Stranger's Unexpected Kindness in IKEA Brings Woman to Tears
A stranger’s unexpected act of kindness in IKEA brought a woman, a mother of four, to tears.
Children are absolutely fantastic and one of the biggest and best ways the Lord blesses our lives. They bring so much joy, love and happiness, making for a much fuller and richer life. There really is nothing like being a parent and watching those little ones grow, learn and explore a whole new world.
But when raising children, not every moment is picture-perfect. It can often be quite the opposite. What used to be a fast, easy and straightforward errand before having children, like going to the grocery store, can become a long, drawn-out and emotion-filled situation after kids enter the picture. Every parent knows this to be 100% true.
In a video posted on social media, one woman recalls taking her four children to IKEA. Early in the video, she admits that she wasn’t setting herself up for success by taking four youngsters to the popular furniture outlet alone.
She also states that one of her children has special needs and requires additional attention at times. That child can get “quite overwhelmed and distressed in certain environments,” but predicting when this happens is hard to do.
As the mother was nearly finished in IKEA, the youngster became overwhelmed, which caused another of the four children, a 2-year-old, to throw a massive tantrum in the store. Mom tried responding to everyone’s needs while finishing her shopping trip. Mom needed a minute herself.
But that’s when something unexpected and extraordinary happened.
Instead of simply staring at the scene and walking on by, a woman approached the mother of four and asked how she could help. The mother of four was so overwhelmed by the kindness that she immediately burst into tears.
The woman stayed with the mother of four as she attempted to calm the children. She even helped walk the mother to her car.
“I cannot thank her enough for her kindness,” the mother said. “Her family was so patient, and the love and the kindness that she showed me in that moment was more than I could have ever hoped for.”
Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”
