Blind 11-Year-Old Shatters Stereotypes With Skateboarding Skills

Ryan Kennedy, a blind 11-year-old, is shattering stereotypes with his skateboarding skills. This is a truly inspiring story!

The video begins by showing a confident young boy skateboarding with an instructor at an indoor skatepark. Ryan Kennedy shares that he likes to go fast, and he gets a big smile when he lands a trick. Ryan perseveres, even if he falls off of his board. He has been skating for two years in Fairfield, New Jersey, at Shred Co. 

Evan is Ryan’s instructor. He shares about what Ryan has been like as a student. Ryan’s mother, Carly, says that he is a twin and was born prematurely, leading to his sight impairment. 

Carly was initially scared of allowing Ryan to try skateboarding, but she took the step bravely. He has thrived at the sport. Ryan’s instructor shares that he has not previously seen tricks done, so he is learning from scratch. 

Ryan has advanced to using a cane instead of assistance from the instructor. Ryan says, “I feel really proud when I land a trick with my cane.” 

You can see the pure happiness on Ryan’s face as he does what he loves.

This video is inspiring. It provides hope and encouragement to us that we can be brave and try new things, too. It also shows us not to eliminate people due to disabilities. Sometimes, you just need a little creativity.

Jesus made ways for people who had challenges in life. He gave them the necessary hope that He was the Savior and also that He was with them. God has made everyone unique, and I love how this young boy has taken his hardship and turned it into a testimony of hard work and inspiration for others.

“Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:8-9

Woman Wakes from 5-Year Coma Thanks to a Miracle and a Mother's Love

In the heart of Grand Rapids lies a tale woven with threads of love for Jennifer Flewellen. This woman wakes from a 5-year coma thanks to a miracle and her mother’s love. Filled with resilience and an unwavering belief in miracles this story transcends the ordinary, a narrative of a mother's devotion and a daughter's tenacity, illuminated by the beacon of hope and perseverance.

The heart of a trying ordeal lies the unwavering resolve of a mother, Peggy Means. This woman refused to surrender her faith, even when faced with the darkest of shadows. Jennifer Flewellen's life took a sharp turn at 35, her world upended by a devastating car accident that left her in a medically induced coma after a collision with a pole, moments after dropping her three boys off at school.

Placed on life support, doctors painted a grim picture, advising Peggy to consider the unimaginable. But Peggy, fueled by a mother's love that knows no bounds, stood resolute, defying the whispers of doubt that permeated the hospital halls. "We have no room for negativity," she declared, a beacon of hope in a sea of uncertainty despite the fact that less than 3 percent of people ever wake up from comas like Jennifer’s. 

As days stretched into weeks and weeks into years, Peggy's devotion remained unwavering. Juggling the demands of her own life, she tirelessly advocated for Jennifer's care, battling insurance woes, navigating bureaucratic red tape, and pouring every ounce of her being into her daughter's well-being.

A Mother Refuses To Give Up

Despite Jennifer's unresponsive state, Peggy refused to let her slip away into oblivion. “I remember one respiratory nurse, she told me, ‘Well, you know, she’ll only get worse,’ and I told her, ‘Don’t you ever say that to me again, and never say it around my daughter,'” Peggy said. “I’d say, ‘It’s very easy to be negative, but we have no room for negativity.'”

With tender care and boundless love, she created moments of solace for her daughter—spa days, conversations recounting the progress of her sons, and the simple act of being present, day after day, unwavering in her resolve.

Then, a glimmer of hope pierced the darkness. Five years after the accident, amidst a sunny moment outside the hospital, Jennifer laughed. “I started to wheel her up to the building,” Peggy said, being scared at first, “and then I thought, she’s laughing, so I stopped and got my phone out.

It was a momentous breakthrough, confirming what Peggy had fervently believed all along—her daughter was still there, fighting to emerge from the depths of her coma.

With each passing day, Peggy's determination only grew stronger. Organizing therapies, advocating for surgeries, and pushing boundaries, she became the driving force behind Jennifer's remarkable recovery. 

Today, as Jennifer embraces a new chapter in her life, surrounded by the love of family and the unwavering support of her mother, their story serves as a testament to the power of faith, love, and resilience. Through the darkest of nights, Peggy's unwavering belief in miracles never faltered—a beacon of hope guiding her daughter back to the light. In that moment, hope blossomed anew, a testament to the indomitable power of a mother's love.

In Jennifer's laughter, in her every step toward healing, we find irrefutable proof of the potency of prayer and the resilience of the human soul. Hers is a story of triumph over adversity, a testament to the enduring bond between mother and child, and a reminder that even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds, hope prevails. Praise God!

1 Corinthians 13:7 “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

Rebecca St. James Reveals When She Learned She Was Loved And Enough Because Of God

Christian music singer Rebecca St. James revealed when she learned she was loved and enough because of God.

The world is a dying place filled with lost, hurting and struggling people. These individuals seek something to give them hope and someone to show them love and kindness. Sadly, many of these lost souls refuse to turn to God and seek His forgiveness and love. They believe, for whatever reason, themselves to be unworthy of God’s love. 

Unfortunately, many people feel this way. They believe they must first clean themselves up or change their ways before coming to Him. Others are also under the wrong impression that they must do something to earn God’s love and forgiveness. In their mind, they must do this, this or that before they are worthy or enough for God. 

In a clip posted on social media, Rebecca St. James discusses the moment she learned she was enough for God because of Him in a conversation with Candace Cameron Bure.

“I really had to sift through my identity and my value,” Rebecca said. “Like, I had a counselor tell me once, ‘Rebecca, you can sit in a room and say nothing to somebody else in the room, but just your presence and who God has made you to be is a gift.’”

Later in the clip, the popular singer admitted that she was in the habit of thinking that she must always be doing something to gain God’s love. 

Following Rebecca’s revelation, Candace became emotional. With tears in her eyes, she concurred with Rebecca’s feeling of not believing herself to be enough without performing or doing something. 

God’s love and forgiveness are gifts. There is nothing anyone could ever do to earn it. Even when we were still sinners, Christ went to the cross and died for each one of us. 

Jeremiah 31:3 “The Lord appeared of old to me, saying, ‘I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee.’”

Homeless Man's Life Transformed By Unconditional Love Of A Dog

In this sweet story, a homeless man’s life is transformed by the unconditional love of a dog. 

In Paris, France, a husky's owner, Thibault, narrates how his dog changed someone’s life. 

The video begins with Sora, his dog, running towards a man named Bruno. Thibault states, “Sora can tell where Bruno is from hundreds of feet away.” We then see Sora waiting by Bruno’s tent. The two have a close relationship. 

How did these two meet? Bruno, a homeless man, has a tent on a street corner. Thibault and Sora were on a walk, and as they walked near Bruno, Sora sat down right in front of him. She then jumped into Bruno’s arms. 

After that day, Thibault would bring Bruno coffee and a croissant, chat with him, and ask him if he needed anything. “Sometimes he’d ask for a little bit of money, and I would happily give him some,” he said

Thibault started posting videos on TikTok and eventually started a donation page, which received over €5,000 euros. He then shares the good news with Bruno, who thanks him profusely. 

Two months later, Sora and Thibault are on a walk. They have not seen Bruno for a while but see him in a sleeping bag on the street. “Thibault, I never had access to the money because I don’t have a passport,” Bruno tells Thibault. 

In France, you can’t withdraw money without an active passport, even though you can open an account with a photocopy of an old one. So Bruno was never able to access his money. Thibault would help him get a passport. 

Thibault tells Bruno he can stay with him, but he declines. Thibault gives him a tent, but when he returns to tell him the passport is ready, he finds him cold and weak. This time, he took him home where it was warm.

We then see clips of Bruno at home with Thibault and Sora. Enjoying life. Playing with Sora with a smile on his face. 

In the next clip, we see them going to the bank and getting the money for Bruno. He will also go buy a phone. “I have all the cards to sort out my life,” Bruno says.

At the end of the video, we see Bruno going to a nice hotel room. “New start!” he says with a big smile on his face. 

Because Bruno smiled and was friendly to Sora, everything got better for him. 

Thibault comments, “My dog and a stranger taught me the biggest life lesson. If not for Sora, I might have walked by Bruno a dozen times without looking at him.” 

Sora’s love for a human being changed lives! 

Restaurant Owner's Compassionate Journey To Fulfill A Dying Woman's Wish

A restaurant owner traveled hours to fulfill a dying woman’s last wish.

Showing others love, kindness and compassion doesn’t require talent, skill or a unique ability. Everyone is perfectly capable of treating other people in such a way. The only prerequisites and requirements needed to act lovingly and kindly towards others are a little effort, time and concern. 

Showing kindness and love is precisely what Kevin Cherry, the owner of Mama Kwan’s, a North Carolina restaurant, did for Heather Bowers. Heather had been fighting cancer for three years and was nearing the end of her battle. She wanted one last meal from her favorite restaurant. 

Heather’s best friend, Mary Simmons, knew it was a longshot request since Heather lived in West Virginia, hours from the restaurant. She reached out to the restaurant and later got a call back saying that the restaurant’s owner was already on his way.

According to the clip posted on YouTube, Kevin drove six hours and crossed state lines to deliver Heather a meal from her favorite restaurant. 

Knowing he was likely delivering a woman’s last meal was an emotional trip for Kevin. However, he understood he couldn’t go into the house in tears. 

“About halfway up, I had a, I turned the radio off and had to talk to myself, of saying, ‘You can’t walk in here like this. You’ve got to walk in with, like, a little bit of sunshine from the Outer Banks.”

The clip adds that Heather sadly passed away the night after Kevin’s delivery. 

What a beautiful display of love and kindness. How much better would our world be if we treated each other just a little better? What would happen if we took some of our focus off ourselves and were more concerned about others? 

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.”

Cancer Survivor Celebrates Opening Day With Dream Baseball Game Experience

A young cancer survivor achieved his dream and celebrated Major League Baseball’s opening day with a dream experience with the Philadelphia Phillies.

Cancer, in any and every form, is a horrible disease. It does nothing but hurt and destroy. Hearing that you or a loved one has been diagnosed with cancer is a massive punch to the gut, immediately knocking out all the wind in your system. It’s a life-changing diagnosis for everyone involved.

However, for those who successfully come out on the other side, there is nothing like defeating cancer. A clip posted on TikTok shows one young man who had brain cancer and has the battle scars to prove it, diligently working toward a goal.

The short clip begins with the little guy approaching the man with the camera to ask if he wants to purchase a glass of lemonade for a dollar. The videographer soon learns about Sam’s recent cancer battle. 

Sam, the little boy in the video, hopes to earn enough money to buy opening-day tickets to see the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies are Sam’s favorite baseball team. He recently had brain cancer, but he now says that he’s “good.” He says he has been able to remain so strong thanks in large part to his team of doctors.

Sam’s interaction with that customer ends in a way he never saw coming. He is given $1,000 cash and handed a letter from Major League Baseball. Sam reads the letter out loud and learns that his dream of going to see the Phillies on opening day is about to become a reality. 

But it gets even better than that. 

Major League Baseball invites the young to the game and says he will get the opportunity to meet some of the players and walk on the field before the game.

The tear-jerking clip ends with Sam on the field interacting with members of the Philadelphia Phillies. 

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.”

Trusting in God's Perfect Timing

Hi there, welcome back to another episode of our podcast, The Heart of a Trailblazer! ! I'm super excited to have the opportunity to share with you WISDOM MOMENTS. I'm Elaine Benson, your guide on this journey of wisdom and encouragement.

Robert Irwin Praises His Mother's Resilience And Strength After Father's Passing

Robert Irwin, who is the son of the late Steve Irwin, praised his mother’s strength and resilience following his father’s passing.

Steve Irwin was a beloved conservationist who earned legions of fans due to his infectious, upbeat personality and interactions with strange and odd-looking animals. His television program “The Crocodile Hunter” was a success specifically because of the show’s host.

Sadly, though, Steve passed away in 2006 after being stung by a stingray. Millions mourned his untimely death. Steve left a wife, Terri, and two small children, Robert and Bindi, behind. 

Losing a loved one is always an awful and heartbreaking experience, especially when it is a father of two small children. In a recent podcast appearance, Robert praised his mother for her strength and resiliency following his father’s passing. He said that since he has gotten older, he has come to understand what his mother did for him and his sister while undergoing such pain and heartache.

“And through everything, she had this stoic, sharp-as-a-tack determination within the business to keep what Dad felt most passionate about alive,” he said. “And then at the same time, 100, I’m not talking 90%, I’m talking 100% of the time was there for Bindi and I. That was always the biggest priority.”

Robert went on to call his mother “the most influential human being” in his life.

In a comment on the clip posted on Instagram, Robert’s mother, Terri, responded to her son's kind and loving words.

“Thank you, Robert, for your thoughtful and moving words,” she wrote. “You and Bindi have always been the joy of my life. I love you more than words can express.”

It appears that God has blessed Robert and his sister Bindi with a kind, loving, strong and determined mother.

Exodus 201:12 “Give honor to your father and to your mother, so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.”

Carol Burnett Reflects On Her Life And Storied Career

Comedic Legend Carol Burnett, in an interview, reflects on her storied career, her life and some of the lessons she’s learned along the way.

The entertainment world is a difficult, cut-throat business. Everyone wants a career entertaining others. Look at shows like American Idol, America’s Got Talent and The Voice; they never struggle to find contestants. Breaking into and sustaining a long and successful career in entertainment requires talent. 

Carol has talent in spades, as evidenced by her 70-year career in show business. However, while she has appeared in films, on Broadway and on television, she will always be most closely associated with The Carol Burnett Show. 

It’s an iconic program whose skits continue to provide laughter to thousands. Who could watch Harvey Korman and Tim Conway in a skit and not burst out laughing within minutes? 

However, in a clip posted on YouTube, it wasn’t all fun and games for Carol, especially growing up. The clip mentions that Carol’s parents were alcoholics, and she was eventually sent to live with her grandmother in her one-room apartment. 

Carol says that for 21 years, her grandmother slept on a Murphy bed while she made the couch her bed.  

However, while The Carol Burnett Show is iconic for its many classic skits and won dozens of Emmy Awards, not everyone thought it would be a hit. Carol says that one CBS executive said it would only make it 30 episodes. He was more than a little off with his prediction.

Even though she has experienced all kinds of success, Carol has not forgotten about others and encourages them. She says she often gets fan mail from little girls and has even called a few of them out of the blue. 

As she approaches her 91st birthday, Carol hopes her comedy career has helped provide laughter to people when they needed it most.

“There’s a quote, ‘People may forget what you said, forget what you did, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel,’” she said. “So, I’m hoping that I made them feel good at times when they were down; they needed a laugh.”

Proverbs 17:22 “A glad heart makes a healthy body, but a crushed spirit makes the bones dry.”

Lauren Daigle Shares Powerful Gospel Message With Prison Inmates

One of the most talented and popular musicians in Christian music, Lauren Daigle, shared a powerful Gospel message with prison inmates.

The world is a broken place filled with lost, hurting and struggling people. Ever since sin entered the world in the Garden of Eden, it has done nothing but cause death and destruction. Sin and its repercussions have ruined lives and torn apart families. 

Everyone is a sinner. The Bible states that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. However, even while we were still in our sin, God still loved us. He even sent his one and only Son to earth to die on the cross, taking our place and all our sins and shame on Himself. 

That’s how much God loves and still loves sinners and those who have willfully turned away from Him. While God cannot and will not bless and approve sin, He still loves sinners. He constantly reaches out and chases after them. It was that message of God’s enduring love that Lauren shared with a group of female inmates.

In a clip posted on social media, Lauren visited and played for a group of inmates. She also states in the short clip that, surprisingly, one of her favorite places to visit is prison. 

The video shows Lauren putting on a concert for the women. The beautifully written lyrics about God’s unfailing love, mercy and grace moved some women to tears.

But the most powerful moment of the clip happens when Lauren, holding a Bible, tells the women that God still loves them. Yes, God wants all to turn from their sinful ways, but God’s love never ends or fails.

“God yearns for you,” Lauren says. “He yearns for all of us. How amazing is that? ‘God, I see what I’ve done wrong. I definitely turned away from you. I didn’t want anything to do with you. And He says, ‘Don’t worry, that didn’t stop me from loving you.’

Lauren ends her message by telling the inmates that they can have hope and no longer live in sin because of God's grace and enduring love.

“There is hope for your future,” she said. “There is.”

Praise God!

Romans 5:8 “But God has made clear his love to us, in that, when we were still sinners, Christ gave his life for us.”

13-Year-Old Actor And Author With Down Syndrome Captivates And Inspires

A young woman, a 13-year-old actor and author with Down syndrome captivates and inspires.

Life is often not a fair experience. No one will get through this life without knowing the feeling of pain and hurt. There will be instances that leave their mark, leaving us battered and bruised. However, some people seem to encounter and confront more than their fair share of hardships and trials. 

But, despite those trying situations and circumstances, quitting is not an option. In fact, those difficulties can be used for good, making us stronger and propelling us on to bigger and better things. 

Mia Armstrong is an excellent example of this idea. The teenage actor, author and activist with Down syndrome has not let anything hold her back. 

With humor and grace, Mia explains in an interview on CBS Mornings that she believes Down syndrome is her superpower. She also talked about her book, “I am a Masterpiece.”

Mia adds that she wants people to be kind to one another, whether they have a disability or not. 

However, Mia understands that even when people say mean or hurtful things to her, she tries to give them grace and be patient with them because people will sometimes “forget their manners.”

Mia is a lovely, inspiring young woman with a beautiful heart and outlook. It’s clear that Mia also has a wonderful, loving mother. Mia’s mom joined her daughter during the interview segment and called the opportunity to raise a child with Down syndrome a “privilege.”

“It is a privilege to raise a child with Down syndrome,” she said. “Mia has taught our family so much about patience and persistence.”

She also told Mia that she is inspired every day by her because she never gives up, no matter the situation or circumstance. 

Mia is an inspiring young woman who has accomplished so much in her young life. Who knows what she will do next? 

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Judge Frank Caprio's Teary-Eyed Reminder to 'Enjoy Every Minute' Of Life

The kind and caring Judge Frank Caprio of Caught in Providence fame has issued a teary-eyed reminder to “enjoy every minute” of life.

Life is precious and must be protected, cherished and cared for in every possible way. It’s the most fragile and precious gift on earth. No one knows how long they have been given on earth. Nobody knows what the future holds. We aren’t promised tomorrow or even the next hour or minute.  

Likely, everyone believes they have much more time than they actually have left. That’s why being grateful for the time the Lord has given you is so important. It’s important to savor and cherish time with family and friends because you never know when it could be the last. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, the kind judge, with tears in his eyes, reminds us that no one knows what the future holds. All we have is the present moment, and we should cherish every second we have been given. 

Frank correctly mentions that we all take things in life for granted. We often take our health, family, friends and jobs for granted, believing they will always be there. We aren’t nearly as thankful or grateful for them as we should be until we no longer have them.

“I don’t know what the future holds,” he says with tears. “I don’t know. So, I tell you, enjoy every minute of your life.”

In late 2023, Frank revealed that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, according to People

Since he revealed his cancer diagnosis, Frank has posted several videos on YouTube of him reflecting on his life and reminding people to love and care for one another. 

Instead of asking the Lord to do this or that the next time in prayer, spend some extra time thanking Him for what He has given and has done in your life.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 “In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.”

Jeff Foxworthy Shares Powerful Message: 'Do Not Be Ashamed Of The Name Of Jesus Christ'

Legendary comedian Jeff Foxworthy spoke in front of a large crowd and shared a powerful message about not being ashamed of the Gospel or the name of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ can take anything and everything and make something beautiful out of it. It could be the worst situation imaginable, and God can use it for good and the building of the Kingdom. Or it could be a seemingly insignificant, hilariously awkward speaking engagement that can be used to change the lives of others. 

In a clip posted on social media, Jeff mentioned how he was invited to speak at a wild game dinner in his home state of Georgia. Jeff told a friend of his that, for some reason, he believed God was calling him to speak at that event. 

When Jeff got there, it wasn’t exactly what he expected. He made a startling discovery. There was no stage, light or microphone at what turned out to be a goat rope. But thousands of people did show up to hear Jeff speak. 

So, on a makeshift stage, Jeff did some comedy and then talked about Jesus Christ. Years later, God revealed to Jeff how his appearance at the odd gathering made a difference in someone’s life.

While at church, one man informed Jeff that he had attended that event and gave his life to Jesus Christ that night. 

Jeff encouraged the audience to listen to God whenever He speaks to us, pushing us to act and do something for Him.

“So, whatever it is you do in your life, be bold for Him,” Jeff said. “Do not be ashamed of the name of Jesus Christ because He is our only hope.” 

Jeff added that we must be bold for Him because there is a lost and dying world that needs to hear about the love, grace and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.

Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God to salvation to everyone that believes; to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”

Mr. T Explains How His 'Tacky' Shoes Keep His 'Head Toward Heaven'

In an interview, Hollywood actor Mr. T explained how his “tacky” shoes help him keep his “head toward heaven.”

Everyone wants to experience success. It’s only natural and human for someone to want their efforts to succeed; there is nothing wrong with that desire. I mean, no one who goes out into the world hopes and wishes to fail, right? 

But what happens when someone sees their efforts greatly prosper? They usually become wealthy and obtain some level of fame and recognition. This can often lead people to be consumed with money, fame and success. All they want is more, more and more. Nothing is ever enough for this kind of person. 

This person will also forget their humble origins, the people who were with them initially, and the source of their money and success. In an interview, actor Mr. T found a unique way of helping him stay grounded and reminding himself of what matters in life.

Mr. T, who has been around for decades and starred in the beloved show The A-Team, is best known for his catchphrase, “I pity the fool,” and wearing many gaudy gold necklaces. But he explained that it’s his shoes that keep him grounded despite all his success. 

In the clip, the woman interviewing him notices his shoes. She laughs at them and even calls them “tacky.” His response to her question about his shoes was likely not what she expected. 

He stated that those shoes had been in his family for years, and his father and brothers had worn them. He says that the shoes remind him to stay humble, remember where he came from, and not get too proud and consumed with success. 

He also added that his shoes remind him to always think about the true source of his fame and success.

“They keep me level,” he said. “As I said, I want to keep my feet on the ground and my head toward heaven.”

James 4:6 “But he gives more grace. So that the Writings say, God is against the men of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low before him.”

Savannah Guthrie Opens Up To Kelly Clarkson About How Her Faith Has Been A Rock Through Hardship

This video clip is an interview from the Kelly Clarkson Show, with Savannah Guthrie, broadcast journalist, and co-host of The Today Show. In the interview she talks with Kelly about how her faith has been a rock through hardship. 

Her new book called, Mostly What God Does: Reflections On Seeking His Love Everywhere, was recently published. Kelly first asks her what she does to chill, especially since her job on The Today Show is talking about the news. 

“What I try to do is keep it in perspective. I mean I think that’s why, I mean faith has always been important to me but I really lean on it,” Savannah says. “I feel like faith gives me a perspective…”

Kelly then asks Savannah about a time in her life when faith really pulled her out when she was really down. Savannah talks about when her father passed away when she was 16. People would ask her if she still believed in God after that and she says that she remembered thinking, “This is when I need him the most,” which is so true.

When we are going through a difficult time, that is when he need to reach out to God to help us through. We need to depend on him and know he is in control of the whole situation. 

She goes on to talk about how her book is a journey of faith. She says that, “Mostly what God does is love you,” which is a really amazing sentiment. Focusing on God’s love is so important and a reminder of who God truly is. 

You can tell from the video that Savannah is strong in her faith, has learned many lessons about life and God over the years, and is happy to share them with others through her latest book. 

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God.” - 1 John 4:7

Hundreds Come Together To Help Legally Blind Man With Commute

Hundreds of people have come together to help a man who is legally blind with his commute to work.

There will never be too much kindness and love in the world. Given the state and condition of our fallen world and the many hurting and broken people around us, it’s impossible to be too loving, caring and kind. Anyone and everyone can benefit from an unexpected act of kindness and love.

Those acts of kindness and love can and do come in many different shapes, sizes and forms. Kindness and love can be shown in a million different ways. To be kind and show someone the love of Christ, all anyone has to do is spot a need and then act accordingly. However, as Jesus mentioned in Matthew, “The harvest is truly plentiful, but the laborers are few.”

As a video posted on YouTube explains, people in one Arkansas town saw a need and acted. They have shown one man unbelievable kindness and love. 

Bill Moczulewski is a janitor and is dedicated to his job. Bill is also legally blind and unable to drive a car. However, this does not stop Bill from going to work. He would walk five miles every day in all kinds of weather. 

One day, Christy Conrad spotted Bill on his commute to work and offered him a ride. During this ride, Christy learned that her passenger is legally blind and does this same five-mile walk in all types of weather. 

So, to help Bill out, Christ started a Facebook group, hoping to find people to give him a ride to work. The response to the Facebook group was overwhelming. The group has expanded to 1,500 people. 

Bill says now he never has a problem getting a ride. He adds that the person behind the wheel is never the same. It’s always someone different stopping to help Bill.

“There’s a lot of good people in this world, all over the place, you know?” Bill said. 

This all started because one woman was kind enough to pull over and offer a man walking down the street a ride to work. She saw a need and took action. 

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.”
