Hope & Faith

A teen stepped in and helped save his stepdad during an emergency. The young man wasted no time and knew exactly what to do when his stepdad experienced a heart attack. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear what the young man did that helped to save his stepdad’s life.

Life is a series of wholly and completely unexpected events. Anyone who says they know what is going to happen tomorrow, the next day after or any day after that is either insane or a liar. Sure, we all have vague, general ideas of how things may turn out, but to say we know exactly how events will go is a lie.

Sadly, because of the unpredictability of life, loved ones and friends can be here one minute and gone the next. None of us are promised tomorrow. A clip posted on YouTube mentions how one family nearly lost one of its members, but a teenager stepped in and knew exactly what to do to help keep his stepdad alive.

The clip states that Michael Reese had suffered a “massive heart attack” and was found near the bottom of the stairs by his wife, Jennifer. Jennifer and her 15-year-old son, Anthony, called 911, who said they needed to begin performing CPR on Michael immediately.

Jennifer had no idea what to do, but Anthony did and jumped right in and started performing the life-saving maneuver.

“He never told me he learned CPR,” Jennifer said. “He was staying very composed. It was me that was panicking.”

Less than 10 minutes later, first responders were on the scene and provided Michael with the much-needed medical help. However, he still understands how vital Anthony’s swift and decisive actions were in that moment.

“He’s the reason I’m here today,” Michael said. “I thank him for my life.”

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and a of a sound mind.”
