A group of high school students stepped up in a big way during an emergency and helped lift a car off the ground, freeing a mother and her son who were pinned underneath.

Life, for the most part, is an unpredictable experience. Sure, everyone has a general idea of what to expect during an average day. But those expectations can be thrown out the window without notice. Things can change in an instant. 

Frightening and horrifying emergencies can arise, putting someone’s life in grave danger. That’s a sad fact that a mother and her two young children know all too well after they were hit by a car walking across a school parking lot in Utah, according to a video posted on YouTube.

Fortunately, the little girl freed herself and crawled out from under the car. However, the mother and her son were left pinned under the vehicle. But thanks to the heroism and quick actions of a group of high school students, the mom and her son were soon freed from their scary predicament.

The video shows a group of high school students banding together and crowding around the car. They then picked up the car high enough off the group to where the mother and the little boy were able to get out from underneath the vehicle. 

Following their rescue, the mother and her child were transported to the hospital for treatment. The woman underwent surgery, which her husband said “went well.”  

The woman’s husband is eternally grateful for the students and the school administrators' efforts to save his wife and young son. He knows things could have turned out very differently. 

“Thank you so much,” he said. “Like, they were monumental in my family’s life.”

The stunning clip shows that when people work together and direct their efforts toward a good and worthwhile cause amazing things can happen. It can even save a life. 

Psalm 82:3-4 “Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights. Be the savior of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evildoers.”

A loving and caring young man teaches his adorable little sister how to ride a bike, offering her sweet and touching words of encouragement all along the way.

For children, there are two milestones and markers in their young lives: learning to tie their shoes and ride a bike. Those are skills that all children struggle with before mastering them. Some may have a harder time than others picking them up than others, but it can be trying, nonetheless. 

In a video posted on TikTok, a young man sets out to show his little sister how to ride a bike. But before they even get to the bikes, it’s safety first.

At the start of the clip, the little guy lovingly offers to help his sister with her helmet, placing it on her head. He’s then ever so careful and gentle with her to keep from pinching her. Then after he gets her strapped into the helmet, the two children hit the bike trails.

The video shows the older brother a few feet in front of her as the little girl struggles to keep up with him. However, instead of correcting her, the little boy offers his sister words of encouragement.

“You’re a lot better than last time,” he tells her. He then states, “I can keep you safe.”

The little boy then mimes how to ride a bike, telling her to “grab the handlebars and do this” as he runs down the trail. She tries but doesn’t have the same success as her older brother.

After the two finish their bike lesson, the boy checks in on his sister. He asks her if she “had some big emotions.”

Then, the minute-long video concludes with the little boy riding down the trail by himself as he sings John Denver’s classic tune, “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”

With a brother as sweet and patient as him, the little girl will learn how to ride a bike in no time. 

Ephesians 4:32 “And be you kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake has forgiven you.”

A man was surprised and overjoyed after being reunited with his father after more than a decade apart.

Human beings are all unique. Everyone has their own set of likes, dislikes, thoughts and feelings. As such, relationships are tricky and are often difficult to navigate and maneuver. What may work when communicating and interacting with one person may not work with someone else. Also, sadly, relationships can become strained. People can become estranged from one another, refusing to talk or even see each other.

However, a clip posted on TikTok captures the moment a son and a father were brought back together after they had not seen one another for 15 years. 

The text in the video indicates that the moment of reunification between father and son did not just occur out of the blue. Instead, it required “months of planning.”

About 30 seconds into the video, someone calls for the man to walk into the living room. Moments later he appears and asks what is causing all the commotion. But then he takes his hand to his mouth, unable to believe his eyes. The tears begin flowing down the son’s face.

An older gentleman appears on camera, entering from the left side of the frame. The father and son meet in the middle of the room. They share a warm, loving and long-awaited embrace. 

The son, as he hugs his father, goes down to his knees because he is so overwhelmed with emotion. 

The father even gives his son a sweet kiss on the forehead. 

The two share a few words, but it’s hard to make out what is said because a couple of dogs, also enjoying the special moment, let out several loud yelps. 

It’s unclear why the two went so long without seeing one another. But it’s still an incredibly sweet and emotional clip. 

Psalm 103:13 “As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshipers.”

Joy!

A youngster went out of his way to express his thoughts and feelings about a delivery driver who helped corral the family’s dog.

As anyone knows, children do not have a filter. Unlike adults, whatever children are thinking or feeling at that moment is likely what they are going to say. For parents, a child’s inability to stop themselves from saying whatever they are thinking can make for some awkward, hilarious and even sweet interactions.

A video posted on social media shows how one toddler’s lack of filter created a touching and moving moment between him and a friendly, caring UPS driver. Frank, the UPS driver in the video, was out dropping packages off when he lent a helping hand to a family that needed it.

The family was running after their furry, four-legged friend who had gotten outside. Frank helped the family secure the dog and take it back to their house. The family, of course, appreciated Frank’s assistance in helping them catch their beloved canine.

But one little guy, 2-year-old Owen, went one sweet step further in expressing how he felt about Frank. In the video, Owen can be seen standing in the driveway as Frank heads back to his truck. Owen then expresses his gratitude.

“Thank you,” Owen tells Frank.

“You’re welcome,” Frank responds to the toddler.

But Owen was not done yet.

“I love you!” Owen states.

“Aww! I love you, too!” says Frank. “We need lots of love in the world, absolutely!”

Owen and his mother then approach Frank at his truck. Owen and Frank share a warm embrace.

Frank, the clip mentions, also told Owen that he is one of Santa’s helpers and would put in a good word for the young man. 

What a beautiful and moving moment between two strangers, but it all started with a single, unexpected act of kindness. 

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

One team in the National Football League helped to make a sick child’s dream and wish come true.

The world is a cold, cruel and unforgiving place. It’s a place where some of society’s most innocent and vulnerable members are often forced to deal with and confront terrible and heartbreaking situations. Life isn’t a fair experience, not even for young children.

Brixton Wood is a young man, and at just six years old, he was diagnosed with cancer. The youngster soon began cancer treatments, undergoing several rounds of chemotherapy, according to the video posted on YouTube. 

Anyone entering the young man’s hospital room would immediately notice one thing about it. His room was decked out in Cincinnati Bengals gear. Pennants and jerseys were hung from the walls. On his bed and the chair in his room were Bengals' blankets and pillows. To say he is a fan of the NFL team would be an understatement.

After leaving the hospital, the young man got his wish answered. He traveled to Cincinnati, where he spent time with the team’s star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, and the rest of the team. 

The video shows Brixton checking out the Bengals' facility, including the team’s locker room, where Brixton had his very own locker. 

After checking out the team’s locker room, Brixton visited the team at practice and even led them in a cheer. 

But that wasn’t all. The young man ran up and down on the Bengals’ field with his favorite player and even scored a touchdown, showing off his best celebratory dance moves.

The world is full of hurting and struggling people. Some people are dealing with issues and situations that we could never imagine. But a little bit of kindness and love could change their entire outlook. It could give them hope or, at the very least, a chance to forget their circumstances. 

Romans 15:13 “Now may the God of hope make you full of joy and peace through faith, so that all hope may be yours in the power of the Holy Spirit.”

A group of high school students in New York City every week spend time visiting, chatting and playing board games with seniors in assisted living facilities.

The world can often be a sad, lonely and heartbreaking place. Some individuals may be dealing with feelings of extreme loneliness, believing they have no one to talk to or turn to when life gets rough. It’s for that reason simple, unexpected acts of kindness like holding the door for someone or something similar can make all the difference.

A clip posted on YouTube shows how 60 concerned and caring students in New York City are working to make the world a little less lonely. The students visit nursing facilities where they talk to the residents and even play games like Scrabble and Chess with them. 

But when it comes to games, it’s not about winning or losing but about the connections and the bonds made during those visits. 

“Sometimes we don’t play any board games at all, we just have conversations,” 17-year-old Max Hochman said. “So, it’s really about the connection. We’re so pleased to be learning from the residents at these homes.”

But, amazingly, this was not a program that was started by a school administrator or even by someone who works at one of the facilities the students visit weekly. Instead, it was thought up by one of the students involved in the program.

The program started as an idea from Max Hochman during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I started thinking about it during the COVID-19 pandemic when I heard about how my grandfather was kind of feeling lonely,” Max said. “I decided to just pick up the phone one day and call him and ask him to play Chess online with me.”

Max saw how this simple act made a huge difference.

“I saw how that, like, really improved his mood,” the youngster said. “I thought, like, ‘How could I bring this to my community, NYC?’”

Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and take heart and have no fear of them: for it is the Lord your God who is going with you; he will not take away his help from you.”

Academy Award-winning actress Reese Witherspoon went to social media and shared some words of wisdom that her grandmother gave her. 

An education, no matter how many degrees one acquires, will always remain unfinished. There will always be more to learn and more wisdom to obtain. For that reason, listening to the words and teachings of trusted individuals, like grandparents, is always a good idea.

Grandparents have more life experience and will naturally have picked up more wisdom along the way. So, whenever they are giving out that information free of charge, best soak it up and put it to work. 

In a clip posted on Instagram, Reese shared some words of wisdom that her grandmother shared with her about life. Reese says the idea her grandmother imparted to her has since become “a principle” that she “lives her life by.”

She states that her grandmother told her, “People are either radiators or they’re drains.” Radiators, according to Reese and her grandmother, are the people to spend time around and avoid those who would be deemed “drains.”

Reese further explains what her grandmother meant. 

“You need to spend time around the radiators – the people who radiate goodness, and light and positivity,” she said. 

The drains, as Reese mentions, are those individuals who are the exact opposite of the radiators. Drains only serve to “drag you down.”

Near the end of the short clip, Reese asks her followers a question. 

“Also, don’t you want to be someone in people’s lives that radiates goodness and positivity and creativity and optimism and humor and not a drain?” Reese asks. 

But before she signs off, she tells everyone to “be someone’s radiator today.”

Our attitudes, words and actions can and do have a monumental impact on those around us, whether we realize it or not. Reese’s grandmother sounds like one wise lady!

Ephesians 4:29 “Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.”

A kind and caring young woman helps remind senior citizens that they aren’t forgotten and still matter by giving them socks at Christmastime.

Everyone, whether they want to admit it or not, enjoys receiving gifts during the Christmas season. However, it’s not just about the object that has been meticulously and intricately wrapped but about what the gift represents. It’s a sign of love. It shows that someone cares enough about us that they spent time and money purchasing and presenting us with a gift.

Elle Gianelli, a 17-year-old high school student, is doing just that for seniors with the organization she founded, Socks4Seniors. At Christmastime, she gifts “silly socks” to seniors in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. 

The young woman admits that her aim with her philanthropic efforts is to remind the elderly that they matter and that someone is thinking about them.

“I know they have, like, Toys for Tots or things for kids, you know?” Elle said. “And we always seem to forget about seniors.”

But Elle’s sweet move was not something she recently thought up for this Christmas season. The clip posted on YouTube points out that Elle actually came up with Socks4Seniors as a 7th-grade student.

At the start of Socks4Seniors, Elle gave her “silly socks” to nursing homes and assisted living facilities in her town, Stockton, California. But now, years later, her efforts and reach have increased considerably.

She is now sending socks to more than 90 facilities in 48 of the country’s 50 states. As a result of her expanded efforts, Elle now has some pen pals, according to the clip. 

The loving and caring young woman admits senior citizens hold a special place in her heart.

“I’m a grandma’s girl,” Elle said. “I love, love, love my nana.”

What a terrific idea and effort! May God bless this young woman as she works to make senior citizens feel special and wanted. 

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

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. 

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

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.”

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.’”

One Clemson football player got a major shock before he took the field when his military father, stationed overseas, returned and surprised him. 

The men and women of the United States armed forces routinely put themselves in harm’s way for their country. They willingly give their time and talents for the good of the country they love. They sacrifice a lot for their fellow countrymen and women. 

However, military members aren’t the only people who endure sacrifices. Their families are often forced to go weeks, months and even years without seeing and being able to hug their brother, sister, mother or father. A sweet video posted on YouTube of a father and a son helps to put those sacrifices into perspective.

As the video mentions, at the time, Ty Lucas was a member of the Clemson University football team. Ty was a running back on the team. Ty had not seen his father, Cody Lucas, a captain in the United States Army, in nine months. Cpt. Cody Lucas had been serving in the Middle East for quite some time.

But before Ty and his teammates took the field to do battle on the gridiron, his dad anxiously paced around looking for his son, hoping to surprise him with his reappearance. 

Before the big surprise, Cody addressed the camera and mentioned how much he cares for and loves Ty. 

“I love ya, man,” Cody said. “I’m proud of ya. Thanks to all of the coaching staff and all your teammates.”

When the big moment finally arrives, Ty cannot believe his eyes. His jaw literally falls open when he spots his father. The two then share a long-awaited and much-anticipated loving embrace. 

Ty is overwhelmed by the surprise as tears begin filling his eyes. 

“It was a huge surprise,” Ty said. “It was the best thing ever. I didn’t expect it at all. It was crazy.”

Psalm 103:13 “As a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on his worshippers.”

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.”

One airline company, WestJet, went to extraordinary and unexpected lengths to help bring a couple of families together for the holiday season.

The Christmas season and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ is a tremendous time of year. It’s a period for family and friends, presents and delectable food. However, as fantastic as the holidays are, some people, due to work commitments or distance, are unable to enjoy it with their family. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, WestJet, understanding that thousands of people are away from their families on Christmas, went to work. They highlighted a handful of dedicated, hardworking people and brought Christmas – and their families – to them. 

The video states that WestJet wanted to “celebrate a few holiday heroes with a surprise they’d never forget.”

One of the people in the video is a bus driver who loves his job, seeing bringing travelers from Point A to Point B as “a simple thing that puts a smile” on his face. Another individual in the clip works at a hotel as a valet. A young woman works at the Vancouver airport. All three people take pride in their job, seeing their work as a mission to help and bring joy to others.

All three mention how difficult it is to be separated from their families at Christmastime. Then, at about the halfway point in the clip, it’s stated that “since they couldn’t be with their loved ones, we brought their loved ones to them.”

The looks of utter surprise, joy and happiness once they recognize their families have come to them will cause many to shed a tear or two or three. Even the most stoic person may get emotional as they appreciate the kind, loving and wholly unexpected gesture from WestJet.

The holidays are a lovely time of year. Memories are created and joy is abundant during Christmas celebrations. But sadly, as the video reminds us, some are away from their families at this special time.

Proverbs 17:22 “A merry heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.”

An alligator named after one of the most menacing and well-known villains in the history of cinema, Darth Vader, amazingly responds when that character’s iconic song is played.

Star Wars is a film franchise that has spanned decades, with several memorable and beloved characters included in the many movies. Whenever one thinks of Star Wars, names like Luke Skywalker, Hans Solo, Yoda and Lando Calrissian immediately come to mind. But there is one character that every Star Wars fan loves to hate: Darth Vader.

Darth Vader, despite being a villain, has become so iconic that the character’s theme music, The Imperial March, is instantly recognized. A clip posted on Twitter proves that it’s not only humans who are familiar with The Imperial March tune. 

In the video's opening seconds, a man holding a phone approaches the camera. He states that he wants to see if “Darth Gator” will recognize the tune and respond to the music or not.

Sure enough, seconds after the video music starts playing, one alligator slowly emerges from the water and approaches the gentleman playing the music on his phone. 

The alligator gets mere inches away from the man. He has no fear of the ferocious and menacing creature. He doesn’t step back or even flinch! Instead, the man shows how to get the being to stop moving.

“You want him to stop, just hit pause,” the man explains.

He stops the music on his phone, and just as the man stated, the alligator instantly stops moving. 

As a reward for his impressive and hilarious feat, the man gives the alligator a piece of meat, which it devours in two bites. 

Before the short, 1-minute clip ends, he starts the music again, and the alligator continues moving. 

Animals, even those who are best viewed from a safe distance, are fascinating.

Proverbs 12:10 “A righteous man regards the life of his beast, but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.”

A school principal, acting out of love and kindness, went out of his way to help a troubled student who was sent to his office, eventually adopting her. 

Life can often be a sad and confusing experience, filled with many ups and downs. That is especially true for children who do not receive the proper guidance and attention. They can become sad, lonely and angry and act out in wrong and destructive ways. 

Raven, an 11-year-old girl, was sent to the principal’s office for starting a fight with one of her classmates. In a clip posted on YouTube, she admits that she threw yogurt at the student. She was suspended for her behavior. 

“I was an angry, troubled child,” Raven said. 

But that’s when something unexpected happened that changed her life forever.

The school’s principal noticed Raven sitting outside his office. He said she looked sad, defeated and without any hope. He struck up a conversation with her and asked her whether she felt her behavior was appropriate. He then learned that Raven lived in a group home.

“So, at that point, I had a, felt like she just needed a hand, needed help, recognized that she needed something that she needed something to go in her favor, maybe for once,” Jason, the school principal, said.

It turned out that Jason and his wife had experienced issues conceiving, and after discussing it, they decided to make Raven a member of her family.

However, it wasn’t always easy, especially at first.

“It was really weird at first because, like, in my mind, I thought of him as the bad guy,” Raven admitted. 

But Jason’s and his wife’s love and hospitality put Raven’s fear and anxieties to rest. She said they made her feel like part of the family from the first moment she met them. 

After fostering Raven for 2 and a half years, she officially became a family member. Jason and his wife adopted Raven. 

The once angry, defeated and suspended young lady had found her forever home and family. 

“All kids, regardless of age, need an opportunity to feel loved, to be successful and to make something of themselves,” Jason said. 

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

One young man showed off his stunning ability and awe-inspiring God-given gift for numbers on The Kelly Clarkson Show. 

Math is a subject that comes more easily to some than to others. Math may confound and confuse some while the lightbulb switches on instantly for other people. Even after years of various math courses in school, some people may still feel quite uncomfortable performing many mathematical functions. 

One child at just 2 years old has quite the handle on numbers. In an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, young Devon showed the “Miss Independent” singer and her studio audience his mind-blowing ability and skill with numbers. 

The segment begins with a video of the young man standing at a miniature whiteboard with several math problems. The child, standing at the board, holds a marker in his right hand as he swiftly writes down the correct answer to each problem. 

It’s simply amazing!

Devon appeared with his father, Duane, who has witnessed his child’s insane ability with numbers up close. Duane mentions that at just four months old, he started showing Devon numbers. 

The young man’s first word, his father explained, was a sign that Devon would probably be pretty good at math.

“And also, his first word was seven,” Duane said. “So, we thought that was pretty cool.”

Duane states that he continued to develop Devon’s gift, saying that he bought a writing tablet for the young man at one year old. 

“And we would practice writing numbers 1 to 100 while holding his hands and saying it out loud,” he said. “So, soon after that, he was able to write numbers all on his own.”

But before the segment ends, Kelly tests Devon’s proficiency and skill with numbers by giving the young man a math problem. She asks him to solve 30 times 6.

Devon then heads to his whiteboard, writes the problem down, and quickly, with relative ease, provides the correct answer. Kelly is blown away!

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