Nowadays, respecting elders is a social rarity. Children talk back, teens spend their time consumed by technology instead of bonding with family members and young adults are too busy with their own lives to help an older person in need.
Fortunately, there are still people out there who recognize an opportunity to step in and give our elders a hand. One such person is Chris Carter….
During a recent car trip with his family, Chris saw an older man hunched over pushing a large lawnmower. Instead of driving by, Chris turned to his wife Tara and did something amazing.
Tara shared what happened next with the Love What Matters Facebook page.
«This is one of the many reasons I love my husband. As we are driving home with Kylie and Gage, Chris suddenly turns the jeep around and says ‘Take the food home and come back and get me.’
I didn’t know what he had seen but said okay.»
«We pull up and Chris takes the push mower from this elderly gentleman.
I pray that my son learns from this and randomly helps people do things like his father does.»
Chris’ kind actions show their son how important it is to respect and honor our elders. We need more people like Chris in the world to show our youth how to act selflessly!
