This is how a healthy community is supposed to be
Well said!❤
EXACTLY.. LOVE THY NEIGHBOR… its a commandment..
Facts
Infamous saying: It takes a village to raise a child!❤
@dee7672 too bad my neighborhood is full of Christians and are absolutely disrespectful anytime they can be. I be good because I care for my fellow human, not because an imaginary friend told me to do so.
They’re keeping Paul alive, that’s for sure.
I thought the same.
they keep him well-oiled, and the son joins him to walk to his house so he'll be safe but when the son is going home, Paul joins him so he'll also be safe so after they arrive the son has to join him get back home, it's a loop that probably takes 30 minutes; a good workout .
What a wholesome neighbor .
He’s going to live a lot longer than he would’ve if he didn’t have the kids around.
I remember my grandma always saying “you guys are keeping me limber” as we ran around wrecking her house 😂
Loving grand Pa. You can’t have too many!!! The best kinds love!
Not only do the children have an honorary grandpa, but their interactions will help him live healthier and longer. Elderly loneliness is real.
Lovely comment
What causes it
A beautiful story.
@@goyonman9655 We don't know what causes Elderly Loniless, but some anecdotal evidence suggests it has to do with being lonely purely speculation.
Yes I definitely believe that my mother moving my great grandmother in with us definitely caused her to live longer she was very lonely in her old house and while it’s still sad that she has passed away I feel that if it wasn’t for me and my siblings daily interaction with her she would have passed years ago.

This comment deserves more likes! ❤
True for me as well....
That's a lie. If this is was so, why is it so many hateful people in the world?
yeah
@sterlingshelton4849 for ppl who are naturally of light & love, hate is just not in us.
At 79 very close to 80 years old, I would love a family to adopt me. What a great story of there is no colour.
Wish you were nearby 😢
@@ashantishante5435 thank you, Colombia is a little far!
Blessings to you JohneBGood…I will pray for Jah to protect you always…I wish you health, peace, and prosperity but most of all I wish you love…Sharon

Far from what?? You can't be far from everyone.
Or you adopt a family! 👍
His wife passed but God sent these angels to look after him until he joins her on the other side!!! Damn this is beautiful 🥹🥹❤
God is good!!! ❤🙌🏾
YES!!! It is SO beautiful. You're absolutely right. They were SENT to him 😊
Beautifully said! ❤❤❤❤
🟫THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought in the second and last incarnation of the His new and holy name"
(What God hates most of all are the superstitious practices of people, but many people still cannot let go of them, thinking that this superstitious practice is ordained by God, and even now have not completely let go of those. Even the day of worship (including the Sabbath, which the religious world observes) is hated by God; and even more God hates and rejects social relations and worldly relations between man and man. God did not even order the spring Festival and Christmas day that everyone knows, especially the toys and decorations such as pairs, fireworks, lanterns, Holy Communion, Christmas gifts and parties --Christmas party----aren't they idols in people's mindsthis? The breaking of bread on the Sabbath, Wine, and Fine Linen are even more idolatrous. All the various traditional Festival days known in China, such as "Dragon Heads--raising Day," the "Dragon Boat Festival," "Mid--Autumn Festival," the "Laba Festival," and New Year's day, and Holidays in the religious world such as Easter, day ofBaptism, and Christmas day, all of these arbitrary Feasts have been organized and passed down from ancient times to the present day by many people. The more the Satans congregate in a location, and the more obsolete and backward that place is, the worse the feudal customs become. Many of the Festivals in the religious world seem to show great originality and seem to create a bridge to God's work, but they are not--they are seen as Satan's bonds that bind people so that they cannot recognize the God--all that iscunning trick of Satan. Actually the work that God is doing today is mainly to deal with and eradicate the superstitious nature of people and completely change their mental outlook.)
Almighty God said
What GOD hates most of all superstitious practices of people, but many people still cannot let go of them, thinking that this superstitious practice is ordained by God, and even now have not completely let go of those. THINGS LIKE YOUTHS ARRANGE for WEDDING FESTIVALS and DOWRIES for BRIDES; MONEY GIFTS, FEASTS, and similar methods of CELEBRATION of BAD OCCASIONS; ancient INHERITED FORMULAS; ALL the NON--SIGNIFICANT SUPERSTITIONSwork PERFORMED in the NAME of the DEAD and the SEMONY of BURYING them, GOD HATES all of this MORE. 😪
Even the DAY of WORSHIP (including the Sabbath, which the religious world observes) is HATES by GOD; and even MORE GOD HATES and REJECTS SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS and WORLDLY RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MEN and MEN. 😪
GOD DIDN'T ORDER even the SPRING FESTIVAL and CHRISTMAS DAY that everyone knows, especially the toys and decorations like pares--pares, firecrackers, lanterns, Holy Communion, Christmas gifts and party---Christmas party------- AREN'T those IDOLS in PEOPLE'S MIND this? 😪
BREAKING---PIECES of BREAD on the SABBATH DAY, WINE, and FINE LINEN is even MORE truly an IDOL. All the different TRADITIONAL FESTIVALS known in CHINA, such as "Dragon Heads---raising Day," the "Dragon Boat Festival," "Mid--Autumn Festival," the "Laba Festival," and NEW YEAR'S DAY, and RELIGIOUS WORLD HOLIDAYS such as CHRISTMAS OF LIFE, DAY OFBAPTISM, and CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL these arbitrary feasts have been organized and handed down from ancient times to the present day by many people. ☀️
HUMANITY'S RICH IMAGINATION and CREATIVE AWARENESS CAUSED them to be PASSED to the DAY. 😪
The MORE the DEVILS GATHER a LOCATION, and the MORE OLD and BACKWARD that PLACE is, the WORSE the FEUDAL CUSTOMS. These things bind people so tightly, that they cannot move. Many of the FESTIVALS in the RELIGION WORLD seem to SHOW great originality and seem to create a BRIDGE to God's work, but they are NOT in FACT----SEEN BANDS of SATAN that BIND them MAN to NOT KNOW GOD----ALL of thatis a cunning DECEPTION of SATAN. 🛑😪
In fact, when a phase of God's work is over, He destroys the tools and styles of that time, leaving no traces.
However, "faithful believers" continue to worship tangible material things; WHILE they SET ASIDE what GOD has in their MINDS, NOT STUDYING it ANYMORE, SEEMING to be FULL of LOVE to GOD BUT the REALITY is HE is LONG-TERM when PUSHED OUT of the HOUSE and PLACED SATAN on the TABLE to WORSHIP. 😪 🛑
The IMAGES of JESUS, the CROSS, MARY, the BAPTISM of JESUS and the LAST SUPPER----ALL of these are respected by the PEOPLE as the LORD of HEAVEN, while OVER--OVER AND AGAIN SHOUTING "LORD, FATHER in heaven." Isn't ALL of this a joke? 🛑
Until now, GOD HATES many similar sayings and practices inherited by mankind, THOSE SERIOUSLY BLOCK THE WAY TO GOD and, moreover, become a great hindrance to mankind's entrance.
in addition to the EXTENT of SATAN'S CORRUPTION of HUMANITY, PEOPLE'S WILLS are COMPLETELY FILLED with THINGS LIKE Witness Lee's LAW, Lawrence's experiences, Watchman Née's surveys and Paul's work.
There is really no way for God to work with people because within them there is too much selfishness, laws, rules, rules and systems, and the like, these things, in addition to the last of the feudal people which superstitions, have captured and devoured thehumanity. What people think is an exciting movie that tells a "fairy tale" that is colorful, with incredible creatures riding on clouds, so creative that people are amazed, leaving them dumb and unable to speak. ACTUALLY, the WORK that GOD is DOING NOW is MAINLY to ATTACK and DELETE the SAD CHARACTERISTICS of PEOPLE and to COMPLETELY CHANGE their MENTAL OUTLINES. 🙏
God's work has not lasted until now because of the heritage passed down by mankind through the generations; it is a work He personally initiates and completes, not necessarily succeeding the legacy of a particular great spiritual person, or inheriting anywork of a representative nature done by God in some other age People don't need to worry about any of these things. God now has a different style of speech and action, so why do people confuse themselves? If people walk today's path contained in the Current while continuing the legacy of their "ancestors," they will never reach their destination. GOD FEELS A STRONG DISGUST for this particular class of MAN'S BEHAVIOR, just as He HATES the YEARS, MONTHS and DAYS of MAN'S WORLD. 🙏
From "The WORD Appears in the Flesh". holy book
Fulfilled in "In the beginning He was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). ... and (Ezekiel 2:9-10). ... "His garment was stained with blood. He was called the "Word of God" (Rev. 19:13).
📩 All who have "ears to listen" are led to what the Spirit of God is saying in His lowered and built kingdom/Church engraved with His new name, His totality, the ownership of this disposition, "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD "💐 fulfillment from what was said He to Peter 2,000 years ago recorded in (Matthew 16:18-19). His Coming is the fulfillment of all that was prophesied in the great book of Revelation, so the last "Salvation" He brought the whole truth, the way for eternal life. So the "victorious" ones who will receive them are the wise "virgins" because as recorded in the prophecy of His return no one knows it except the one who will receive it! So "come" and come to His kingdom/church standing in the holy place in the air/TH-cam! This is also a fulfillment from the book of (Isaiah 2:2/9:6) which He first fulfilled in His first incarnation. 📥
"They say with a loud voice, "Salvation comes from the Lamb, and from our God who sits on the Throne!" (Rev. 7:10). ... and (Isaiah 2: 2 / 9:6) "On the Last Day, the mountain on which Jehovah's temple stands will stand out above all the mountains. All nations will flock there. " . "For a baby boy is born to us. The rule will be given to him; and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." ☀️
I wouldn't mind having an extra grandpa. This is pure joy for these kids

I would of loved any grandparents sadly mine died before I was born.. I live in the uk and we tend to keep ourselves which is sad 😔
I adopted my 80 something next door neighbor, buy shoveling her snow and giving her extra food and household supplies that I have! She's a hoot!❤❤
Me too
It’s easy to love, it’s hard to hate. Paul is a beautiful man. Those children must bring him so much joy.
Unfortunately I wish that was true. For some people it's the other way around. I'm glad that it's true for him
She has the cutest kids, I'm glad they were so welcoming him into their family.
How is it hard 😅look at history look at what's going around the world now. If love was common this wouldn't have even made the news. Open your eyes
nah its pretty easy to do both
Easy on the soul.
When I moved into my current address my daughter became attached to this elderly couple upstairs. The husband is a retired veteran and wife a retired seamstress. They are my kids grandparents for now 8 years and I am eternally grateful for them. My kids both run into their arms and say grandpa and grandma with the biggest smile everyday to them.
Family does not always have to be blood related. My best friends children call me Uncle and my best friend is like a brother to me. Would never change that for anything.
@@jakereinke5473My wife is black and her grandma lived in a multicultural senior building. There was a Korean woman with a thick accent named Ms Lee who called her “my grandbaby”. She said it and opened her arms for a huge hug even when her actual grandkids visited from South Korea.
That is BEAUTIFUL. I bet that couple are so very happy due to your daughter 😊
As a child we had an elderly couple as neighbors who we'd call grandma and grandpa. Actually the whole neighborhood did. We would go to their house, have lunch there sometimes. They were lovely.
“Love Thy Neighbor”
-God
YESSS
Amen✝️🙏❤️
I love Jesus man.
Love thy neighbor as thyself-God
🙌🏾
I love how the older generation knows their neighbors. This is old school. ❤
I've lived @10 states in ye US other countries I always make sure I know my neighbors. When I was younger people didn't move as much as jobs were more secure. As I got older it was just meeting new people and now ya need to also know for security reasons sadly enough. I'm also a people person. If I don't see someone for awhile I worry about them especially seniors. I'm 65 now but the world has not taken away my joy of meeting someone new. I also smile and say hello to the homeless person on the street. It doesn't cost a dime to acknowledge and possibly make someone's day. They !ay be down on their luck but they are still our fellow citizens.
@agl5132 that's a very sweet way to live. I am also a people person, I make conversation with others in the check out line. I think covid and all the new technology has ruined the youths ability to communicate with each other. People skills are integral to life. I am a mother now and I try to be as aware of my surroundings and neighbors as possible. It's not nosy, it's necessary! Lol please take care, and continue spreading the kindness. Ps- I married an introvert, go figure 😄
I think we need a little bit more of some old fashioned love and kindness that we seem to put away because we are too busy doing everything else
Yea, they love that segregation. That was old too
old school for Americans perhaps... any country I've lived in everyone knows their neighbors, regardless of age.
I'm not crying.... Something just got in my eyes....
Why can't we all be like this?
I agree.. and I also got something in my eye..
What a beautiful story. Brought tears to my eyes. Why can’t we all be like this?
❤️❤️❤️
Because most white people are mean 😢except for for this neighborhood ❤❤
Amen 🙏😊
Same , really beautiful bond of neighbours. God bless them ❤
Sadly everything in america nowadays is about race.
The fact that we don’t see stories like this often is sad…
Yes. I think these kinds of connections are forged all the time, though - they just don't make the news because it isn't scandalous or sensational. I guess most news sites assume we would rather read about carjackings or domestic disputes?
How is it sad? Pretty sure there's lots of cases like these, not everyone posts their lives online and not everyone wants a news segment about their personal lives put on tv. Just because you dont see it, doesn't mean it's not happening
I pleasantly suspect there are millions of such unreported gestures......but its a beautiful story
I do actually. Focus sis! Tweak that algorithm lol
Because this kind of story will cause unity.
The man is just trying to live his last days happy without his wife, GOD bless the family for giving him joy 👍👍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How SWEET was he to offer the car seats right away
Really. They could have just lived next to each other and not interacted at all. This is the kindness I want to share in 2024.
Thats 1 old fella who hasn't wasted his yr's, his wife would have been smiling on him, diamond guy!!
Yes, a good opening! lol
The same thing happened to my father, before he died.After my mom died, my father a Jamaican lived alone in their family home in Florida.On the opposite side of the street was a young American white couple with their kids.They loved my father so much, they practically adopted him.The kids loved to spend time with him.The parents regularly brought him meals, took him to the doctor, go for walks with him etc.Unfortunately, us, his own adult kids were living too far away in other states.I was living in Italy at the time.When the parents called me and told me that I needed to come soon because he was in his last days, I immediately boarded a flight.Fortunately I arrived just in time.Thank you Michelle and Beau! Your love and care will forever stay in my heart.
That’s beautiful! I’m so glad God brought them together
My question is why weren’t you there to be with your father tho and left him all alone ? I’m glad the family stepped up ❤and adopted him as grandpa he had someone to check up on him and really cared for him
@@RAINBOW-lx6wddid you even read where she stated that she lived in Italy and her father lived in Florida? Not exactly a 30min drive.
@@yvettecarpenter2284 Okay! Like with my daddy, he wouldn't come live with us because my mom's memory was in his house and her grave. Even I flew home several times a year just to go to her grave and more to see daddy, the kids spent one summer month with him annually, but he ultimately still lived alone in a big house. Lots of reasons we cannot be there, my husband required me to go with him for his job.
@@yvettecarpenter2284why live in Italy tho
This is what America is. I am not crying. you're crying.
When the little kids want to hug you, you know that's their grandpa.
her reaching her little hand out for him at the end🥹 precious
Or Pawpaw as we say in the South.😉😉😉❤❤❤
“Children are precious” yup & so are our senior citizens 🫶🏽💕💕

“I’ve never met a person I didn’t like. It’s easy to like, it’s hard to hate.” ❤️
This is the era that I grew up in. We adopted our older neighbors and made them part of the family. They watched us while we played and gave a feeling of security. No anxiety, no social awkwardness. The parents talked to one another and helped one another. Grandparents who did not have biological family near by had village families. We were blessed.
That’s beautiful, man. 🍻
It takes a village!❤️🔥❤️🔥
Good times. We didn't lock our doors. People laughed. People loved. People were connected. Golden years...
Yes. Our older neighbor kept an eye on all of us. I didn't know until she passed, and everyone had a card with a copy of their key returned. Everyone trusted her that much.
There absolutely was anxiety, social awkwardness, depression, crime, hate and pain in every era. Rose colored glasses don't change facts, they just make ppl forget. All those things existed, the only difference now is they're openly discussed and help is now available. Let's stop acting like the world used to be perfect because it never was
Paul has learned in his 82 years that LOVE is the answer. And that GOD Is LOVE. Enjoy your Grandpa. They don't grow on trees. GOD bless you ALL.
So true! And, I love boba too!
@@paanne1013 Aww... You sure would have. She's my Grandmother and she went on to Glory in January of 2000. GOD bless you, Friend. Continue being a light.
Where in this video did Paul say anything abt God?? Stop injecting religion into everything. This is a story abt decent kind ppl, no religion required.
Amen ❤
@@Cara-39 How about you let people be with what makes them happy, you bitter troll.
He needed them. They needed him. This is what neighborhood is all about!
Paul is so sweet ❤🥹. My family moved to a neighborhood where we were the only Black family and we had a neighbor like Paul. Ms. Melba ❤ she lived next door. We would share our gardens 🥰 . I would go over to house to talk… I’ve always loved talking to the elderly… I was 7 years old going to go play with Ms. Melba. Her son worked for a snack company and when he came to visit her he found out she had a little friend 😁, he started bringing me bags of snacks… I couldn’t believe it ❤🥹🥰 I was thankful ☺️. I remember all the kids asking me why I got those snacks,… at that time I didn’t really know why… but as I got older I realized that I was the only child that visited her house just to talk and play 😊. My parents and Ms. Melba shared gardens ❤. No one else on our block talked to Ms Melba …. She was my first friend in my new neighborhood Thank you Ms Melba ❤ love u 😘
Awe 😭😭 That's amazing. I Love it. Where I work there are a lot of elderly people who come and just sit all day just to have connections with the world and they tell me every day how much they enjoy me just talking to them because when they go home they are alone, no wife, husband and or kids. It brings my heart joy just knowing that I help make their life a little better just by the communication.
You're a beautiful soul, even as a little child. 💜
@@QueenD491 🥹🥰🥲❤️🥰 that’s beautiful…. You give them more than you know ❤️❤️❤️❤️. We need more people that care in this world 🌎. The elderly just want to be apart of the world like everyone else ❤️❤️❤️❤️ keep doing what you’re doing…. You’ve touched my heart 🥰🙏🏽
Wow!! I’m about to cry!! Beautiful sharing. Blessings to you!! -JESUS is LORD-
I just know Mrs. Melba thought of you as her own grand baby. The love you two shared will carry on. I have no doubt she’s watching over you and is proud of the woman you’ve become.🙏
@@SnowAnayathatweirdgirl thank you 🙏🏽☺️🥰❤️
This is how neighbors should be.
I agree. The upstairs neighbors too. 😅
On ideal world but this world is dark with creeps in it.
I usually like to keep my space with neighbors but in this situation paul seems like a nice guy and hes older and alone so probably wouldn't mind it.
Aww he walked him back across the street 😊 this is so sweet
That was kind of him
Made me smile
This is what true love between people of the world looks like. They didn’t have to do that for him but cared enough about him to let him into their family and stay, that’s real appreciation and love
He really said "I've never met a person I didn't like" 🥺🥺🥺
He is golden😇❤️
Reminds me of this qoute I love “ I love nearly everyone I have ever met”
It's nice to see people that don't judge by color of skin, but their character.
The kids walk him back to his door, then he makes sure they got home safely!!! Love it!!!
LOVE HAS NO COLOR. THIS IS PROOF OF THAT. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
or better, love has ALL color!
Nothing but the truth this was heartwarming to watch ❤️
I am a 76 year old women who had a dad that used the same words as this grandpa used...do not pass up an opportunity to meet some one for fear you may be missing the best friend you will ever have in life. Best lesson I learned !! Miss you dad
Same age as Trump, Trump looks good for his age
This reminds me so much of our neighbor Alice an old black woman we, my siblings and i cared alot for we were little but still remember her everyime we saw her we ran to say hello she would bring a piece of candy or something to give us she was so lovely kind hearted. She lived alone with llike 6 dogs. Sometimes when she got sick we visited her took her flowers or just to see if she may needed something. I remember every Sunday she would dress up to go to church looking so elegant. It was like that for many years untill she passed away 😭. We still have a picture of her in my moms house. I miss her i wish i would have been older to get to know her better.
Great story😊
@@michaelmaps2004 Thanks, yes its true😊.
Cool story bro, can't wait for the sequel.
@@jeffdur1330 the sequel is probably they now old and being a good neighbor; I don't doubt that Alice has influenced their family to be good to other people .
This is how the WHOLE world should be……
what's really sad, is that it could be.💓💓✌🏽✌🏽🕊🕊
I wish
💯❤
This is what God calls us to do is love each other. "Love thy neighbor as thy self" What a blessing for everyone
The epitome of that statement!!! This is the Lord's work!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ This is Love Incase you have been looking for the definition
I love how he said “you get many chances to talk to people. If you don’t take a chance, you may miss a friend you would have had.”
That’s how I see the world too. I try and talk to as many strangers as I can. Sometimes I make their day and it makes me happy. Go and strike up a conversation at the waiter or the grocery shop. It really makes your day too ☺️
so true ❤
that is right
That’s was really awesome wasn’t it. Such a true perspective!
“It’s easy to like, it’s hard to hate” Love this!
If only that 1 person who disliked this video could have the same mindset lol what could anyone possibly dislike about this video
THIS IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT
What a fantastic thing he said: "It is easy to love and it is hard to hate"!!!!
Frowning uses more muscles than smi!ing.
@@Rob774 You learn something new every day! Thank you.
Not healthy to hate either. For either the giver or receiver. 😊
I love this. One thing I have noticed in my life is that most people are not as bad as you think. A smile and a simple "Hello. How are you doing today?" is often all it takes to get the ball rolling. We live in a world where many of us are scared of each other, so we brace ourselves for tough interactions from the start. A little gentleness goes a longggg way ❤
I agree. Every time I go for a walk and say hello to my neighbors, I feel better about humanity. And why do we think people are worse then they are? Often because the news always focuses on the worst of us, not the best.
I think the media wants us to believe that certain races hate others, it is not true. Most people are like this family and the elderly man in the video, we just want peace in our lives. Stay sweet and kind, it will keep you happy!
Seriously!
@@paanne1013right. People complain so much about how they are treated, but sometimes its like are you complaining about something on TV or something that personally happened to you. Like hel
@@TheSpawnycatNot only that. We don’t trust people because we know they can use you for their selfish benefit. Most of people I met in my life don’t know how to listen or perhaps don’t want to listen. They just want to talk about themselves. That being said, people are often good for shallow relationship.
How precious! He gives them sweet memories and love. They give him life. Not all family is blood related.
Is that simple to get along. What a pleace America would be if we lived like this.
It will never ever happen. Union matters is the only time people can be friends
This brings a big smile on my face!
Mines too😁
God makes no mistakes ! Truly a blessing to all.
I'm happy but I'm crying. This is precious.
@brittanyhayes1043 me too. 😍😍😭😭😭😭
God bless them they are showing how to love thy neighbor
Amen
Amen
This is what the Love Of God looks like.
Angels are everywhere
Yes
Some people no.matter what color their skin is .are just born to be angels and the spreader of love and goodness in this world .what a wonderful family
How nice it is that you can and will do that for your elderly neighbour! And the children are learning valuable lessons from all if your interactions.😊
The children walked him home to made sure he made it safe, he turns around and walks them back to make sure they are safe. That moved me to tears! So beautiful ❤
My Grandmother used to do this! Lol, good memories...😍
Every family deserves a Paul, and every Paul deserves a family ♥️
yeah
We need more people like this guy. It warms my heart that they accepted this man as a honorary family member and how they watch out for each other. This is truly a beautiful story!!!
This is awesome! Kids can’t have too many caring adults.
That's what humanity should be. Neighbors helping neighbors.
What a beautiful story I’m so glad
I agree 👍🏽
This is what make America Great....
im 57 old white guy my dad passed in 2018 my mom in 2008 all my grandparents passed years ago. i helped a real nice black lady for years she passed in 2020 at age 92 she was a 5th grandparent to me when she passed it was like my mom or dad had passed i hope the rest of you can find a person like her she had a heart of gold
Elderly people make me happy...like kids
As I get older I need young people more then I knew ❤❤❤❤
Mr Paul is living his purpose
Community becomes family in the best cases
Thank you for giving this man a purpose for his life! Blessings to all. ❤
*I've lost all three of my grandfathers, which includes a step-grandpa. 😢 Oh, what I would do to live next door to such a loving and kind-hearted man. My two boys and I would adopt him in a heartbeat. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful testimony of what it means to LOVE THY NEIGHBOR and the children are being taught so many valuable lessons.* 🙏🏾
Never experienced having a grandparent. Only knew my Mom and Dad Must be wonderful❤
I never knew either of my grandfathers, as they both died before I was born. My partner and I don't have any kids and both live far from our biological families, but we moved next door to a couple with two young boys, and during the COVID lockdowns we spent a lot of time with them and now feel like extended family, going to all the kids' recitals, birthdays, etc. It is such a gift to really love your neighbors, and kids can never have too many loving adults in their lives!
I only had one set of grandparents and lost them when they were rather young, but do have wonderful memories of them growing up. We learn so much from them, so sorry you missed out on that.
There’s lots of really lonely people in nursing homes who would love to adopt you! Drop by some with your kids sometime with some coloring supplies you’ll have at least two before the day is over!
@@LD-kk6gh I was just going to say this. Too many ppl in nursing homes don't get any visitors and would be delighted to spend some time with kids. Your coloring books idea is a great one; it's an easy ice breaker and is something in which everyone can participate in their own way
Beautiful story. We older folks have a lot to offer. People tend to forget about us.
My dad passed last year , but the neighbour kids called him grandpa Don.
He used to supervise the kids when they were outside playing, and his dog always played with them.
The neighbour came over when we found my dad and told us all these stories about him .
They used to draw pictures for him, make him Christmas cards and food .
Stop it... This is literally what I needed today. People love to just disregard the elderly because sometimes it's tough to try and slow down so they can keep up, be it mentally or physically. These people are making sure his glory years arent filled with loneliness, but filled with the love that comes with a family.
Yes this is such a wonderful gift
We Are ALL GOD'S Children and Should all take note of this lovely family's example! May GOD continue to Bless you all !
If all people in the world could copy this family. God would be pleased with us all ❤
My brother and his family kinda have a neighbour like that too. Their neighbour lives alone and doesn't have any family. Every week the whole family goes to visit him and it makes him so happy. He loves the kids and they often make drawings and other artsy things for him. There are many lonely elderly that would love visits like this.
Happy to see that he took the first step to welcome the family to the neighborhood. God bless them all 😊😊😊
I see Americans showing love and assistance to their fellow Americans. It's beautiful
This is sweet. Nothing wrong with adopting elderly people. They deserve love and care too.
Too many teaching hate. We all need to adopt these neighbors’ philosophy. Easy to love. Hard to hate. Great words.
Finally a feel good story.
I love this video!! This is about real people and humanity!! I'm old and I would do the same thing!! This is what our country needs now!! Loving, kind and caring people!! What a wonderful video!!
Love this family so beautiful this is what the world needs more love and compassion ❤
That sir is some kind family. Blessings!💕
Man, such a simple thing and i guarantee that means the world to him. So many seniors are lonely and they deteriorate because they spend all their time alone with nothing to do. Kids especially keep them lively.
I know it's giving "aww poor me?" But having no living parents or grandparents and not even being 40 I would love something like this to happen. Because truthfully and I only say this because it's from behind a screen, it's so much harder than I expected and I'm struggling to deal with the loss of my last parent (Mom earlier this year). I feel like I'm just in freefall somedays and I'm too embarrassed to ask for emotional support from my family because they too are grieving, and I've always been the "stoic" one.
I'm in literal tears now (sorry!) but please if you're fortunate enough to have your parents/grandparents around and they're a part of your life but life seemingly always gets in the way of you spending time with them, SORT IT OUT and prioritise them.
Paul is a Godsend. I hope they continue to love on each other. Very sweet family. 💙💙💙
i miss my grandpa😢
Human kindness at its best... We should appreciate our elderly, God bless you grandpa
Everyone should embrace an elder when they are alone!!! they have much to give and share!!!!
I wish this was what the majority of the news was. We need more of this. Amazing and heart warming.
@@MMathis-cu7ew thank you for that. Much appreciated.
This is the kind of stuff that renews my faith in humanity! What a beautiful story!
People need people! God bless them all !!!
What a great story! If you want to adopt a 'grandpa' or 'grandma', look around your neighborhood. I have one in my neighborhood. We keep an eye on each other. She calls on us when she needs help or if she sees someone lurking about the neighborhood. Great neighbor!
The most beautiful thing I have seen in years! Please, world, follow this example and opportunity. Open your arms and hearts 💕
What a beautiful and wholesome story!! My heart is ❤❤❤
Such a beautiful story . We need more of these ❤
That’s so sweet. Everybody needs LOVE 💕
“I always try to leave people smiling.”
Mission accomplished Paul.
Protect Mr.Paul at all costs,
He’s soooo invited to the barbecue, love this for him
I really miss my grandparents.
Good example of how people need each other. He needed them as much as the kids will benefit from him.
Aww! This man’s golden years are being filled of love and happiness by this family ! God Bless Grandpa and his adopted family ! ❤
Good neighbors are precious, they have greater value than money or possessions.
My neighbour was part of my family. She was at all our birthdays, any party, or just because. We were in each others houses multiple times a week. I loved her like a grandmother and we just lost her last week. Our lives will never be the same.😢
I am so sorry for your loss
Im sorry for your loss 🙏🏼❤️
I am very sorry for your loss. She knows how much you loved her!!!
