Entire Gym Erupts In Cheers After Child With Down Syndrome Scores A Basket

A gym of spectators, teammates and opponents showed love and kindness to a young woman with Down syndrome when she scored her first basket.

For a lot of people, sports are a deadly serious subject. They want their team, whether in the high school, collegiate or professional rankings, to perform well. Wins and losses, for the most part, are the only statistic that matters to many fans. Sportsmanship and kindness during the heat of competition often fall by the wayside.

That was not the case during a basketball game between two teams of young women. A video posted on TikTok captures the sweet moment when a young woman with Down syndrome scores a basket – her first – during the game. The young woman’s unbridled joy and how the entire gym of spectators reacts is so heartwarming!

In the video posted by the young woman’s mother, the text explains the situation.“My Girl #24 has Down’s Syndrome & hasn’t scored all season. Score 0-0…she’s up…U GOTTA WATCH!!,” the text reads.

As the video starts, no. 24 is led out onto the floor by one of her teammates. The little girl is placed a few feet away from the basket as another one of her teammates prepares to inbound the ball. 

The basketball eventually finds its way into the hands of the little girl and she shoots several times, desperately trying to put the ball in the basket. This all happens as children on the other team continue to allow the little girl to shoot and try for a basket.

Then, at around the 1:15-minute mark of the clip, no. 24 puts the ball in the basket, sending the entire gym into a frenzy!

What an incredible act of sportsmanship, kindness and love. That’s likely a moment she’ll cherish for the rest of her life.

Colossians 3:12 “Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance.”

A Cappella Group Nashville Music Medics Provide Uplifting Tunes To Hospital Patients

A barbershop quartet, the Nashville Music Medics, who received their training at the Barbershop Harmony Society, don scrubs as they use music to provide hospital patients with happiness and a bit of escapism.

Most of the time, the hospital is never a fun place to visit. The only reason someone would look forward to a trip to the hospital would be to celebrate a birth and cover the newborn in hugs and kisses. At any other time, hospitals are a place most people want to avoid at all costs. 

However, there are times when avoiding a trip to the hospital is not possible. Going to a medical facility, being seen by a doctor and being attended to by a group of dedicated nurses is usually the first step in curing a problem or an ailment. Nevertheless, no one enjoys a stay in the hospital, and they need some cheering up from time to time. 

That’s where the Nashville Music Medics come in, treating patients to the sweet sounds of their a cappella performances. A clip posted on YouTube explains that the men who make up the group come from all walks of life. Some are former military members, salesmen and civil engineers, but no doctors. 

However, despite their diverse backgrounds, the men are brought together by their mission to bring smiles to the faces of those who need it most. 

In addition to singing at hospitals, the guys perform at schools and community groups, the short clip states.

But the Nashville Music Medics are not the only a cappella group singing to bring healing and happiness to others. The video mentions there are 35 music medics in the United States.

What a terrific mission! Who doesn’t want to hear a happy, uplifting tune when they are a little down in the dumps and looking for a reason to smile? 

Ephesians 5:19 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;”

City Workers Help Woman Find Wedding Ring After It Fell In Dumpster

One woman is grateful for the Greenville, South Carolina, employees who went to great lengths to find her wedding ring after it fell into a dumpster.

Weddings are beautiful ceremonies in which two people pledge to stick with one another through life’s ups and downs, through the good and the bad. Of course, everyone knows that in addition to the vows during the ceremony, rings are exchanged. The rings are a sign of that never-ending commitment, becoming valuable and cherished pieces of jewelry because of that significance.

So, when Melanie Harper loses her wedding ring, it’s easy to imagine the terror and dread she must have felt. She was placing trash in a recycle bin when the ring slipped off her finger and into the endless sea of recyclable material. 

“After I didn’t find it, in my head, I imagined that Price is Right game, Plinko,” she said. “And the ring just like plinking down to the bottom.”

Melanie, trying to recover the ring, reached out to the Greenville, South Carolina Department of Public Works. The department’s supervisor had empathy for Melanie. He put himself in her position and then made a decision.

They spilled out the contents of the container all over the parking lot and then began searching through the trash, looking for the lost ring. The odds of ever ringing something so small are minuscule, next to zero, right?

Well, Travis Golden did happen to find the ring!

After the ring was recovered and returned to Melanie, she met up with the men to express her sincere gratitude. 

Praise God for their kind and diligent efforts. That would have been a devastating loss if that ring had been lost forever. 

What a terrific example of how our efforts and hard work can and do directly impact the lives of others.

Proverbs 18:9 “He who does not give his mind to his work is brother to him who makes destruction.”

Runner Stops During Marathon To Rescue Cat

One woman interrupted her run during a marathon to stop and help a cute but frightened member of the furry and four-legged community.

Anyone who has ever run a long-distance race understands the kind of dedication and focus it requires to complete such a run. Runners, especially those training for and running in marathons, refuse to let anything distract them from their goal of finishing the race. They have a single-mindedness, fully focused on crossing the finish line. 

Well, one woman, Sarah, a runner in Chicago, was participating in a marathon and was nearing the end of the long-distance run when something out of the ordinary caught her eye. During an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, she explains how and why she stopped to help a cat in need.

“I was at mile 20, I’m focused on my race, and I remember running into this tunnel,” Sarah said. “I’m like, ‘OK, I have six miles to go. I can get there.’ And I turn to the left, I see this little fluffy cat in a pile of leaves looking terrified. I remember at that moment; it was a split-second decision, and I scooped this little baby up.”

But Sarah went even one step further to help the cat. She walked along the race course, asking spectators who wanted the cat. She found Andrea, one of the spectators along the race path, and took the cat from Sarah.

Andrea said that taking the cat was a split-second decision for her as well. The cat, now known as Casper, has found a loving home with Andrea and her family.

What a loving example of kindness and concern from two women for a member of God’s creation. Sarah could have easily passed the cat and kept running. Also, Andrea could have refused to speak up and take in the animal. But neither did, and a cat now has a home because of their acts of kindness.

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

Elderly Couple Sees A Need In Their Neighborhood And Acts

One couple in an Idaho neighborhood doesn’t let their advanced age keep them from helping others and acting when a need arises or something needs to be done. 

Life is a constant series of unexpected and unforeseen events. As a result, those situations can leave people needing help every now and then. Perhaps the need has something to do with finances, or it may even be a small, seemingly minuscule task that needs to be completed. 

Whatever the need may be – large or small – helping someone out and fulfilling a need can mean the world to others.

A clip posted on YouTube tells the story of two lovely individuals, an elderly couple – JoBeth, 88, and LaVar, who is 90 years old. Unfortunately, JoBeth and LaVar’s neighbors endured one of life’s unexpected events. Their neighbors were forced to confront a series of health issues.

As everyone knows and understands, when health situations or other such issues occur, other tasks fall by the wayside during these times. The focus and energy are on battling that much more pressing situation. 

But that’s when JoBeth and LaVar got to work. Those two sweet and caring individuals lent a hand to their neighbors, helping them with yard work while their neighbors attended to their health emergencies. 

Their neighbor mentioned that LaVar, at 90 years old, bundles up, makes his way outside and clears their driveway whenever it snows. 

But that is not all. LaVar, without being asked, came over and mowed his neighbor’s lawn in the summer.

LaVar’s wife, JoBeth, also helped their neighbors. She took care of their trash cans. She took it upon herself to ensure they got emptied and were always off the street.

For their loving works, LaVar and JoBeth received a basket of goodies when a team of journalists showed up at their house to show them some much-deserved appreciation.

JoBeth was overwhelmed and very appreciative of the unexpected gift.

1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all you do be done in love.”

Sweet Cashier Spots Mom In Distress And Acts

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.”

Secret Santa Surprises Loving Grandmother With Big Monetary Gift

A team of journalists chased after and surprised a loving, caring and generous grandmother with a big gift from Secret Santa.

The holiday season is a time for giving and trying to brighten the lives of others. Everyone enjoys receiving gifts and then ripping them open to discover the package’s contents. However, as the saying goes, giving is much better than receiving. In doing so, we are following God’s example of giving. He gave us His only Son, Jesus Christ.

Lori is a selfless, caring and loving grandmother. As the clip posted on YouTube mentions, she stepped up and took custody of several of her grandchildren amid difficult family situations. Lori has also faithfully worked for a school district, serving and delivering children their food for nearly 30 years.

She is a beloved figure within the school district. 

However, Lori’s nomination letter states, “She has gotten by with so little even though she has worked so hard her entire life.” The letter calls Lori “the least selfish person I know," and someone who "truly cares about those around her.”

But, as the video shows, getting ahold of Lori was not an easy task. She was in the middle of her daily routine, delivering meals to schools. The news team made a handful of stops before they finally caught her.

When they finally caught her, she began crying. She seemed to know what was coming.

The guy on the camera tells her they have a gift for her, but she humbly states she is not deserving. Other people need it more than herself, Lori says.

When Lori eventually opens the box and sees the $10,000 check, she cannot believe her eyes.

“Oh my gosh!” Lori says. “What? Why? Thank you! Thank you so very much. I really appreciate it. Thank you.”

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.’”

Generous Woman Breaks Down In Tears After Receiving Secret Santa Gift

One woman was overwhelmed, breaking down in tears after receiving a visit and gift from Secret Santa.

The Christmas season is when delicious food is consumed, family and friends gather, presents are bought and gifts are exchanged. However some people are less fortunate than others, and the holidays may be a financial struggle. That’s when a little kindness and love can make a difference. It can help brighten someone else's life.

In a clip posted on YouTube, a news team that delivers anonymous gifts during the holiday season visited a woman, a certified nursing assistant named Rose. Rose, as the video states, lives alone. She does not have any children, and her husband passed away two years earlier. She also has gone without heat for two years.

But no matter what hardships she has faced, she remains generous to others. She gives to her patients when they ask and when they are in need. Rose meets the need whenever one arises. She has even given her patients some of her late husband’s clothes. She relies upon the Lord to provide and to meet her own needs.

The original plan was to give Rose a much-needed furnace, but someone had already beat them to the punch. Instead, they went with something else - $2,000 in grocery store gift cards and a $5,000 check.

To say Rose was overwhelmed with the unexpected visit and monetary gift is to put it lightly. 

As the tears fell down her face, Rose was momentarily rendered speechless. 

Despite what she has gone through and goes without, she said that someone else needed the gifts more than her. Someone else was in worse financial shape than herself, Rose said. 

“There’s probably somebody that needs it more,” Rose said. “God really provides for me.”

When she finally decided to accept the generous gift, she thanked her Heavenly Father.

“Thank you, Lord. Thank you,” Rose said.

Proverbs 31:26 “She opens her mouth with wisdom; and the law of kindness is on her tongue.”

‘God Is Good’ Good Samaritan Blesses Strangers In Walmart

A Good Samaritan approached several unsuspecting people shopping in a Walmart store, providing them with financial assistance and hope, as he also informed them about the life and salvation found only in Jesus Christ.

Sadly, the world is full of hurting, struggling and lonely people, and they are all around us. Most people, regardless of their present situation or stage in life, are fighting a battle. Those fights can take many different forms - financial, physical, emotional or spiritual. Because of those hurts, struggles and invisible battles, even the smallest, unexpected display of kindness and care can make a difference.

In a short, 3-minute clip posted on YouTube, a loving and generous man, Zachary Impellicceiri, approached a handful of people in Walmart and surprised them. His generosity left many speechless and even moved some to tears. 

He approached the Walmart shoppers and gave them a choice. He offered them two different colored envelopes.

“I’ve got two envelopes,” he said. “Whatever one you pick, I’ll let you keep what’s inside.”

Understandably, most of the people Zachary approached were apprehensive and unsure, trying to figure out and gauge his motivations. But, for the most part, the individuals played along and tore open the envelopes to find either $50, $100 or even $150.

One man could barely talk but did thank God for his good and unexpected fortune.

“God is good,” the Walmart shopper said. 

He tried to explain how the money would be used to benefit his grandson but was overcome with emotion and had to step away from the camera. 

After the reactions of the unsuspecting shoppers, Zach would ask them a few quick, rapid-fire questions, primarily about how they intended to spend the money. But he would always end his conversations with the person by telling them of Christ. It could be as simple as telling them to “let us be more like the Lord” or that Christ is “our only hope for salvation.”

It was a simple and unexpected act of kindness that started a conversation, which allowed him to spread the message of love and hope of Jesus Christ.

Romans 8:24 “For our salvation is by hope: but hope which is seen is not hope: for who is hoping for what he sees?”

Surrendering to God's Will! Part Six

Surrendering to God's Will! Part Six "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Matthew 6:10 In times of uncertainty, when the road ahead seems foggy, or when we encounter obstacles that shake our faith, let us remember that surrender is not a one-time event but a lifelong journey. It is a continuous process of aligning our will with God's, day by day, moment by moment. It requires us to pause, reflect, and recalibrate our hearts toward His purpose. Each day brings new opportunities for surrender. Take a moment to examine your life and identify areas where you may be holding on tightly to your desires, plans, or ambitions. Ask yourself if there are areas where you have struggled to fully surrender to God's will, where you find it difficult to let go and trust His guidance. Psalm 37:5 says, "Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass." In those moments, breathe deeply and surrender those areas to God in prayer. Ask for His strength to release your grip on control and seek His discernment in aligning your desires with His. Trust that God will faithfully unveil His divine plan for your life as you surrender, stirring purpose and joy within your soul. Dear brethren, surrendering to God's will is not always easy, and it is normal to face resistance within ourselves. But when we choose to surrender, we are met with the abundance of His grace and the peace that surpasses all understanding. In surrender to God's Will, we experience true freedom, unburdened by the weight of our striving and embraced by the boundless love of our Heavenly Father. Amen. Proverbs 16:3 says, "Commit your works to the LORD, and your plans will be achieved." Amen. Prayer for Today! May God's grace illuminate your path, offering reassurance and a sense of unwavering faith at any moment. With each breath, may you feel God's presence surrounding you, empowering you to withstand life's journey with unyielding resolve and endurance. In Jesus' name. Amen. https://maglife.org/

Man Creates One-Of-A-Kind Sensory Friendly Barbershop

One man, a barber, has managed to cut out a unique business by creating and developing a barbershop that specializes in giving children with sensory issues trims.

No two people created by God are the same. All have their own specific set of skills, talents and gifts, ultimately intended to be used to bring glory and honor to His name. Also, everyone has their own fears and needs that are unique to them. Depending on the individual, these needs require a certain level of patience, kindness and understanding.

A video posted on YouTube explains how Billy Dinnerstein, a barber, has been able to use his unique experience growing up to help children with sensory issues. Billy’s barbershop, Your Kind of Cuts, located in New Jersey, specializes in giving haircuts to children with special needs haircuts.

In the clip, Billy explained how his childhood prepared him for a career in and to create a business that provides children with special needs haircuts. 

“I grew up in the foster system, you know?” Billy said. “I had, I was intermingled with a lot of different personalities, and all these strangers, whether I’m going to them or they’re coming to me. And I just, I think I learned a keen sense of, you know, judging characteristics.”

Billy, in the video, describes Your Kind of Cuts as a barbershop that is “sensory-friendly.”

Also, the clip shows Billy exhibiting kindness, patience and understanding as he works with his customers.

One part of the video shows Billy sitting next to one of his young customers, telling them how he operates and is willing to do whatever he can to help them. 

“If you’re nervous, want to cry and scream, go ahead,” Billy says. “But please, try to be brave, right? Because that’s what we’re here trying to do, trying to help you be brave and get a haircut.”

God bless this man and his loving and caring mission.

1 John 4:16 “And we have seen and had faith in the love which God has for us. God is love, and everyone who has love is in God, and God is in him.”

Secret Santa Revisits Mom Of 7 Almost A Decade After First Surprise

A mother of seven children has received two visits from a generous Secret Santa in just under a decade.

Unexpected kindness can change and brighten up someone’s entire day, week and possibly entire year. A simple act of care and kindness can bring hope to someone who is hopeless, augmenting their outlook on life. What may be small and insignificant to one person could mean the world to someone hurting and struggling. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, a woman received a second visit from a Secret Santa and a team of well-intentioned and cheer-spreading journalists. However, the six-and-a-half-minute clip begins with an apology from the mother of seven.

As she wrote in an email, she explained that she had meant to send this apology note for a while. She is sorry, as she mentions, for her lack of camera-ready response and for not making good TV for the group of journalists. 

She goes on to state how much her then-surprised gift of $2,000 helped to alleviate her and her family’s financial struggles at the time. It’s clear from her out-of-the-blue email that she put that money to good use. 

After unexpected correspondence, the team of journalists decided to pay that woman another visit, but this time they gave her an even bigger gift. They presented her with a check for $10,000!

During the second visit, the woman mentions that she and her family are in a much better place in life. Most of her children are out of the house - two are married - and she has recently started a brand-new job. She also goes into detail about how she used that $2,000 gift from years earlier to literally clothe her family.

“So, $2,000 at Christmas was, like, it paid our bills,” she said. “It put gas in the car. It, you know, gave my kids some clothes. Like, it was, I mean, it was just the little things, but it meant so much, but it was big to me.”

She once again expressed her gratitude for that money all those years ago. 

When she unboxed the second check, the one for $10,000, her reaction was much bigger. 

“No way!” she said. “Are you serious? That is amazing!”

Proverbs 11:17 “The man who has mercy will be rewarded, but the cruel man is the cause of trouble to himself.”

Secret Santa Surprises Struggling Dad Of 4 In Walmart Parking Lot

A generous and anonymous donor left a husband and father of four whose family has recently fallen upon hard times literally speechless with a life-changing gift.

Life, at times, is not a fun or fair experience. Difficult and troubling circumstances can and do visit everyone without rhyme or reason. It’s because of these hard, random and seemingly inexplicable situations in life that a little bit of kindness, especially at Christmastime, can make a world of difference. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, a group of journalists has been sent to surprise Evan. Evan is a husband and father of four, as the man with the microphone explains. Evan’s wife has experienced recent health issues, having undergone a procedure to replace a pacemaker. One of Evan and his wife’s children also have autism and epilepsy. But if that weren’t enough, the family has recently experienced issues with the 2011 minivan, making it an unreliable means of transportation. 

But through all the hardships, as the video explains, Evan, who works full-time at Walmart, has been a rock for his family. Not only does he support the family financially, but he is always lending a hand with the kids and is going to school full time as well. 

As the video shows, Evan heads out to the parking lot. He’s initially given a check for $1,000. The faithful, loving husband and father cannot believe his luck that someone would give him that amount of money. 

But when he learns about his new set of wheels, he’s literally left speechless. On multiple occasions throughout the clip, Evan cannot articulate even a little how he feels about this generous and loving gift.

However, near the end of the clip, Evan is finally able to put into words what this means for him and his family, expressing his gratitude. 

“Thank you! This means everything to us,” Evan says as he’s overcome with emotion.

Evan’s genuine and moving response to the gift is enough to move even the most stoic person to tears. 

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.”
