Heartwarming

This 4-year-old's sweet gesture is a beautiful example of obedience to God. The youngster wanted to do something very unexpected for one particular reason. Watch the short but moving clip to hear about the young man's heartwarming move and why he wanted to do it.

Throughout the Bible, God talks to many people, often giving them specific instructions and commands. In the case of Moses, He gave him a list of 10 very specific directives atop Mount Sinai, which you and I know as the 10 Commandments. In the Garden of Eden, He also told Adam and Eve to avoid eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Of course, we all know how that turned out for them, and since we're still dealing with the repercussions of their disobedience, us.

However, if asked, most people would likely say that God doesn't talk directly to people anymore, at least not like He did to Noah, Moses and Adam and Eve. But one young mother's beautiful and heartwarming situation involving her young son will likely change your opinion.

In the video posted on YouTube, the woman recalls her 4-year-old unexpectedly stating that he wanted to gather up some of his favorite toys and give them to one of his classmates. This caught her by surprise, but she went along with her son's desire, making arrangements to hand off the toys to the classmate's mother. That's when the woman learned how God works, answered prayer and showed her how her son obeyed God.

"I asked my son this morning, I said, 'What made you want to give all those toys to Johnna?' Like, it's pretty generous. It's like a lot of the predators of the animal kingdom toys that he has. And he said, 'God.'"

Later in the clip, the 4-year-old's mother learned while talking with the other boy's mother that she had recently prayed for and asked the Lord for toys for her children.

God hears and answers prayer, but it's up to us to listen and be obedient.

Jeremiah 7:23 "But this was the order I gave them, saying, 'Give ear to my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people: go in all the way ordered by me, so that all may be well for you.'"

Walmart turned into a dance party thanks to this man's moves. He used his fancy footwork and a classic song to spread happiness and joy. Watch the short but delightful clip to see how one man's good time quickly spread to everyone else in the vicinity.

Our moods and how we act are infectious. If we're upset or angry and then stomp around as we stew, odds are that those around us won't be in the best of moods either. Those individuals will be walking around on pins and needles, hoping they don't say or do something that sets that person off. It just makes for an unpleasant experience for everyone involved.

However, if we are in a good mood and act halfway decent to people, not as an overgrown baby who lost their pacifier, they will react accordingly. Those around us will be in a better mood, making the day better for everyone. You know this to be true because we have all experienced similar situations many times before.

A clip posted on YouTube showed just how easily happiness and joy can spread to others. While dancing through a Walmart, the man in the video shows off his best moves as he approaches others. Everyone he comes up to immediately starts dancing, and you'll also notice they do so with a big smile on their faces. Even those who chose not to dance but just take in the joyous and somewhat strange sight of someone dancing in a Walmart are having a good time.

It also doesn't hurt that he's dancing about that particular Walmart location to Kool & The Gang's "Get Down on It." It's nearly physically impossible to be in a bad mood whenever that song 
plays. 

So, yes, our moods and actions impact those around us, and this short clip is a perfect example of that.

Psalm 149:3 "Let them give praise to his name in the dance: let them make melody to him with instruments of brass and corded instruments of music."

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson helped to grant a Make-A-Wish dream in the most touching way. The popular actor and wrestler went out of his way to help make one young man’s wish become a reality. Watch the short but heartwarming and tear-jerking video of The Rock making a young man’s day.

Kindness and love are in short supply today. The evidence for such a statement is seen all around us – television news broadcasts, on social media platforms and in the actions and words of our governmental leaders. For some unexplained reason, most people seem more focused on tearing one another down than building each other up. They’d rather yell and scream at each other than offer mercy and grace.

Sadly, the things that get people so worked up and at each other’s throats are trivial and meaningless issues, subjects that, in the long run, mean nothing. How much better could our world be if our first instinct wasn’t to yell and scream but to offer kindness, love and compassion? Dwayne Johnson is someone who constantly exhibits kindness and warmth for sick children and those less fortunate.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Dwayne met a young man, Nathan, while promoting his latest movie. After that, Dwayne and his team quickly worked together on another meeting between the two and putting together one heck of a surprise, a once-in-a-lifetime event for Nathan and his family.

Nathan is a huge fan of Dwayne and his many blockbuster movies. The two spent time together, arm wrestled, and even recorded a video for Kevin Hart, in which Nathan did his best impersonation of the comedian.

But that wasn’t all.

The Rock had arranged for Nathan and his family to enjoy dinner at an exclusive restaurant. Since Nathan is also a huge Lakers fan, he worked it out for Nathan and his family to visit, tour and spend time at the Los Angeles Lakers’ facility.

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.”

Dick Van Dyke serenaded his wife on her birthday and also shared how the two met. The Hollywood legend delivered an incredibly adorable musical performance. Watch the short but oh so sweet clip to listen to Dick sing and tell about the first time he laid eyes on his wife.

There are very few people alive who are as beloved as Dick Van Dyke. One could argue that in recent memory, the only other person to reach that level was the late Betty White. Dick's work, including "The Dick Van Dyke Show," "Mary Poppins," "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" as well as "Diagnosis Murder," has been loved and admired for decades. Not only that, but he appears to be a genuine, good-hearted person who loves and appreciates what he has and has been able to do with his life.

Despite being nearly 100 years old, he remains somewhat active, making public appearances occasionally. In a clip posted on YouTube, Dick's wife, Arelene, was celebrating her birthday with her husband right by her side. In fact, he led the room in singing "Happy Birthday," which he ended by planting a big kiss on her lips.

Following the musical performance, Dick took the microphone and shared a little bit about the couple's history, including the first time he laid eyes on the person he calls the most "beautiful woman" he's seen in his life.

"I never walked up to a strange woman in my life," he said. "I was backstage at the Emmys, I guess. SAG Awards. I was just waiting to go on. She walked by without even thinking. I jumped and said, 'Hi, I'm Dick.' And I found out she was a makeup lady, hired her, and now we've been married 13 years, and I couldn't be happier."

What an unbelievably sweet story!

Genesis 2:24 "For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh."

A husband’s sweet serenade to his wife on a tough day will melt your heart. He played the young woman a beautiful song when he knew she had a rough day. Watch the short but oh so sweet video to see and listen to the husband play a song for his wife.

There are many ways to express love and show someone how much we care for and about them. The list of actions is long and seemingly endless. It goes from big, grand, flashy and expensive gestures to something as simple as holding the door for someone else.

It really does not matter how someone shows love for another person; what truly matters is that someone takes the time to actually do it. One may argue that the smallest gestures mean the most because they are often the most personal and show that the other person is paying attention and responding to the specific situation.

In a clip posted on social media, a husband responded to the situation when he noticed his wife had experienced a challenging day. He can tell her mood and that her day could have gone better.  However, instead of waiting for direction, he saw a need, took the initiative and acted, knowing exactly what would make her feel better.

So, wanting to cheer her up and brighten her day a little, he brought out his guitar and began strumming and singing along. A big smile came across her face within seconds, after the first couple of notes were played. He had already made her feel that much better, even before he started singing to her.

That was a beautiful and heartwarming act of love. The husband knew that his wife was not feeling great, and so he did what he could to make her feel a little better.

Genesis 2:24 “For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh.”

The Greek word *nikao* means “to conquer, to overcome.” Through Christ, you’re already walking in victory. 📖 1 John 5:4 (KJV) – “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 📖 Romans 8:37 (KJV) – “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” 📖 John 16:33 (KJV) – “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” You’re not fighting for victory — you’re standing in the victory Jesus already won. ▶ Watch more Biblical Recovery & encouragement: https://www.youtube.com/@InSpirationalenlightment 📖 Read *In Christ*: The 12 Step Biblical Recovery Program on Amazon

The reaction of two parents to their daughter’s pregnancy news will melt your heart. Be sure to grab the tissues before watching this clip because you will most definitely need them. Watch the short but tear-jerking clip to see how a mother and a father reacted to learning about their daughter’s pregnancy news.

Being a parent is easily one of life’s biggest blessings. Many would argue, and I think rightfully so, that it is, in fact, the biggest. There is nothing like raising children and watching them grow, learn and explore. Seeing them take their first step or hear them say their first word are moments you’ll never forget and cherish for as long as you live.

However, as great as being a parent is, sadly, there are some people who want nothing more than to be a mother or a father, and it’s not possible. For one reason or another, having biological children is not in the cards for some couples, which can be incredibly painful and heartbreaking.

A clip posted on YouTube shows what happened after two people learned they were going to be grandparents. Watching these two open their gift and slowly realizing what the present symbolizes is everything.  Their honest and emotional reaction will likely bring even the most stoic and unemotional person to tears.

The text in the video mentions that the couple’s daughter had struggled with infertility for more than a decade, 13 years to be exact.

You can see how happy they are for their daughter and to be grandparents. It’s clear that they wanted their daughter to become a parent so badly, even when it appeared that it would not happen for her.

This is a beautiful moment that none of them will ever forget!

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

He did not want to be recorded, but then the sweetest, most tear-jerking moment occurred. The young man made his desire not to be filmed completely clear to his mother, but what happened next will likely cause you to brush away tears from your eyes. Watch the short but sweet clip to see the young man’s initial response to the camera and how his mood quickly changes.

Technological advancements have impacted and touched every part of our lives. With a few clicks and swipes, we can order a meal or even a week’s worth of groceries. Social media platforms allow us to easily communicate with people on the other side of the country and the world. News apps provide us with the latest, most up-to-date information possible.

Oh, technology also allows us to capture and record our every waking moment if we want. For some reason, there are people who choose to do just that and post the footage on social media for all to see. What would some people do if they didn’t have social media to post their entire lives on for their digital friends?

In a clip posted on social media, a young man approaches a car and sees his mother filming him. He does not want to be on camera (I can completely understand), and his hands in front of his face make that entirely clear. However, his annoyance instantly subsides once he gets in the car and looks into the backseat.

The young man’s older brother, who has been away at college for the past couple of weeks, pops up to ask, “How was practice?”

The young man leaps into the backseat, into his brother’s arms. To make the moment even more precious, the younger brother begins crying, happy that his brother has returned home for a visit.

Hilariously, the video ends with the young man asking his older brother, “Want to play some Fortnite?”

Proverbs 17:17 “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”

An unexpected marathon moment showed true kindness in action. The move, which no one saw coming, will restore your faith in humanity, at least momentarily anyway. Watch the short but powerful clip to see what happened between a marathon runner and a spectator that will inspire and uplift you, and leave you feeling a little bit better about the world.

The world is a sad, cold, cruel and frightening place. This is far too true, and we see evidence and examples nearly everywhere we look. Turn on any evening news broadcast – local or national – and you’ll see story after story of people being incredibly horrible to one another for no reason at all. Log onto social media, and you’ll also see this kind of treatment. Cruel, cold, sarcastic and vile comments and replies fill those popular platforms.

Sin has destroyed and ruined this world. But occasionally, we see glimpses and small, tiny examples showing us that maybe not everything is lost. Perhaps not everyone is as uncaring, cruel and downright horrible as the 24-hour news channels and social media would lead us to believe. That’s precisely what happened in a clip posted on social media.

One man was participating in the Berlin Marathon in Germany when disaster struck. His right shoe came apart, and he was still determined to finish the race, but just with one less shoe. However, as he removed his shoe and was about to continue running, a spectator unexpectedly stepped forward and offered the man one of his shoes. They shook hands, exchanged phone numbers and the runner went on his way.

However, other people stopped the kind and generous act between the two men, and people literally started cheering as the man with two different shoes ran by them.

Kindness can happen anywhere, and even the tiniest act can bring a little hope to this lost and broken world.

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.”

What happens when searching for spiritual truth leads you into darkness instead of light? This powerful testimony shares the journey from New Age deception and demonic attacks to freedom, peace, and victory in Jesus Christ. 🙌 After years of seeking, surrender brought a life-changing encounter with the love of Jesus—a love stronger than fear, stronger than lies, stronger than the enemy’s attacks. If you’ve ever felt stuck, deceived, or under spiritual attack, this story is for you. You don’t have to be a casualty of Satan’s lies. In Christ, you can walk in truth, live in victory, and discover the eternal value of your soul. ✝️️

A bride and groom were stunned when their guests broke out into a "Stand by Me" performance. Neither of them had any idea what was happening or why. Watch the short but sweet clip to hear the wedding guests sing "Stand by Me" and see the shocked expressions from the bride and groom.

Weddings are beautiful, life-changing ceremonies. They are the joining together of two people who vow to remain with one another for the rest of their lives, regardless of what life may throw at them. The moments and memories created on a couple's wedding day will be remembered and looked back upon fondly for years to come. What could be more beautiful than a wedding?

In addition to being beautiful and emotional ceremonies, weddings are often very organized, thoroughly planned and thought-out. Typically, every possible detail and item is meticulously and carefully accounted for and considered. That's why couples will allow for a year's gap between getting engaged and getting married. They want every detail to be perfect for their big day, and why not? Weddings are important and should be given the care and thought they deserve.

However, a clip posted on YouTube shows a special, heartwarming moment that neither the bride nor the groom had planned. In the video, the bride and groom sit at the front of the room when someone unexpectedly stands up and begins singing. The look on the couple's faces made it abundantly clear that neither of them had the slightest clue about what was happening. But they both went with it, letting the moment happen.

Then, slowly, more guests stood and joined in on the performance. Soon, a handful of guests were singing the beautiful, timeless love song "Stand by Me."

That is a moment they will remember for the rest of their lives.

Genesis 2:24 "For this cause will a man go away from his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they will be one flesh."

An “angel” bus driver’s kindness and love for a grieving student will touch you. The woman went out of her way to comfort a young man who had suffered loss. Watch the short but powerful clip to learn about this loving, kind, empathetic school bus driver.

Unfortunately, bad things do happen. Not every situation will be rainbows and roses, filled with happiness and joy. It is impossible to go through life without experiencing immense pain, hurt and sorrow. Sadly, those instances find their way to us all at one time or another, and, to make things even worse, they are often unavoidable.

Even the youngest, most vulnerable and innocent among us, children, are not spared from these moments of pain and heartache. Life is not fair, even when it comes to young children who should be able to go through childhood without a care in the world. A clip posted on YouTube explains the massive loss one young man suffered and what a school bus driver did when she knew he was hurting.

Anne Marie Torregrossa, a long-time bus driver, sees her position as more than just a job; it is a calling. She does what she can to make those who ride her bus feel special and loved, including 8-year-old Jack Monterecy. Jack has been riding Anne’s bus for several years now, and every morning on their way to school, the bus would pass by Jack’s grandfather’s house. Without fail, Jack’s grandfather would be out, standing at the end of his driveway to greet Jack and the bus as it drove by.

Sadly, Jack’s grandfather unexpectedly passed away. It was a devastating loss, for sure. To show Jack and his family love during their grieving time, Anne attended the funeral and also made Jack her special assistant on the bus. Jack understood what Anne was trying to do with the new, special designation.

“She was making me be better,” Jack said.

“I try to make a difference in a child’s life, and if I know I did that, I know I did my job,” Anne said.

Not only has she made a difference in Jack’s life, but his family’s as well.

“It’s not that she’s an amazing bus driver,” Jonathan Monterecy, Jack’s father, said. “She’s an amazing person. She’s an angel sent from heaven in a bus-shaped cloud.”

Philippians 2:4 “Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.”

A landlord walked a tenant down the aisle in a beautiful wedding moment. Be sure to grab the tissues before checking out this story because it'll likely cause your eyes to spring a leak. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to hear why a landlord gave a tenant away at her wedding.

Every couple's wedding day is a massive step. Those two people stand at an altar in front of God, their family and their friends and vow to remain together regardless of what life may throw at them. They promise each other that only death will separate them. What could be more beautiful than that?

Weddings are beautiful ceremonies, meant to be remembered and cherished for years to come. Those pictures and videos captured that day will be looked back upon fondly decades later. Nearly every aspect and moment of a wedding ceremony is significant and carries special meaning. In a clip posted on YouTube, a bride explains why she involved an unexpected individual during an important moment during her wedding.

Shacole Fox was set to get married, and everything was perfect. However, something was missing. She explains that she did not know her father, so she was unsure who would walk her down the aisle. The video explains that it became incredibly painful when she thought about that moment.

But then something unexpectedly beautiful and loving happened. Her landlord, 79-year-old Gil Pulliam, said he had an idea that Shacole was stressing out about that moment during her upcoming wedding. So, he asked if he could escort her down the aisle. Shacole responded immediately and enthusiastically, "Yes."

Shacole recalls that moment when Gil walked her down the aisle, saying it was "like a wound had been healed in her heart."

What an absolutely wonderful, beautiful and touching moment. I'm not sure anything will if that doesn't move you to tears.

Galatians 6:10 "So then, as we have the chance, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are of the family of the faith."

Robert Irwin visited his late father Steve Irwin’s Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He was visiting Los Angeles when he made a detour to the popular tourist spot, checking out his dad’s star on the sidewalk in Hollywood. Watch the short but heartwarming clip to see Robert visit Steve Irwin’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

California is easily one of the most beautiful states in the country. There is literally every kind of landscape and climate. You can be up in the snow-covered mountains one hour and down in the hot and humid desert the next. There is countryside for those who prefer more rural settings, and massive cities for those who adore big, bustling, highly populated areas.

However, while California is a tourist destination for many, and deservedly so, Los Angeles is arguably the most popular city in the Golden State. It’s the city where many of your favorite films and television shows are produced, home to the massive Hollywood sign and it sits along the Pacific Ocean. However, the most popular attraction in LA is the Hollywood Walk of Fame. There you’ll find some of the biggest names in entertainment up and down the sidewalk, including Steve Irwin.

In a clip posted on social media, Robert stopped to check out his father’s star. He mentions that he had just gotten into town for “Dancing with the Stars.” It was a powerful and moving moment.

“Look who I found,” Robert says as he kneels by his late father’s star. “How cool is that? That’s so awesome! That’s so cool.”

That’s something that Robert and the rest of his family can always visit whenever they happen to be in Los Angeles. As Robert says in the video, how cool is that?

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”

A young man’s reaction to unexpected kindness from a stranger will melt your heart. He had no idea what was about to happen, but the look on his face clearly shows that he absolutely loved it. Watch the short but unbelievably sweet clip to see what the stranger did and how the young man responded.

Several things in this world will forever and always be in short supply. For starters, time is our most precious and invaluable commodity. It is constantly fleeting and disappearing. Once gone, not one second or minute can ever be recovered. We can never have too much time, and whenever you lose a loved one, you quickly and sadly realize this to be all too true.

On a much happier and upbeat note, kindness is another thing that we can never have enough of. While there are many kind and caring people in the world, there is and always will be room for more. A clip posted on YouTube captures one of these unexpected acts of kindness and how it made a young man’s day, possibly his week and entire month.

In the video, it’s explained that a young man, Bleu, has cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair. The child was celebrating his birthday at an ice rink, and he told someone how much he would love to go out on the ice and skate around. Well, a stranger overheard the young man expressing his desire to go out on the ice, and that’s when something unexpected but unbelievably heartwarming and touching happened.

Instead of listening and forgetting about the child’s comments, a stranger asked to take Bleu out on the ice. The clip captures the moment when the young man is taken out onto the ice and the pure joy and happiness on the youngster’s face.

His reaction is enough to cause even the most stoic, unemotional person to shed a tear or two.

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 man in his 90s proves that it’s never too late to chase a dream. Even at his advanced age, he pursued and achieved something that he had always wanted to do. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear what this man did despite being in his 90s.

Time is nothing that can be paused, stopped or reversed. As much as people may want to, it’s simply not possible. Since time keeps marching forward, aging is a natural and continual process that no one can stop or slow (despite beauty products promising to reverse aging). We are getting a little older with every second, minute, hour and day.

Since aging isn’t something we can control, shouldn’t we try to enjoy it? No amount of worrying will add any further time to our lives. I mean, what other option do we have? We should appreciate and take advantage of the time the Lord has given us on Earth and not be worried about our age or how it may impact us.

A clip posted on YouTube tells the story of 97-year-old John Toomey. John, who owns a barbecue restaurant, still comes to work every single day without fail. The video shows the elderly business owner making his rounds in the restaurant, checking on everything and greeting his employees.

The video mentions that John had always wanted to own a barbecue restaurant. It was a dream of his, but it wasn’t until he was 93 years old that he finally became the proud owner of the joint that serves some truly delicious food, as pointed out by the restaurant’s loyal customers.

He didn’t let his age prevent him from doing something that he had always wanted to do. Now, he says that owning the restaurant and coming in every day has been good for him.

“Yes, it gives me an interest and something to do,” John said.

What is something that you’ve always wanted to do, but have things like your age hold you back?

Psalm 71:9 “Do not give me up when I am old; be my help even when my strength is gone.”
