Random Acts Of Kindness

A loving and caring woman is working hard to supply blind and visually impaired children all over the world with braille books.

Reading is, as has been said, fundamental. Without being able to read, one wouldn’t be able to function well in society. Beyond being a necessity, reading has other benefits, including an expanded vocabulary and knowledge. Books and the joy of reading are things all children should be introduced to at an early age. 

However, for those youngsters who are blind or visually impaired, learning braille offers them a chance to enjoy reading and books. But, as one woman, Debra, mentioned during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, books with braille are often expensive. That’s why she created a nonprofit to help put braille books into children’s hands for free. 

“Like way back in 1980, I met a mom whose daughter was blind, and she said they had a hard time getting books for her if they could find them,” Debra said. “They were so expensive, like, $100 to $200 each, Kelly. And that just hurt my heart because my own kids had, you know, you can get books for $2, $3 each. And that’s what kids need, lots and lots of books.”

Because of this conversation and learning about the expensive nature of books with Braille, Debra started Seedlings Braille Books for Children in her basement. The aim of Debra’s organization is simple but very important.

“So I thought I could do something about it, maybe,” Debra said. “I started a small nonprofit in my basement in Detroit called Seedlings Braille Books for Children, making more books available, keeping the prices really low and getting more books in kids’ hands.”

What a terrific mission!  

Debra saw a need, and because of her love and concern, got busy and worked to meet that need, to provide children who have visual impairments with books. 

Proverbs 21:13 “He whose ears are stopped at the cry of the poor, will himself get no answer to his cry for help.”

Keygan is a 19-year-old living in Idaho and has an amazing heart for his community. However, his life is filled with many challenges.

In this video, Nate from East Idaho News starts to tell us a little bit about Keygan. He is one of 12 children, all of whom were adopted, and has what is called Nager Syndrome. This is where he has deformed arms, hands, feet, and facial deformities. He has also had to endure over 75 surgeries. 

Even though he has been through so much he gives back by crocheting blankets and hats for his community. He has been crocheting for nine years now and taught himself to do so online. Very impressive!

In addition to crocheting, he also volunteers at several places around his community such as the family history center, the food pantry, and the hospital.

Nate goes on to say, “He has been through a lot but he gives and gives and gives. And today we want to give back to him.” He then goes to Keygan’s house however he isn’t home and has to come back a few hours later. Keygan was out in the community helping others.

Once he does get home, Nate meets him in the parking lot and asks him a little bit about the crocheting. He then gives Keygan the gift cards, which are from Amazon, and his favorite restaurants Olive Garden or Longhorn.

After Keygan gets the gift cards he says “Thank you so much” several times. He is very excited and thankful that he received the gifts.  

The news received an email for the segment, “Feel Good Friday” in which they talked about Keygan and how he would be the right person to receive the gift because of how much he gives to his community. 

“But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” - Hebrews 13:16 

A woman “struggling” and going through medical issues was overwhelmed and left in tears following comments from a stranger as she left the gym.

Everyone has issues, problems and subjects that can result in discomfort, hurt and humiliation. Human beings are far from perfect. All have their flaws, imperfections and struggles. Some may be more apparent than others, but everyone has something they are fighting and struggling against.

For one woman who posted a video on TikTok, her weight and overall health are issues for her. This is complicated by, as she hints at in the clip, underlying medical issues. However, despite her struggle, she is taking action and making an effort to do something about it. She states she has been in the gym, working out for “a little over two years now.”

But as she was leaving the gym, a stranger’s kind, uplifting and encouraging comment left her in tears. She was overwhelmed by the man’s statement. 

“He goes, ‘I’ve seen you in here every week, almost, almost every day, like seeing you in here every week, and I’m proud of you,”” she said.

She mentioned that the man who spoke those kind words to her was very much into the gym, super fit and in shape. 

Through tears, the young woman stated how much those words meant to her and how big a difference a kind word can make to someone struggling.

“You have no idea how much people that are going through something appreciate the kindness,” she said. “Because he didn’t have to say it. He doesn’t even know what I’m going through. I’ve never talked to anybody in the gym about it, except for the management.”

Kind and uplifting words said to someone may not seem like much, but for someone who is fighting or struggling with an issue or a situation, it can make all the difference.

At the end of the video, the woman said the man’s kind words “made her 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.”

One law enforcement official wasn't going to let an arrest keep one person from enjoying the food they had ordered through DoorDash.

Let’s make things as simple and headache-free as possible. Everyone loves convenience and having things easy. That makes sense, right? No one would want to make things any harder than what was absolutely necessary. 

Because of this desire for convenience, we have streaming movies and television shows. Hulu, Netflix and Disney+ let us watch programs on our time and when most suitable for our schedule. 

This has even impacted how our food is delivered. With a couple of taps on our smartphone, we can get an entire meal delivered to our house in a timely fashion. GrubHub, Uber Eats and DoorDash have become the leaders in the food delivery space. 

However, one person who ordered from DoorDash got quite a surprise when they opened the door. They encountered a sheriff’s deputy carrying their order, according to a video posted on YouTube.

Once the woman opens the door and sees the Illinois sheriff’s deputy, she asks about the status of her DoorDash driver.

“Hi, oh gosh, did my driver get in an accident,” the woman asks.

That’s when the deputy responds and lets her know that the driver is OK but just a little tied at the time.

“No, he got arrested,” the deputy says. “But we wanted to make sure you got your food. So, you guys have a good night.”

The woman is beyond appreciative of the deputy’s kind and thoughtful gesture.

“You guys are amazing,” she says. “Thank you!”

That sheriff's deputy did not have to deliver that order. But he showed kindness and concern for someone else. What a wonderful and heartwarming gesture! 

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

Philadelphia Eagles player Jason Kelce has gotten attention for a move off the field involving a drive-thru and his favorite McDonald’s employee.

As the old saying goes, being kind doesn’t cost anything. But it can sure make a massive difference. In fact, that simple and unexpected act of kindness and love could brighten up someone’s entire day and possibly change their life. Every day, whether we realize it or not, we are given opportunities to show others kindness and love, to be the hands and feet of Christ. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, a McDonald’s employee in Pennsylvania explained how Eagles player Jason Kelce showed her unexpected kindness. Jason, a regular McDonald’s customer, posed for a photo with Danielle Bonham and even signed her Eagles jersey. He did all of this while going through the drive-thru.

But this wasn’t the first time Danielle had served Jason. She explained that her first encounter with Jason happened in July, during a particularly rough time. Danielle was going through a divorce at that point.

During their first meeting, Danielle told him she was a big fan of his and how glad she was to meet him. He responded by saying how happy he was to meet her and asked her about herself.

“He gave me the boost of confidence at that time that I needed,” she said. “Like right place, right time. I’m grateful for him.” 

After that initial meeting, Danielle has served Jason six more times, which includes the instance in which he signed her jersey, according to the video.

Danielle is a lifelong Jason Kelce fan, and not just for what he’s done on the football field.

“Anyone that’s crossed paths with this man is lucky,” she said. 

“He loves the people,” she added. “The stuff that he’s done for this community and the city of Philadelphia, it’s amazing. I wish more people existed in this world like him.”

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.”

Musician and Youtuber Liv Swearingen got emotional and teared up recalling how God allowed her to encounter a struggling mother of five and show the love of Christ to her.

Sadly, many people are hurting and struggling in the world today. They are looking for even the smallest amount of hope or kindness, something that will show them that things can and will get better. Unfortunately, those individuals are everywhere and are all around us. They could be a neighbor, coworker, family member or close friend.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Liv stated how God used her stomach and a craving she had to send her to the grocery store to help someone in need. After picking up the lone ingredient – potatoes – a woman and her daughter approached Liv, asking if she was a YouTuber.  

The woman and Liv got to talking. Eventually, the woman mentioned she and her five children have been enduring a tough time lately. Text in the video reads that the family was about to be evicted from their home. 

Liv then offered to help the woman and her family out and offered to pay for her groceries.

“I just felt the Holy Spirit be, like, ‘Do this.’” Liv said.

Liv adds that they took a photo together and states, with tears rolling down her face, how helping and showing love to others is a requirement for Christians.

“Anyways, Jesus calls us to love,” Liv said. “It is our obligation to help each other.”

Again, people are hurting and struggling everywhere. The mission field is all around us. Wherever we go and whoever we meet is an opportunity to show Christ’s love. That kindness may make a monumental difference in someone’s life. That could be the reason an unbeliever comes to know Christ, all because of our kindness and obedience. 

Galatians 5:13 “Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.”

One kind and caring individual raised nearly $30,000 to help people in Iowa fill up their vehicle’s gas tank.

Life, with all its many twists, turns and uncertainties, can be a difficult and overwhelming experience. Some situations and circumstances can beat people down so badly that they feel like giving up and throwing in the towel. Now, throw in a lack of finances and an inability to pay for crucial goods and services, and that would be enough to push anyone off the edge.

That’s why one man, Rob Johnson, a community activist, raised $28,000. The funds, as the clip posted on YouTube explains, were used to help people fill up their car’s gas tank. 

Rob, in the clip, explained his motivation for being so generous and helping his fellow man.

“We do this because there’s a single mom and a single dad who needs that extra $40 to $100 to get to the next week,” Rob said. “We do this because there’s some pastor who is struggling that you don’t even know about because they never really talk about it openly.”

But Rob wasn’t the only person who was in attendance to help those who may be struggling in silence. The short clip states that 50 volunteers took time out of their day to pump gas for drivers in Iowa.

Unfortunately, everyone faces trials and hardships in life. Those experiences visit everyone at one time or another, they do not discriminate. But those dark valleys can be made much more bearable with kindness and care from others.

Throughout the Bible, followers of Christ are called to love and help one another, to lift each other up in times of stress and discomfort. Helping one another, in some form or fashion, is something that all can and should do.

1 John 3:17 “But if a man has this world’s goods, and sees that his brother is in need, and keeps his heart shut against his brother, how is it possible for the love of God to be in him?”

One young man had his younger brother in tears after an unexpected act of kindness and love involving his birthday cake.

Siblings, especially as children, do not always get along. Everyone has their thoughts, ideas and opinions. These differences can often lead to heated arguments, extended periods of silence and avoidance and even physical altercations. Adults are generally better at handling their differences and disagreements. However, disputes between children can get very emotional very fast.

But as one video shows, one display of emotion was not the result of a fight or a spat but instead because of a birthday cake. The clip posted on YouTube shows two young men standing near a cake. The older of the two children has a knife, obviously seconds away from slicing into the desert.

Moments after the short, 1-minute and 30-second begins, text appears to set up the scenario and what viewers are witnessing.

“Brazilian tradition says the first slice of your birthday cake goes to the person you love the most,” the text reads.

The young man after cutting into the cake attempts to pick up the piece, but it falls, landing on an undisturbed part of the sweet treat. Once that runaway piece of cake finds its way to a plate, then it’s anybody’s guess about who will receive the first piece.

The older brother sets the piece of cake down in front of the young man, exclaiming, “Antonio,” as he does.

Immediately after the older brother announces that his younger sibling gets the first piece, the tears begin flowing. The younger brother, Antonio, cannot contain the emotion. He is overcome with joy, happiness and probably a little surprise that his older brother, someone he looks up to, would select him.

The younger brother turns to his older brother, and they share a warm, loving embrace. 

What a sweet and simple act that meant so much to the little guy. 

Hebrews 13:1 “Go on loving your brothers in the faith.”

What a heartwarming story about the kindness of strangers!

A family of three, mom, dad, and baby Romey, 5 months, were flying on an airplane together. The flight was Romey’s first time on an airplane. During the flight, Romey took a liking to the woman sitting next to them. 

The woman, Meegan, was crocheting during the flight, moving her hands back and forth, over and over again. Romey was mesmerized by the movements and couldn’t stop watching her work. 

Meegan happened to have the same color yarn as the baby’s outfit and she went on to say, “I couldn’t help it. This baby is getting something. Because she’s too cute.” What a great attitude to have about sitting next to a baby on a plane.

When the plane landed, she had finished the hat and gave it to the family and it fit Romey perfectly. The dad stated, “It fit perfectly, as you can tell. And everyone around us started clapping.”

While we aren’t sure how long the flight was, what a talent it is to be able to make a whole hat during the length of a flight. And what a great heart Meegan has to think of making it for the baby. 

Meegan then went on to say, “So I’m definitely going to make Romey a little baby dress, because I love to make baby dresses.” What a sweet thing for her to say. A stranger going out of her way to make something for a sweet baby. We need more of this in the world.

Kindness goes a long way, and sharing love with others makes our world a much better place. Jesus called us to love one another, and Meegan is an example of that. She used her talents to show love to other people. 

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” - John 13:34

One woman in New York City got a big surprise when the kind and generous customers she waited on left her a massive $500 tip.

Kindness can take many different shapes and forms. Whether it be an unexpected word of encouragement, a simple gesture like holding the door for someone or a friendly wave or head nod, that kindness can brighten someone’s day, week or year. 

However, some people may be able to unexpectedly bless others financially. Clair Howell, a waitress in a Manhattan restaurant, was on the receiving end of a $500 tip, according to a video posted on YouTube.

The tip, as the video explains, came on a bill of $232. Clair, in an interview explaining her unexpected and large tip, was beaming.

“I’m just, like, in total shock,” Clair said. “Like, like what? And I’m looking around, and they’re gone, totally gone.”

But the $500 tip wasn’t the only thing written on the bill. The customers had written a message for Clair. It was directions on how she was supposed to spend the $500. 

“GO SEE MERRILLY!” the note read. “SIT IN THE ORCHESTRA!”

Clair said that during the meal, she talked to the customers and asked about their plans. She asked them if they were taking in one of the plays on Broadway. 

They were, in fact, headed to a Broadway play. They were seeing “Merrily We Roll Along.”

Clair, following the directions given to her by the generous customers, went online and bought a ticket to the show that night. The tip covered the price of the ticket and then some. 

Instead of using the money elsewhere, Clair said that she felt she had to follow the guidance from the customers and buy herself a ticket to the show.

There are still kind, generous and thoughtful people in the world. Most, like those who tipped Claire, don’t seek recognition for their kindness either. 

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 sweet and caring Dollar Tree cashier spotted a stressed-out mother and offered her some help.

Children are one of life’s biggest blessings. There is nothing like being a parent and welcoming a new bundle of joy into the home. Children add much joy, happiness and love to a parent’s life. They make life a fuller and richer experience. However, at times, children can and do add stress to life.

Like everyone else, children get tired, cranky and annoyed. However, unlike everyone else, and as every parent knows, children often make it entirely clear when they are tired, cranky and annoyed. Everyone within a mile radius of the children will know their mood. 

That’s what happened to one mother who was shopping in a New Jersey Dollar Tree. The mom’s hands were full as she was trying to check out. To make matters worse, her daughter was upset and in the middle of a meltdown, according to the video posted on TikTok.

The cashier gave the mom a hand. She picked up the young lady and kept her occupied, letting the child scan her mother’s items.

As the cashier holds the child in one arm, she grabs items with the other. The child then focuses all of her attention on moving the item across the scanner. 

The mother was grateful for the cashier’s sweet and caring move of unexpected kindness.

“She instantly changed our moods for the better,” according to the text in the short clip. 

The mother also added that while she never posts such things on social media, she couldn’t help but shine a light on the cashier’s loving move. 

“I never post stuff like this, but I just want this woman to have the world,” the text in the clip reads. “THANK YOU!”

What a simple but sweet and loving move that, at that moment, likely meant the world to a mother with an upset toddler.

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.”

Legendary entertainer Dolly Parton reached out to one of her biggest fans, who is battling cancer, and talked for several minutes and even sang to the sick man.

Showing someone else kindness and love doesn’t cost much. Most of the time, it’s completely free, with the only expense being a few moments of our time. But those moments could mean the world to someone in need. A simple, unexpected act of kindness could put a smile on someone else’s face or change their outlook on life.

Dolly Parton is no stranger to kindness and love. Throughout her career, she has gone out of her way to help her fellow man. Dolly’s talent, as evidenced by a career spanning decades, is recognized and adored by millions. Despite all her success, Dolly has never stopped showing others love, kindness and care.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Dolly calls up and speaks to a Utah man dying of cancer. The man, who is lying down in bed, has a massive smile on his face as he speaks to the “Jolene” singer. 

Dolly begins the call with the sick man by thanking him for what he has done for her.

“Well, LG, I really thank you for shooting out the word that you’d like to talk to me,” Dolly says. “I’m just happy that we got to kind of have our journey together in this lifetime. I always want to make people happy with my music and with the things I do and the things I say. I’m just happy to know that I’ve touched your life in some way. So thank you for honoring me with that.”

The man responds that Dolly and her music have been a “huge help” to him. 

Dolly ends the call by telling the man that she “will always love” him. She then sings her hit song for him, changing the lyrics to include the man’s name. 

Dolly Parton is an absolute class act! 

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.”

Celebrities might be well-known, but they are also still human. In this video Ryan Seacrest gets emotional talking about giving back and helping sick kids.

Ryan runs a foundation with his parents and sister called the Ryan Seacrest Foundation. Although he is known for his incredible hosting skills on television, Ryan also has a heart for sick children. There is a place called Seacrest Studios that is inside of Children’s Hospital. Ryan tears up talking about seeing the challenge on a mom and dad’s face who are walking through their child’s sickness. Ryan shares that a boy told him it was going to be a great Christmas because he “got approved to get new lungs.” Perspective is everything.

A young boy named Payson Inkley comes into the studio and talks for a moment to encourage other kids to make their day better. Ryan gives the boy dressed in a button-down shirt and tie a hug and promotes his skills. 

The child beams with excitement. Ryan then reveals that he is going to be the new host for Wheel of Fortune. He is very complimentary of Pat Sajak and shares his excitement to work alongside Vanna White, calling her a “national treasure.” 

Ryan tells of the importance of giving back when you are given some success in life. He desires to help others find happiness, too. 

It is so valuable as believers in Christ to love others well by seeing them, giving your time to them, blessing them financially, and praying for them. Even if we do not have the physical resources that Ryan has, we have our faith in Jesus to come alongside those in need and love them well. 

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” 2 Corinthians 9:7

A young woman’s simple act of kindness and love toward a little boy in a wheelchair resulted in a friendship and changed that child’s life and outlook.

Life can deal some crushing blows and devastating circumstances. It’s not always a fair experience. In fact, life seemingly gives some people more than their fair share of hardships and trials. But our attitude during and following those trying situations can have a massive impact on others.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a woman, Hannah Hutzley, who suffered a catastrophic injury that landed her in a wheelchair, forged a relationship with a child also in a wheelchair. They were able to bond and connect over wheelies in a hardware store.

“Just this little faint whisper of a ‘Hi,’” Hannah said. “So, I look over, and there’s just this sweet little kid, with these little curious eyes, and I was, like, ‘Oh, hi.’ And this is the first time I’ve ever seen a kid in a wheelchair in person. He, like, whispers again to me, ‘Do you know how to do wheelies?’”

Hannah answered the young man, mentioning she knew how to do them. She then began popping wheelies in the middle of the hardware store, much to the sweet young man’s delight.

After the wheelies in the hardware store, Hannah and the young man have gotten ice cream several times. They even have wheelchair races and play “choo-choo train.”

The young man’s dad mentioned that Hannah and her kindness have had a massive impact on the young man. He wants to help around the house and wants to go out and experience life, refusing to let his wheelchair stop him. His father said that his son wants to be just like Hannah.

Later in the interview, Hannah mentioned how the young man has impacted her and changed her perspective on life. 

“It’s, like, you have this really awful terrible thing happen to you, but then you see it in the eyes of a kid. And they just, they don’t see it that way. They just see it as, ‘Oh, cool. You have a wheelchair, you know, you’re like a car. You’re like this toy.’”

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.”

Bible reading

A kind and caring firefighter went above and beyond the call of duty and went out of his way to return a woman’s lost purse to her.

The world is a sad, lonely and broken place. Sin has done nothing but cause damage and destruction. People who are hurting and struggling are all around us, looking and searching for any reason to be hopeful about the future. That’s why a small, simple act of kindness can change someone’s outlook and perspective. 

A clip posted to TikTok shows a small but extraordinary act of kindness where an off-duty firefighter drove over an hour to reunite a woman with her purse, according to Sunny Skyz.

In the black and white Ring video, the man approaches the door and asks if the woman can hear him. She responds, disregarding his question and asks if he has her bag.

The man does have her bag and asks if she is Georgia. 

She is overjoyed at the welcomed and unexpected news.

“I could cry my eyes out. How have you got my bag?” she says.

He then responds that he found it at a gas station. 

The two then go back and forth about where she wants him to place the purse outside her house. 

About halfway through the clip, the firefighter explains what caused him to drive over that night to return the lost item.

“Do you know what? I was going to leave it till tomorrow morning,” he says. “But I remember me ex lost her bag on a night out, and she was under stress. And I just thought, ‘You know what, I’ll just go and drop it off now.’”

The woman is moved by the man’s kindness, honesty and empathy. She is heard either crying or trying to fight back tears. 

But before the clip ends, the woman wants to find somewhere to repay the man for his kind act. She offers to give him some money, asking for his banking information. 

Instead, the man has another idea.

“No, just pay it forward,” he says. “Just do something nice for the next person.”

What a tremendous and heartwarming display of the kindness and honesty that still exists in the 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.”

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, and he spent some time with nearly two dozen children, helping to make their wish and dream a reality.

Sadly, life is not a fair experience. Some people are given more than their fair share of obstacles and hurdles. Not even the youngest and most vulnerable members of society – children – are safe from the sometimes horrifying realities of life. 

Children suffering unimaginable situations and dealing with life-threatening illnesses are near and dear to Dwayne’s heart. That’s why, in a video posted on YouTube, The Rock spent time meeting with and putting smiles on the faces of some youngsters.

For more than 20 children who visited the Universal Studios theme park in Los Angeles, California, their wish was to meet The Rock. One child called herself “his biggest fan.” 

While the children were on tour of the theme park, Dwayne surprised them, joining them on the tour. He interacted with the children, telling jokes, giving them hugs and just putting smiles on their faces.

As the video points out, Dwayne was only expected to spend an hour with the children but ended up doing much more than 60 minutes. He hung out with them for five hours that day. 

But this is far from the first time that The Rock has teamed up with Make-A-Wish to do some good for a group of deserving kids. As the video mentions, Dwayne has worked with them for more than two decades.

“These are kids and the cards that they are dealt. They didn’t ask for it, but they’re playing these hands as best they can,” he said. “You know, I’m getting emotional. These kids are so strong.”

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is a big man who has starred in some of the biggest blockbusters of recent memory. It’s clear from his touching displays of love and kindness that this big man has a big heart. 

Philippians 2:4 “Not looking everyone to his private good, but keeping in mind the things of others.”

A family of five from Ukraine who were forced to flee their home country due to Russia’s deadly and unprovoked invasion were in tears after receiving gifts from Secret Santa.

Christmas is the season for giving and brightening someone else’s life with kindness and love. Americans, by and large, have been blessed. However, other people around the world may not be as fortunate as the average American. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, a loving and beautiful family of five from Ukraine was surprised by a gift from Secret Santa. He gave the family thousands of dollars for food and clothing. 

Valera, Galina and their three children made their way to the United States after their home was destroyed during Russia’s invasion of their country. Their home and all their possessions were demolished by a Russian tank, according to the clip.

The clip’s description states that the family had many friends and relatives killed in Russia’s invasion of their small country. 

With the help of a translator, the family expressed their sincere appreciation and gratitude for the gifts. Galina, the wife and mother, a nurse in her native Ukraine, was overwhelmed by the generosity. Throughout the clip, she continuously wiped and brushed away the tears from her eyes. 

In addition to expressing their gratitude for the gifts, the family was also thrilled to be in the United States of America, away from the deadly fighting. 

“It’s good here,” Galina said. “It’s quiet, and it’s peaceful.”

She added: “And here, there are no rockets flying, so that’s a great part of it.”

But before the clip ended, the journalists were treated to a musical performance from one of the family’s three children. The young man put his skills on the accordion on full display.

Luke 6:38 “Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again.”

Two gifted musicians, Mat and Savanna Shaw, unexpectedly showed up at a woman’s door who lost her husband to cancer and treated her to a sweet, emotional performance.

Life can deliver some crushing body blows. These devastating and unforeseen circumstances can knock people down and change their world in an instant. But, during these times of hurt and pain, a little unexpected kindness can uplift and encourage someone struggling. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Mat and Savanna Shaw, along with a team of journalists, surprised Martha at her house. Martha, a music teacher, lost her husband to cancer. Mat and Savanna wanted to support her and show her some love during this trying time. 

Martha could not believe who had darkened her doorstep. 

“You’re Mat and Savanna Shaw!” Martha says.

Then it’s hugs all around, as Martha tells the father-daughter duo how much she loves and appreciates their music.

Later, Matt explained that he had heard about Martha's willingness to volunteer and the recent loss of her husband and offered her his condolences.

“And then we heard about the loss of your husband recently,” Mat said. “I’m so, so sorry to hear about that.”

Mat added that Martha had inspired him, and he and Savanna wanted “to come by and visit for a minute.”

Later in the clip, they move into another room, stopping near a piano. Mat and Savanna treat Martha to her own, private concert. But the song they chose to sing is not just any song, as Mat explained.

“The song that we wanted to sing for you, we were just talking on the way here, it’s really, really special to us,” he said. “Because it’s the song that started this whole crazy music journey for us.”

Martha gets emotional, brushing away tears from her eyes as Mat and Savanna belt out the beautiful lyrics. 

What a wonderful and touching moment for a woman and a family hurting and going through a most difficult time.
