Grandfather Holds Baby For A Stranger In The Waiting Room And It's The Sweetest Thing

While trying to fill out paperwork, a mother was struggling to hold her baby and get the paperwork done. An amazing man offered to help her. The mom says that she felt good especially when they began talking with one another. She explains that it felt right.

How Grandfather Holds Baby Inspires Us All

The woman who took the photo said it was as if the grandfather holding the baby was holding one of his own grandchildren. She says it was a touching sight and something that she had never seen before in the office. The mother explains how in the midst of our world of bad news, “it felt good to see something positive for a change.”

This video inspires us to look out for the interests of others, not just our own. As Christians, we are called to love like Jesus.

Whether it is holding a sleeping baby or reaching out to a stranger we encounter, may this video challenge us to keep our eyes out for others in need. Had this man ignored the mom and gone about his day, he would have missed an incredible opportunity to help her. We do not want to sit by and miss out on showing the love of Christ with the world around us.
