One man and woman on a special mission stopped and shared their touching message with a benevolent and caring judge.

The world can be a sad, cruel and dangerous place. People can be unbelievably mean to one another. But then there are times when people can and will surprise with their kindness and love, seeking nothing in return. Judge Frank Caprio, on Caught in Providence, encountered two kind-hearted people in his courtroom.

A man and a woman appeared before Judge Caprio, not because of a ticket or a fine they received, but to share their message of peace and love with him. 

A man, originally from Iraq, and a woman, born in Israel, who are now American citizens, stepped up to the microphone and talked about their reason for appearing in the courtroom. The woman began by mentioning how grateful they are to live in the United States and for the freedoms the country allows them. 

“We love this country and the freedom I have today, I would never in my country,” she said. “I won’t be able to pray to God and talk to God like I pray to God and talk to God if I didn’t have the chance to come to America and make a life for myself in America.”

She added that because of the freedoms they both enjoy in the United States, they feel compelled to help others.

“And because we want to pay it forward, we love this country so much and what this country gave to us, that we just go around and visit the state, because we are now Americans and we part of this nation, too. And we pray, everywhere we go, we pray for the homeless. We feed the homeless. We pray for people. And we tell people we love this country because it gave us so much. We want to give back,” she said.

She added that they visit sites where devastating and horrific tragedies have happened and pray for the people impacted by those incidents.  

The couple's mission and message touched Judge Caprio. Before the clip ends, he had one request for the couple.

“I would ask, at some point after you leave, if you would remember us in your prayers,” he said. “I would really appreciate that, and I promise, we will pray for you as well.”

2 Corinthians 13:11 “Finally, brothers, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, living in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.”

One infant showed off his startling and shocking aptitude for one musical instrument.

Children are capable of much more than most people give them credit for. The mind of a child is like a sponge. During their formative years, as they explore and experience things for the first time, they absorb a ton of information. That’s why a healthy and loving environment for a child to grow up in is crucial for their development. It can set the tone for the rest of their life. 

However, then there are children who seem to be naturally gifted. Some may come out of the womb being able to do this or that with a surprising level of skill. A video posted to YouTube shows a child, a 17-month-old, who appears to be a virtuoso on the piano.

The child, while sitting on an adult’s lap, tickles the ivories, showing an insane amount of dexterity and skill. The infant uses both hands and multiple fingers to play the keys. 

Even at the child’s young age, he seems to have an understanding of what keys make what sound, where they are and what keys sound best together. It’s startling to see someone so young and obviously gifted play the piano with such skill and confidence. 

Most children that young man’s age would likely use their hands and arms to slam and press down on the keys. Not this guy. Instead, he gently and methodically plays the musical instrument with an astounding level of grace and finesse.

His playing would likely put a lot of other people completely to shame. 

It's kind of mind-boggling to imagine what this child might be able to do on the piano in a year, five years or even further into the future. God has clearly blessed this child with an absurd amount of musical ability.

Proverbs 22:6 “Train a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Tyler Morrell, a pizza delivery driver, trips a suspected car thief running from the cops. 

In this wild video, it was just like any other work day for Tyler, who works as a pizza delivery man for Cocco’s Aston Pizza, was delivering pizza to a customer in a neighborhood. 

When he arrived at the front door of the customer’s house, he was alarmed by screeching tires behind him. The homeowner could be heard stating, “That’s a high-speed chase.” When Tyler turned around, he saw a car drive onto a neighbor's lawn and a man running away from the car. Seconds later, the police arrive to try and apprehend the fleeing suspect. 

As Tyler walks up to the sidewalk, he watches a man running towards him and the cops on hot on his trail. Tyler knew he needed to help when he swiftly sticks his foot out to trip the suspect while still holding his delivery. Tyler’s quick thinking sends the man tumbling to the ground and into the custody of the police. 

Unbothered by the wild events, Tyler delivers the large pepperoni pizza to his customer on time and unscathed! It was still hot and fresh. Later, Tyler’s boss gave Tyler credit on their Instagram page for his quick thinking. They wrote, “Special shoutout to our delivery driver Tyler, who assisted the Brookhaven police today and STILL delivered the pizza unharmed!!” 

He said he’s always wanted to do something heroic, and I say this is pretty heroic. He put his job and integrity on the line to do what needed to be done. The police department is also thankful for Tyler’s quick actions. 

We need more people like Tyler in the world. Even though he is incredibly humble about his actions, we are thankful for men like him. He had no problem stepping up and helping when it was needed the most. 

“Be of good courage, and let us be courageous for our people, and for the cities of our God, and may the Lord do what seems good to him,” 2 Samuel 10:12. 

One child with a disability had a sweet encounter with his favorite animated character.

Over the years, Disney has created dozens of beloved films and characters that hold a special place in the hearts of many. Disney’s beloved theme parks all over the world provide visitors with the unique opportunity to meet those historic characters. 

In Central Florida, Disney has four iconic theme parks – Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. It was at Hollywood Studios where one special and heartwarming moment took place.

AAsher Lilles is a young man who suffers from Down syndrome and also has non-verbal apraxia, according to ABC6. AAsher also happens to love Donald Duck and during a trip to Hollywood Studios, he got to meet the cartoon duck.

In the clip posted on YouTube, AAsher, who is dressed just like his favorite cartoon character, stands and waits behind a park employee. Seconds into the video, Donald runs up to the little guy with his arms wide open.

But instead of a hug, Donald spins around frantically several times before finally giving the young man a loving embrace. Donald then positions AAsher in order to get a good look at his outfit, which is the exact same one the duck is wearing. 

Before the clip ends, Donald and AAsher shake their behinds together at the camera.

At Disney’s many theme parks around the world, dreams really do come true every day. Families use valuable vacation time to visit those parks because they know they’ll make cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

AAsher’s precious and heartwarming encounter with Donald Duck is likely something he and his family will remember forever. A little bit of kindness can make someone’s entire day, which the video perfectly illustrates.

Colossians 3:12 “Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering.”

Disneyland is often described as the “happiest place on Earth,” and for three men, that world-famous tagline proved to be 100 percent correct.

Life can be an uncompromising and unforgiving grind. The daily struggle to make a living can wear even the most resilient and positive person down. As the popular Loverboy states, most people are “working for the weekend,” just hoping for a small respite from the job.

Three gentlemen standing in a Home Depot parking lot were treated to a brief relief from the daily grind. A video posted to TikTok shows Jesús Morales pulling into the hardware store’s parking lot looking for three people to surprise with a day at Disneyland.

Jesús pulls up near the three guys in the parking lot and, speaking in Spanish, informs them he is “looking for three workers.” They all immediately agree, but Jesús tells them the work will be strenuous. 

“The work is going to be heavy,” Jesús tells them. 

He then lets the men in on their burdensome assignment for the day: “We’re going to Disneyland,” Jesús says.

After climbing into the car, one of the men already expresses gratitude for the unexpected trip before the vehicle has even left the parking lot.

“Thank you for this support that you gave us and let’s go enjoy and smile a bit,” the man says.

The rest of the video is of the three men enjoying the park’s many classic rides, including Splash 

Mountain and the teacups at the Mad Tea Party, while they don the iconic Mickey Mouse ears hat. They also take in one of the park's many parades. Smiles and laughter abound. 

But that’s not all. At the end of the video, each of the three men receives $200 in cash.

A break from reality, even a small one, can make a world of difference to someone struggling and battling to make it through the workweek.

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

One grateful mother is praising God after her child started breathing after being declared dead. 

Throughout the Bible are mentions of various miracles. Whether it be the parting of the Red Sea in Exodus, God speaking to Moses through a burning bush or Jesus feeding 5,000 in Matthew, God’s Word tells of His miraculous works. However, the Lord is still a God capable of performing stunning and inexplicable works today. One couple knows this firsthand.

Magali Lorenzi, a woman in California, came across the most terrifying scene possible for a parent: a child not moving or breathing. It happened after Magali’s husband, Pablo Lorenzi, checked on the couple’s six children who were playing in their backyard following church. However, 19-month-old Sophia was nowhere to be found, according to a video posted on YouTube.

That’s when the couple discovered the gate to their pool and jacuzzi area was open. Sophia was found in the jacuzzi. The couple believes the child had been underwater for nearly 15 minutes. 

“When I found her, I was just in shock,” Pablo said. “My heart just dropped, and I grabbed her really quick, and I screamed as hard as I could, you know, for help.”

The child, who did not respond to CPR attempts, was transported to the hospital for treatment. After arriving at the hospital, one of the doctors declared the child dead. However, things took an unexpected turn.

A nurse, less than 20 minutes after the doctor said the child was dead, witnessed Sophia breathing. 

“How can you explain that scientifically?” Magali said. “God is intervening. He was, He intervened in that moment.”

Doctors reported that the incident did result in a loss of oxygen to Sophia’s brain. But an examination performed days later showed “none of her other organs were damaged.”

Sophia’s father, in the video, reports that his daughter has opened her eyes and has been moving her hands and arms. 

“There is no doubt after I saw the miracle, I said, 'God, you can do anything,’” Magali said. 

What a mighty God we serve!

1 Chronicles 29:11 “Yours, O Lord is the strength and the power and the glory, and the authority and the honor: for everything in heaven and on earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are lifted up as head over all.”

One young man went out of his way to display incredible kindness for a fellow classmate who was being bullied.

Childhood is often a wonderful time in life. It’s generally a period filled with friends and fun. Homework is the biggest concern for most kids. But for some children, childhood can be a tad tougher, bullying from their peers can make life miserable. A little kindness and consideration can make a bullying victim’s life and outlook a bit brighter.

On The Kelly Clarkson Show, the “Miss Independent” singer spoke to a child who stepped up to help a bullying victim and the young man who received the kindness. 

Melo, a 7th grader, noticed one of his fellow classmates, Melvin, was being teased and bullied for his appearance. Melo wanted to do something to help provide Melvin some comfort. So, Melo, a 12-year-old young man, dipped into his own personal funds, his allowance, and bought Melvin shoes. 

Melo admitted to Kelly that he badly wanted to help Melvin because he had been in a similar situation.

“Doing this was so important to me,” Melo said. “When I saw Melvin getting bullied in class, it really hurt me in a way because when I was younger, I got bullied because of my height.”

Melvin had nothing but gratitude for the extraordinary act of kindness of love. He wished other people would use Melo’s move and learn from it.

“I’m very grateful for what Melo did for me,” Melvin said. “I wish other kids could be just like Melo, helping others out.”

Melo, with empathy, love and kindness, helped make Melvin’s day and life a little bit better. With tennis shoes, Melo showed concern and care for Melvin. 

What an excellent reminder to stop and consider what others are going through and think about how we might be able to make their situation a tad better. 

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 father caught his daughter's astonished, amazed and genuine reaction when they spotted one of nature’s most magnificent creatures.

God really is an artist. He has created some marvelous and stunning things. The Grand Canyon is a sight that must be viewed in person and even then, you may still question your eyes. Mount Everest and the Great Barrier Reef are just a few other natural wonders that will take your breath away.

Animals are another spectacular feat and accomplishment of an Almighty God capable of designing stunning and beautiful creatures. During an outing off the coast of Newfoundland in Canada, a father and a daughter saw one of those creatures up close. The girl’s reaction is priceless.

In the video posted to YouTube, the father and daughter are in a small boat, floating along in the water. They appear to be out searching for whales, but not having much luck. Dad even comments early in the video that “we scared him.”

The whale must not have been too frightened as seconds later a massive humpback whale leaps out of the water. What an awe-inspiring sight!

The little girl hilariously reacts to what she has just witnessed. 

She turns toward the camera, speechless, with her mouth wide open in total amazement. 

But the whale is not done putting on a show for the father and daughter pair. He continues flipping and jumping about in the water right in front of them.

After the whale’s act is complete, the girl responds with laughter and asks, “What just happened?”

She also exclaims, “Oh my goodness!” as the whale leaps a few more times.

Dad is predictably also blown away by the display he was lucky to have witnessed. 

“Holy crap, man,” Dad said. “That was beautiful.”

Psalm 96:11 “Let the heavens have joy and the earth be glad; let the sea be thundering with all its waters.”

A family received quite a shock one night as they were reunited with someone they hadn’t seen in months.

Members of the United States armed forces sacrifice a lot for the country they love and serve. They are often sent to some of the worst places in the world for months at a time, where death is often a real possibility. However, the families of those service members also sacrifice a lot as well. They can be forced to go months, even years without being able to wrap their arms lovingly around their mother, father, brother or sister.

One video posted to YouTube shows a beautiful moment as a military father surprised his young children during a medieval times dinner in Georgia. 

As the video shows, the three children kneel for what they thought was a simple, run-of-the-mill knighting ceremony. However, this occasion would soon prove to be anything but ordinary. 

With the children kneeling, a man wearing knight garb, complete with a blue cape and a mask to conceal his face, walks in from the left. He then draws his sword out and goes through the motions, knighting the children. 

The man then turns away from the children, pulls off his mask and reveals that the man in the costume was in fact their dearly beloved father! The children hadn’t seen their father for the better part of a year, nine months, because he had been overseas serving with the military.

While the camera angle is not the greatest for catching the children’s expressions at the big reveal, the oldest child’s jaw literally drops! The sweet moment concludes with a big group hug.

Many are aware, appreciative and grateful for what the military members do on behalf of our nation. But it’s much easier to forget what their families give up. This video is a sweet reminder of the sacrifice those military families make. 

Ephesians 6:4 “And you father, do not make your children angry: but give them training in the teaching and fear of the Lord.”

Where I started out life and how it was......

2 years ago was the last act of criminal activity, which has changed my life for the greater good!
