What a blessing it is when young children do amazing things! A five year old boy named Noah Woods awoke to find his home on fire. Since the only way to safety was through his bedroom window, he helped get his younger sister and his dog out of the the house without incident. Then he alerted neighbors (his uncle) so that the rest of the family could be saved.

According to a Facebook post from the Bartow County Fire Department, 4 family members along with Noah were treated for smoke inhalation and minor burns, but no one was seriously injured. Noah will be rewarded by that fire department on Friday for his lifesaving efforts. The family also has a gofundme page set up to help them with expenses from the devastating fire.

Children can indeed be blessings from God and I know that this family is grateful for this young man’s quick thinking!
