The small boy walked away from his mother as they were inside of the Walmart. Once she found him a few minutes later, she initially wanted to reprimand him for wandering off\u2026 until she d\u2019iscovered what he\u2019d been up to.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had to run into Walmart. I turned around to make sure my son was next to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
When the mom finally found her son, he was kneeling at one of the benches towards the front of the store. At first, she didn\u2019t quite understand what he was doing. Then she n oticed it looked as though he was praying\u2026 but still, why?!
\nThat\u2019s when the c\u2019onfused mother looked above the boy\u2019s head at the board hanging on the wall. \u201cEvery second counts,\u201d the poster read. That\u2019s when Mom realized what he\u2019d been doing this whole time.<\/p>\n
\u201cInstead of finding him by my side I found him kneeling in front of the m issing children board praying.\u201d
\nThe simple yet powerful image went v\u2019iral, and readers with m\u2019issing loved ones across the country instantly connected with the em\u2019otional moment captured in time. Another Facebook page called Bring Aubrey Home recognized a child in one of the photos hanging on the wall as Aubrey Jayce Carroll, a teenage boy from George who went mi\u2019ssing in 2016.<\/p>\n
One Facebook commenter said it best: \u201cWhether or not you believe in God really doesn\u2019t matter. This was a child in Walmart who was thinking about others and doing the only thing he could to help. The world would be a better place if everyone followed his example.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
