselves, do at some point.

Unfortunately, traveling above the posted speed limit can result in being pulled over by a member of law enforcement. Is there a scarier or more adrenaline-inducing sight than seeing those blue and red flashing lights in your rearview mirror? No one wants a ticket, but when speeding, that is what often happens to motorists.

However, instead of a speeding ticket, the responding officer treated one motorist with kindness and gave her helpful advice. A clip posted on YouTube explains how the officer's kind words and understanding actions helped one young woman improve her life.

The woman, 20-year-old Abbie Rutledge, was pulled over for speeding. But that traffic stop led to a discussion with the trooper, J.T. Brown. Abbie explained that she was broke and could not afford to pay a speeding ticket. The two of them discussed possible career paths for the young woman.

Instead of a ticket, Trooper Brown gave Abbie a warning and a message.

"Promise me you'll go scrub or nursing school & school & slow down, & I won't give you a ticket," the note said.

Well, Abbie took the trooper's advice and kindness seriously. Abbie is now a surgical technician at the University of Alabama, Birmingham Hospital.  The trooper even attended Abbie's graduation ceremony.

"Five minutes talking to anybody, even if you don't know them, can make the largest impact on their life ever," Abbie said.

Abbie's change significantly moved the trooper and how she took his advice and kindness to heart.

"She made my entire career worth it. She did," Trooper Brown said.

Ephesians 4:32 "And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ has forgiveness for you."

For one high school volleyball team in Colorado, a dream they never expected to come true became a reality when Selena Gomez showed up at their game. Telluride Middle/High School students had playfully created a sign asking the superstar to perform the national anthem at one of their home games. They had no idea their request would lead to an unforgettable encounter with the singer and actress.

The sign, held up by the volleyball team, read, “Selena, will you sing the national anthem at our game?” They weren’t expecting her to respond—after all, how often does a pop star come to high school games? But little did they know Selena was in town for a weekend festival. She saw the sign and did something incredibly kind and sweet.

Selena showed up in the gym and was met with stunned silence. No one could believe she was there! It took a few moments for everyone to realize that the woman walking in was, in fact, the very star they had invited. From the video, the silence quickly turned into an eruption of excitement. The girls shouted, “Selena!” Within seconds, students and fans rushed to greet her. Selena not only said hello to the girls but stayed for quite a while, happily interacting with the teens and taking photos with them. 

Even though Selena didn’t end up singing the national anthem, none of the teens minded in the least. Her presence alone seemed to make the day special.

In a post on social media later, Selena shared her joy in being able to surprise the team. “They asked!! Couldn’t help it, it’s my first time in Telluride!” she captioned the pictures of her visit. Her warmth and kindness shone through, giving these teens a memory they will forever cherish.

Selena’s visit was heartwarming for these teenagers when a simple act of kindness brightened their day. What started as a simple request on Instagram became an incredible moment these teens won't soon forget. Not every day, a pop star comes to a high school volleyball game. Thank God for unexpected moments that remind us of the importance of making time for others.

Hebrews 13:16 "And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased."

God does not approve of domestics violence. God approves of love. If you are in a situation of abuse or know someone who is and needs help. This video can help you understand on how to get help. Even though you may not feel it, but God is with you and will never forsake you in hard times. Prayer helps and he will lead you out of the shadows.

The Lord answered one family's prayer for help with unexpected kindness from a concerned and loving neighbor.

Life is often a series of unexpected events for anyone who may not know yet. Sometimes, those surprises are good and joyous and cause celebration. But other times, they are of the unwelcome, painful and heartbreaking variety.

Thankfully, when life's dark valleys and storms arrive, the Lord has placed caring and loving people in our lives. We can rely upon these individuals to help us through whatever we're enduring. These people are godsends and sometimes even literal answers to prayer. That was precisely what happened to one Tennessee family suffering and going through one of life's trials.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one woman, Tiara Leonard, spotted something unusual with her neighbors. She noticed that the family's car had not left their driveway in weeks and it had been a while since their lawn had been mowed. She also learned that the family was going through some medical issues.

That's when Tiara reached out for help on behalf of the Todd family. She wanted to do something to give them a helping hand during their time of need. Tiara then approached the Todds’ house with the help of a Memphis, Tennessee, television station and an anonymous donor, but there was no answer.

Several days later, Tiara tried the Todd residence again, and this time, Tammy Dodd answered the door. But little did Tiara know that her help was a quick answer to prayer.

"Me and my husband got together," Tammy said. "I woke him up at two or 3 o'clock in the morning, and I said, 'Let's pray. Let's ask God to help us through this process.' And He touched your heart to think about me even when family didn't, and I appreciate this."

Our acts of kindness and love could be the Lord’s way of answering the prayer of someone who so desperately needs it.

Ephesians 4:32 "And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you."

Basketball star Caitlin Clark helped uplift and encourage children and their families during her visit to a hospital.

Athletes are some of society's most looked up to and admired people. Athletes especially captivate children and young people. They can pull off thrilling maneuvers on the field or court. Through years of intense, dedicated and focused practice, athletes can do things that most people can only imagine.

For that reason, children commonly look up to and adore athletes. Athletes excel in games that children play with their friends. Many children want to become a New York Yankee or a Los Angeles Laker when they grow up. So, that's why any attention from a notable athlete always means so much to children. They don't care if it's five minutes or five seconds with their favorite player.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Caitlin Clark, a member of the Indiana Fever and arguably the most well-known athlete on the planet, stopped by a children's hospital in Indianapolis. The basketball star spent time visiting and chatting with children in the NICU and their families.

The short two-minute clip begins with the former Iowa Hawkeye holding a young woman and presenting the child with a stuffed animal. It's the Indiana Fever's mascot, Freddy. The child is taken aback by the gift from Caitlin, unable to take her eyes off the stuffed animal.

Throughout the clip, Caitlin signs and presents a small basketball to some of the hospital's tiniest patients.

A mother of one of the patients appreciated Caitlin stopping by to see and visit with everyone.

"Well, for her to stop her busy schedule and to just check on all the babies here it means a lot," the mother said. "It means a lot."

Near the end of the clip, Caitlin mentions how much she enjoyed visiting with the patients, their families and hospital staff. She said hopes to do it again soon.

A kind man rescues a stuck and frightened baby swan in a heartwarming move despite being attacked by its parent!

Simon, a dedicated wildlife aid, was summoned to an urgent rescue when a distress call came in about a baby swan caught in a chain-link fence. The situation was critical: the baby swan was entangled and struggling, and time was of the essence. Simon, known for his expertise and compassion in wildlife rescue, quickly made his way to the scene, prepared to face the challenge head-on.

Upon arriving, Simon encountered an unexpected obstacle. The baby swan’s father, a protective and determined swan dad, saw Simon as a threat to his young one. With fierce intensity, the father swan launched repeated attacks, trying to drive Simon away from the fence. His aggressive behavior was proof of the strong parental instincts that swans exhibit, especially when it comes to safeguarding their offspring.

Despite the swan dad’s best efforts to deter him, Simon remained calm and focused. He understood the urgency of the situation and knew that saving the baby swan required both skill and patience. With gentle precision, Simon worked to carefully untangle the baby swan from the chain-link fence. Each movement was deliberate, ensuring that the young bird was freed without further harm, and he gently fought off the swan’s protective advances.

The rescue operation was a delicate balance of respecting the swan dad’s protective nature while prioritizing the baby swan’s safety. Simon’s dedication shone through as he navigated the challenging circumstances, demonstrating the importance of empathy and persistence in wildlife rescue. The baby swan, now free from its entanglement, was reunited with its vigilant father.

Simon talked to the father swan, “You feeling a bit calmer? Good. Before he talked to the onlookers as they watched the entire family swim away, “So they’ve all got together again. Everybody’s happy, and I’ve got a bruised arm.” He added, “It’s so lovely to do something like that,” as he watched the reunited family swim away. 

In moments like these, we are reminded of the profound care and commitment of individuals like Simon. It’s a blessing to have people who dedicate their time and energy to helping the world’s animals ensuring their safety and well-being. We give thanks to God for such compassionate souls who help us cherish and protect the creatures that share our world, bringing hope and healing where it is needed most.

Matthew 6:26 "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"

A bus driver gave a woman the shoes off her feet in a beautiful act of generosity and love.

The world is a sad, cruel and lost place. Sin has done a number on our society, destroying anything and everything it encounters. As a result, many people are hurting and struggling, desperately looking for anything that may give them even the tiniest bit of hope.

Individuals struggling and suffering are all around us. They could be your co-worker, neighbor, someone we pass on the street or even a family member. There is plenty of need all around us. However, one question remains: How will we respond to and help those in need?

According to a video posted on YouTube, Minneapolis bus driver Jayne Arendt-Verhelst saw a need one day and acted swiftly to meet it. Jayne spotted a woman, who appeared to be homeless, standing in the middle of the road. Jayne stopped and gave the woman a lift. 

However, Jayne quickly noticed something unusual about the mysterious woman.

She didn’t have any shoes. For a second, Jayne put herself in that woman’s position, trying to see the world through her eyes.

“I can’t imagine what it’s like walking around in bare feet on the hot pavement, and just nobody sees you,” Jayne said. “She’s just kind of invisible, you know?”

But Jayne saw her and acted with generosity and love. The video shows Jayne taking the shoes off her feet and giving them to the unknown woman.

Yes, people are sinners and need the life-changing touch and forgiveness that can only come from Jesus Christ. But we must meet people where they are first. If someone is hungry, thirsty, doesn’t have a coat or lacks some other kind of necessity and we don’t meet that need, how receptive are they going to be to anything else we say or do?

Acts 20:35 “In all things I was an example to you of how, in your lives, you are to give help to the feeble, and keep in memory the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘There is a greater blessing in giving than in getting.’”

In an inspiring and heartwarming journey, strangers help a mother traveling alone with her son. From helping with her luggage to a stranger offering to entertain her son, each act of kindness filled her heart with faith and hope. 

Traveling with a baby is challenging under the best circumstances, and facing this challenge alone can be overwhelming. Imagine the fear and anxiety she felt as she embarked on her journey. Yet, throughout her trip, this mother discovered a "village" of compassionate strangers who stepped in at every turn, each gesture weaving together a tapestry of support and kindness that left her deeply moved.

Her video opens with a poignant moment—this brave mama stands alone, cradling her son, and the caption reads: “I’m scared to travel alone with my son; we have no village to help us.” The raw vulnerability of her words captures the depth of her apprehension as she navigates this challenging journey.

From the moment she boarded the airplane, the kindness began. Fellow passengers offered to help with her heavy luggage, made room for her and her baby, and shared comforting words. One elderly gentleman even held her son by the window, giving her a much-needed break and capturing a touching moment of relief and gratitude.

The acts of kindness continued. On a search for a hotel, a pair of young boys generously shared their snacks with her son. Later, the driver went above and beyond during an Uber ride, ensuring her comfort and safety. He let them wait in his car rather than at a train station late at night, showing a genuine concern for their well-being.

The generosity did not end there. On the train, strangers offered assistance with the stroller and shared friendly smiles. The most profound moment came when a stranger walked over a mile to a grocery store to bring back milk for her son after they were stranded while waiting for their train.

The mother documented these touching moments, highlighting the extraordinary kindness she encountered. Her video, filled with these acts of compassion, is a powerful reminder of the goodness in people.

In the caption of her video, she pours out her heart: “Sobbing crying making this video. My faith in humanity was restored after this whole experience.” Her words reflect the profound gratitude and emotional impact of these gestures.

Her story reveals the beautiful power of human kindness and the difference it can make. It illustrates how even small acts of generosity can restore hope and reaffirm our belief in the goodness of others. In a world where it’s easy to feel disheartened, this mother’s journey stands as a beacon of hope, showing that even in the most challenging moments, there are people ready to extend a hand and make the world a more compassionate place, one act of kindness at a time.

Galatians 6:9 "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

A stranger’s unexpected act of kindness in IKEA brought a woman, a mother of four, to tears.

Children are absolutely fantastic and one of the biggest and best ways the Lord blesses our lives. They bring so much joy, love and happiness, making for a much fuller and richer life. There really is nothing like being a parent and watching those little ones grow, learn and explore a whole new world.

But when raising children, not every moment is picture-perfect. It can often be quite the opposite. What used to be a fast, easy and straightforward errand before having children, like going to the grocery store, can become a long, drawn-out and emotion-filled situation after kids enter the picture. Every parent knows this to be 100% true.

In a video posted on social media, one woman recalls taking her four children to IKEA. Early in the video, she admits that she wasn’t setting herself up for success by taking four youngsters to the popular furniture outlet alone.

She also states that one of her children has special needs and requires additional attention at times. That child can get “quite overwhelmed and distressed in certain environments,” but predicting when this happens is hard to do.

As the mother was nearly finished in IKEA, the youngster became overwhelmed, which caused another of the four children, a 2-year-old, to throw a massive tantrum in the store. Mom tried responding to everyone’s needs while finishing her shopping trip. Mom needed a minute herself.

But that’s when something unexpected and extraordinary happened.

Instead of simply staring at the scene and walking on by, a woman approached the mother of four and asked how she could help. The mother of four was so overwhelmed by the kindness that she immediately burst into tears.

The woman stayed with the mother of four as she attempted to calm the children. She even helped walk the mother to her car.

“I cannot thank her enough for her kindness,” the mother said. “Her family was so patient, and the love and the kindness that she showed me in that moment was more than I could have ever hoped for.”

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

A construction worker showed great concern and unexpected kindness after a child had a nasty bike wreck.

Children are supposed to be outside enjoying the great outdoors, having fun, exploring with their friends and engaging in some much-needed physical activity. Phones, tablets and other devices with screens consume too much of our time, including children's. Putting the screens down and spending more time outside, away from those devices, would do us all some good.

One of the most common ways for children to experience the outdoors is by riding a bike. It's a great way to exercise and a relatively quick method of getting from Point A to Point B. Plus, riding bikes is just a lot of fun.

In a clip posted on social media, a young man and his buddies were outside, riding their bikes together, when he rode past a construction site. The construction workers were working on the lane next to them when the young man took a tumble and fell. From the video, the crash looks pretty bad. It wouldn't have been surprising if the young man had come away from the wreck with an injury or two.

After the young man falls to the ground, one of the construction workers immediately rushes over to him. The kind city worker picks up the little guy's bike and then proceeds to help the young man to his feet.

But the construction worker's kindness did not stop there. He dusted off the boy's bike, made sure it still operated properly and even cleaned off the young man's hands.

Soon after, the group of youngsters was back on their way. Right before the clip ends, the construction worker lightly and friendly pats one of the children on the helmet as the kids ride past him.

It doesn't take much to be kind to someone else, but it can significantly impact the person receiving the action or one witnessing the move.

Ephesians 4:32 "And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you."

In a heartwarming tale that's gone viral, a police officer’s heartwarming act of kindness to a dog in the rain will make you want to stand up and clap for his generosity. 

Trooper Lance Willis of the Tennessee Highway Patrol became a real-life superhero when he rescued a stray dog from a rainy predicament. Spotting the pooch wandering perilously in the middle of rush hour traffic, Trooper Willis sprang into action, parking his patrol car strategically with lights ablaze to halt oncoming vehicles. With a beckoning gesture, he stepped out into the rain and coaxed the hesitant dog into safety.

The dashcam footage capturing this act of kindness shows Trooper Willis patiently gaining the trust of the wary pup named Luna. Once aboard the safety of his vehicle, Luna found comfort in the company of her temporary rescuer, who ensured she was safe until animal control arrived. Luna was whisked off to Petworks Animal Services, where a reunion with her worried family awaited.

Relieved and touched by Luna's safe recovery, Trooper Willis expressed his gratitude upon learning that Luna's family had been located. Social media erupted with praise for the officer's compassionate gesture, with users hailing him as more than just a cop – he was a true hero for animals everywhere. "Tennesse State Trooper Willis, you're my hero," one commenter shared, echoing the sentiments of many touched by the heartening rescue. Another joked, “The dog is like I called for an Uber, but this nice policeman will do it!”

In a world often filled with sirens and traffic, Trooper Willis' selfless act stands out as a beacon of hope and compassion. Luna's story reminds us of the bond between humans and their furry companions, proving that even in the midst of a storm, there are always moments of kindness that shine through like a sunny day.

Psalm 23:1-3 "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake." 

A stranger’s unexpected kindness shined as he helped a mother traveling alone with her toddler.

Children are wonderful and nothing but blessings from the Lord above. They add much joy and happiness, creating a richer and fuller life. Any and every parent would wholeheartedly agree with those statements.

However, as much as children are terrific and the best gift possible, positively impacting our lives in every way, they can also be tiring. Children are constantly growing, learning and exploring, wanting to go every which way all the time.  All of that energy and excitement from their little one can lead to a tired and worn-out mother or father. Those, too, are statements with which every parent would also concur.  

In particular, children in the toddler phase can be taxing on a parent’s nerves and patience. That’s why when one man saw a mother traveling alone with her youngster struggling, he stepped in to lend a helping and loving hand.

The short clip begins after the man spots the mother having issues with her little one and offers to hold and carry the child’s car seat and stroller to their seats on the plane. But after boarding the aircraft, the man’s kindness did not stop.

To give the mother a little time to herself, the gentleman took the child to the cockpit to meet the pilots. The unidentified man also carried the young man around the plane, giving him a tour of the aircraft.

The mother definitely appreciated that man’s unexpected display of love and kindness. The short clip ends with the mother referring to the man as an “angel.”

We never know how big of a difference a little act of kindness could mean to someone hurting or struggling. It could mean the world to that person and show them that someone still cares and loves them.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

One sweet young man’s generous act inspires and will restore your faith in humanity and also in the younger generation.

Generosity and kindness are in short supply and always will be. That’s because we can never have too much of either of them. The more kindness and generosity we can show someone else, the better.

We never know how our unexpected acts of kindness and generosity may impact someone else’s life. They may lead to a massive, monumental change in another individual’s life or make a minuscule, barely noticeable difference in someone else’s day.

We can also never be too sure how the person acting out of kindness will be impacted. We should never show others kindness and generosity while considering ourselves and how it will affect and improve our lives. Showing someone kindness and generosity while having selfish, self-centered motivations defeats the purpose.

However, one young man,9-year-old Kelvin Ellis Jr., who had nothing but the sweetest and purest intentions and motivations, showed a stranger unexpected kindness and generosity. Kelvin offered a man he thought was homeless his only dollar bill. It was money that young Kelvin had just received as a reward for his grades.

It turned out the man Kelvin offered his money to was not homeless. Instead, the man was Matt Busbice, a business owner who has bought and sold companies that have generated millions of dollars, according to CBS.

Kelvin’s generosity incredibly moved Matt.

“I haven’t had that much faith in humanity in a very long time,” he said.

Matt was sure to repay Kelvin for his kind act and generosity. He gave the young man a 40-second shopping spree in his sporting goods store, where he could grab anything and everything he wanted.

But beyond just that, the two have become friends since Kelvin’s generous and kind act.

“If you give, you’re actually going to get more out of that,” Matt said. “I couldn’t grasp that as a kid. And if we can spread that around, everything changes.”

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

One woman is on a mission to help sick children in hospitals celebrate their birthdays.

There are a lot of bad, heartbreaking and gut-wrenching things that happen in this fallen and lost world. But children suffering or being hospitalized with a life-threatening illness is one of the worst situations. They are the most vulnerable and innocent members of society and to see children hurting will break your heart every time.

When they see or hear of a child in the hospital battling an illness, most people want to help in any way possible. They want to do something to help ease that youngster’s pain, even for a few days or hours. Helping to bring a smile to a sick child’s face is exactly what one woman is doing.

Stephanie, a wedding planner in Rhode Island, appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show and talked about her initiative, what motivated her to help hospitalized children recognize their big days and what she sends them to celebrate their birthdays.

Stephanie said the idea came after she learned that most hospitals present children with a cake and a gift and sing “Happy Birthday.” She wanted to do more, so she got to work. She started by calling hospitals around the country to find out if that was the norm, and she found out it was.

She started putting together party boxes filled with birthday decorations for sick children. In the 10 years since she began helping sick children in the hospital celebrate their big days, Stephanie has sent thousands of party boxes. Inside the box, there is everything needed to throw a fantastic birthday party.

“We totally believe that happiness heals,” she said. “And having a decorated room on a birthday in a hospital, we believe, helps in the healing process of an illness and brings so much joy to kids and their families and creates a positive memory during their journey, during their sickness and being in the hospital.”

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”
