Life is full of little moments that make all the difference.
Although we have a tendency to get caught in our own worlds and focus only on our private problems, the best moments in life are when we look outward. Connecting with others is what provides us meaning in our lives, and sometimes the best opportunities come when we least expect them.
One of these little moments happened at a Walmart in Georgia.
The story began when Brittany McKee and her husband were out shopping.
As they were walking through the store, McKee noticed that there was a woman lying on the ground. The woman was clearly in distress and fortunately, McKee was ready to spring into action.
With her EMT training, McKee knelt down to help the woman.
As it turned out, the woman had been on blood thinners and was feeling dizzy. As a result, McKee decided to arrange for an ambulance and to stay with her until it arrived.
Still, what happened next inspired her beyond belief.
One of the Walmart employees came and sat on the floor with the woman to help support her.
According to McKee, the entire experience was so moving that she had to create a Facebook post about it:
“He literally got down on the floor to serve her, not because he was asked to do it, he wasn’t, but because he wanted to. The media lately shows our country divided, filled with hate and racial tension, but this right here was one human being loving and serving another without condition of race or obligation. While we waited, another man stopped, knelt down and prayed over this woman. What I experienced today was love, kindness, and serving. We are human beings, each and every one of us regardless of how much pigmentation our skin has or doesn’t have. I couldn’t help but share because the media doesn’t seem to report this… the unity and the positive that occurs. This right here is real life, this is what it’s all about, not hate.❤️”
McKee’s post has since gone viral, being shared more than 500,000 times.
Moments like these are worth paying attention to.
As McKee said herself, all that mattered in that moment was taking care of a woman in need. In times when people are often so divided, simple stories like McKee and Jason’s are worth remembering.
Thanks to everyone who helped out that day!
