We’ve all seen it happen: sometimes the stresses of travel may bring out the less desirable aspects of people.
People might become irate due to crowded areas, unanticipated delays, and general disarray. However, instead of losing patience on this particular day, one individual chose to act with extraordinary compassion, close to the spirit of Christ.
Laura Faulkner, a flight attendant with extensive knowledge of the highs and lows of air travel, witnessed this touching incident. She was so affected by it that she wrote about it on Facebook afterward. This is what took place.
She penned:
I adore searching for the positive aspects of life!
This adorable little 94-year-old woman boarded my plane today while I was flying up to Washington. She struggled to return to her seat since she was weak. There was some uncertainty about her proper seating arrangement. This amazing gentleman saw her predicament in the first class and pointed me out. “Will you kindly get her and place her in my seat so that I can take hers?” he asked. To retrieve her and take her to first class, he strolled back with me. She was moved.
“Never in my 94 years has someone done that for me,” the woman said as she gave him a strong embrace. I’m grateful, young man. She shed tears of appreciation.
It was astounding how his kind action affected everyone on the trip positively. Let us all strive to conduct small acts of kindness and support others around us, just like Christ did. Let us all strive to be good in this chaotic world.
Laura’s Facebook post was shared more than 9,000 times and had over 20,000 favorable responses.
The old grandmother was very moved by the man’s kind gesture, which also had a ripple effect on many other people. After giving some thought to the event, Laura sent out a pleasant and hopeful message. She urged everyone to actively seek out chances to show compassion and love in their daily lives and to actively embody the spirit of Christ in whatever they do.
