One father, who was experiencing kidney failure, witnessed his son courageously step up to donate him a much-needed kidney. 

Parents are their children’s providers and protectors. Most would go to great lengths if it meant keeping their children from experiencing any amount of hurt or pain. It’s a parental instinct that does not go away no matter the age of their children. Parents hurt when their children hurt. 

However, one young man, Jonathan Calixto, came to the rescue of his father, Jose Calixto. Jose started experiencing kidney failure in 2021. He began dialysis in May of that year. 

Dialysis, which helps to “filter the blood and remove excess fluid after kidney failure,” took its toll on Jose. Jonathan, in a video posted on YouTube, mentioned how draining and taxing dialysis was on his father. 

“To see him like that, and his dialysis being three times a week for, like, three or four hours each time, and to see him when he came out very drained and tired,” Jonathan said. “He would usually sleep all day.”

Jonathan mentioned that his father, before kidney failure and undergoing dialysis, was active, participating in several sports. He said seeing this massive change in his father made him “incredibly sad.”

Seeing this devastating physical change in his father led Jonathan to think through solutions, including whether donating one of his kidneys was possible. 

Jonathan underwent several tests to determine if he was a match. Then in March 2023, it was confirmed. Jonathan was approved as a kidney donor for his father. Now, Jose no longer requires dialysis because of Jonathan's lifesaving gift. 

Jose states that his life has been changed thanks to his son. He also adds that his relationship with Jonathan is different, but better following the surgery.

“It has strengthened our relationship because [my son] gave me a part of himself,” he said.

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

People in a London office building were treated to an unexpected and choreographed dance routine involving a pair of security guards.

Most people enjoy a good surprise every now and then. Whether it be someone bringing in donuts for the entire office, hitting all green lights on the way to work or something else, how the morning begins can have a major impact on the rest of the day. It helps to set the tone for the workday. On the other hand, a not-so-good surprise can have a detrimental effect on the rest of the day. 

Fortunately, a handful of Londoners received the good kind of surprise in the form of an energetic, up-tempo and high-octane choreographed dance number. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, people, in what appears to be a brand-new structure, attend the opening ceremony of Trade Desk’s new London office, according to the video. 

Two men, dressed like security guards, unfurl a white, elongated piece of ribbon to a smattering of laughter. The laughs go on for a few more seconds when one of the two men says, “We can make this a little more exciting for ya.” 

He immediately breaks into dance as the Beatles’ “Come Together” plays. Seconds later, the other gentleman wearing a security guard uniform joins in on the fun, strutting his stuff for the appreciative crowd.

The song quickly changes to a hit from the Bee Gees and even more people join in, showing their fancy and well-timed moves. 

Music changes several times and a few more people hop in and dance with the group throughout the nearly 6-minute clip. But before the clip ends, a woman with an oversized pair of scissors eventually cuts the ribbon, officially opening the office building.

It's safe to say that the people who attended the office's opening ceremony had a better day than anticipated. Who doesn’t enjoy a little flash mob dance routine to start the day? 

Psalm 150:4 “Give him praise with instruments of brass and in the dance: give him praise with horns and corded instruments.”

Beautiful words

Several people shed tears during an emotional moment as Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin gave an award to the men and women who helped save his life. 

Football is a violent sport filled with quick, massive world-class athletes slamming into and tackling one another on every play. Injuries are a common occurrence during a regular game of football. But what happened during a January Monday night game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals was anything but ordinary. It was frightening. 

Following the end of a play, Damar was seen collapsing to the ground. Emergency crews rushed onto the field, attending to the player. It was later revealed that he had suffered cardiac arrest. He spent several days in the hospital while his life hung in the balance. He has since been released and has been OK’d to resume playing football.

During ESPN’s most recent ESPYS award ceremony, Damar presented the medical professionals who rushed to his side – the Buffalo Bills training staff – with the Pat Tillman Award for Service.

As the clip posted on YouTube shows, Damar was already emotional as he approached the microphone, wiping tears from his eyes. The entire room responded by giving the young man a standing ovation. 

While speaking on behalf of the entire training staff, Nate Breske, thanked the good Lord for His assistance in keeping Damar alive.

“By the grace of God and divine intervention, we had the best outcome we could have prayed for or imagined,” he said. 

Near the end of his speech, Nate stated that while Damar’s situation was frightening, one good thing did come from it.

“Damar’s injury was able to bring our nation together for a moment and show the world the power of prayer,” he said.

Mark 11:24 “For this reason I say to you, ‘Whatever you make a request for in prayer, have faith that it has been given to you, and you will have it.”

Former NBA player Shaquille O’Neal, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, greeted a family in Home Depot and surprised them by agreeing to pay for their washer and dryer.

A seemingly insignificant and unexpected act of kindness can go a long way in changing someone’s day, week, life and entire outlook. What one person may see as small, such as holding the door, can have massive ramifications, bringing about change for good. 

A short, 50-second video posted on Twitter shows former Los Angeles Laker Shaquille O’Neal performing a random act of kindness for a family shopping in Home Depot. 

The video shows the 7-footer walking through the store as he approaches two women, who calmly greet Shaq.

“Nice to meet you,” one of the women says as she shakes the NBA legend’s hand.

Shaq responds by asking them what items they are purchasing in the store. 

“We are buying the washer and dryer,” one of the two women tells Shaq.

Shaq states in a calm and matter-of-fact manner, “I’m gonna pay for it.”

The women cannot believe what they have just heard, that Shaq will be picking up the tab for their new household appliances. 

“Really! Oh, my God!” one of the women reacts.

They can’t contain their excitement at Shaq’s kind act and begin screaming and yelling in joy. There are smiles all around as Shaq gives both women hugs.

One woman exclaims, “Bless you, bless you, bless you” as she takes a selfie with Shaquille.

The video ends with the women with a Home Depot employee, selecting their preferred washer and dryer.

What a kind and generous act from a man who is known for doing such things for people. He recently bought a family with nine children a brand new 15-passenger van, according to GodUpdates.

Shaq may have scored thousands of points and won NBA titles during his playing career, but with his continued acts of kindness off the court, he’s changing lives and still gaining fans.

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.”

Many members of the cute, furry and four-legged community came together to help make one man’s milestone birthday a day he and his family will never forget.

As people get older, birthdays are occasions most like less and less. In fact, those are days on the calendar a good majority of people would like to skip over altogether. However, everything is always better with dogs, even days that remind us that we’re getting older.

A clip posted on YouTube mentions that one family in California took an unusual route when celebrating their father’s 100th birthday. They threw the man a dog parade! And the four-legged community and their two-legged owners responded in a big, big way.

Nearly 200 dogs joined in the surprise dog parade for Dr. Robert Moore. The video points out that Robert was overjoyed by the surprise lineup of dogs, petting every dog that came by to wish him a happy birthday.

Not only did Robert greet every member of the four-legged community by petting them, but he also knew every breed of dog he encountered!

One of Robert’s daughters, Vickie Mallon, was overjoyed by the turnout.

“This is probably the biggest thing that’s happened in our family that’s given us the most joy,” she said.

But the surprises did not stop with the seemingly endless line of dogs ready to meet and greet Robert on his big day. The clip points out that attendees brought “gifts, flowers, balloons and posters.” 

So, who were these people that came out and helped bring a smile to Robert’s face? They were total and complete strangers.

“They were mostly strangers. They were,” Alison Moore, Robert’s daughter said. “And it just, it makes you feel wonderful about your community that people would come out and do that for your dad that you love so much.”

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

Legendary figure skater Kurt Browning put his kills on the ice on full display with a dazzling performance to the classic song “Singing in the Rain.”

Figure skating is a sport that requires tremendous skill, athleticism and dedication. Participants in the sport must also possess a fair amount of creativity, flair and charisma. Not only do audiences and judges want to watch an athlete move about on the ice, but they also want to be entertained. Skaters, to keep all eyes on them during their routine, must be creative and inventive, keeping things fresh and new.

In a video posted to YouTube, Canadian figure skater Kurt Browning showed off his ample athleticism and skill and his ability to turn in a fun and interesting routine. Kurt, decked out in a gray suit as he sports a fedora and carries an umbrella, reenacts Gene Kelly’s iconic dance from the 1952 film “Singin’ in The Rain.”

He gives a spectacular performance, showcasing his skills on the ice while delivering a truly inventive and creative routine. Many times, throughout the nearly 5-and-a-half-minute clip, Kurt so effortlessly and gracefully moves on the ice that he appears to be dancing. The audience loves Kurt’s efforts. They give him a round of applause on several occasions. 

His routine is filled with dazzling and awe-inspiring maneuvers. He twists, turns, jumps and skates backward at high speeds without ever missing a step. 

Also, in another show of his creativity, Kurt makes good use of his prop. Throughout the routine, Kurt incorporates the umbrella, much like Gene Kelly did in the beloved film. 

But, like any great showman, Kurt leaves the best for last. At approximately the 4:15-minute mark of the clip, water falls on the ice, giving the impression that it is raining. Kurt dances around in the newly-fallen water as the crowd cheers and claps.

What a spectacular display from a world-class athlete! 

Psalm 30:11 “You have turned for me my mourning into dancing: you have put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness.”

Two talented dancers showed off their moves while performing as the iconic and beloved dolls Barbie and Ken.

Every person had a favorite toy as a child. Maybe it was the always-popular writing and drawing device Etch A Sketch. Perhaps the Slinky was the go-to object for fun and amusement. For those outdoor types, the toy of choice may have been the Radio Flyer red wagon or a Schwinn bicycle. 

However, if dolls or action figures were your favorites, you really had two main options: Barbie or the plastic green army men. Decades after the slender doll first hit store shelves, Mattel’s Barbie remains as popular as ever. It has even spawned a film starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. 

In a clip posted to YouTube, two dancers – Alexander and Veronika Voskalchuk – performed a 4-and-a-half-minute routine as the iconic Barbie and Ken dolls. Their creative and inventive dance number gets underway on a hilarious note, even before the music begins.

Veronika, wearing a long, flowing and frilly pink dress, is carried out onto and placed on the dance floor. Her hands, legs and face are frozen in place, like the doll loved by many. Seconds later, Veronika is followed by her dance partner, Alexander, who also is carried out onto the floor. 

Then the music kicks in, which, of course, is the song “Barbie Girl” by Aqua. Veronika and Alexander move around and greet one another in a manner reminiscent of dolls with limited movement. 

The audience obviously loves the uproarious and inventive routine. They give the two dancers a rousing round of applause and cheers about a minute into their dance.

At approximately the 1:30-minute mark in the clip, the two dancers pour a magical, glitter-type substance on one another, which gives them their full range of motion. 

The rest of their dance number is a dazzling display of artistry, skill and creativity. The audience, at the end of their routine, once again, shows the two performers their appreciation with a hearty round of applause and cheers.

Psalm 30:11 “You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.”

A gym owner in Memphis, Tennessee, used a cup of coffee to change one man’s life after he found him sleeping in his car.

Life is a series of choices and decisions. Those actions yesterday will result in today's and tomorrow’s circumstances. However, while that may be true, everyone needs a little love and grace at times.

Roderick Duncan is a gym owner in Tennessee. He is a big proponent that change doesn't happen overnight. He also believes that our choices ultimately guide the direction of our lives. That’s why when he found 24-year-old Bryan Taylor, a homeless man living in one of his vehicles, he took a different approach, but not at first. 

As the video posted on YouTube points out, Bryan showed up repeatedly, sleeping in Roderick’s car. Eventually, instead of kicking him out, the gym owner tried something else entirely. He got to know the young man over a cup of coffee.

The video mentions that Bryan had endured a difficult childhood and had a drinking issue. This time, Roderick showed Bryan love and helped him get his life back on track. He bought him some clothes, took him to job interviews and gave him a place to sleep on his couch. 

However, over the course of their relationship, Bryan has messed up. He’s failed to live up to Roderick’s standards or violated some rules. But Roderick continues to show the man grace and love.

“Some people need more than one chance, you know?” Roderick said. “Some people, it takes, it takes a while for most kids to stop bumping their heads.”

Because of Roderick’s continued patience, love and grace, Bryan’s life has dramatically improved.

“I got a job,” Bryan said. “I got more confidence. I got a smile on my face.”

Because of a single cup of coffee and a lot of love and patience, Roderick is helping Bryan turn his life around.
