June 20, 2024
This 4-year-old's unexpected act of kindness changed an elderly man's life.
There is a reaction to every action. Sometimes, those reactions and repercussions are simple, mundane and nothing too surprising. As we all know, that is usually what happens. However, sometimes, our simple, seemingly meaningless actions can have a massive impact, leading to a drastic and literal life change for someone.

A video posted on TikTok explains how a young lady’s simple actions in a grocery store changed the life of an elderly man. Dan Peterson, an 82-year-old man, had recently lost his wife and was experiencing a deep depression.

In the clip, Dan admits that he wasn’t really living and was waiting to die. For Dan, this dark period lasted for six months.
But a trip to the supermarket changed everything and led to a lifelong friendship.

The 4-year-old, Norah Wood, while sitting in a shopping cart, reached out to Dan and then asked him for a hug.
“This is the first time, for quite a while, that I’ve been this happy,” he said.
After that initial hug in the supermarket, the child started visiting Dan at his house once a week.
“She opened me to a love that I didn’t know existed,” Dan said.
Sadly, Dan passed away, and Norah was at this funeral, holding back tears.
A young woman’s simple action changed and brightened up a man’s entire life. We never truly know how much our actions could impact someone else’s life.

Telling those around us we love and appreciate them is excellent and should be something we all do regularly. However, those words are empty if we’re not really willing to back them up with any action. Actions really do speak much louder than words, and can change someone's life.
1 John 3:18 “My little children, do not let our love be in word and in tongue, but let it be in act and in good faith.”
