Mom discovers son kneeling in prayer in Walmart

Young Braydon accompanied his mother one day to shop at major US food chain Walmart. They hadn’t been there long, however, before his mom was struck with panic when she realized Braydon had disappeared.

After a few minutes of fear-fuelled searching, his mother found him.

Her first instinct was to tell him off him for leaving her side. Yet when she saw him knelt down, praying in front of a sign board, she stopped to wonder just why. Then she took a closer look at the wall …

Losing a child, even if only momentarily, is every parent’s worst nightmare. Of course, it’s not an uncommon thing, especially in places where there are large crowds of people, such as shopping malls and big food stores. For Braydon’s mom, this was the case. She was in a hurry to get her shopping done quickly at Walmart – one of the world’s largest and busiest retail chains.

When she eventually found him, Braydon was on his knees before a sign board. He was praying. She was surprised and so asked him what he was doing. After drawing closer to the board and taking a look, however, she got a better understanding of her son’s actions.

The board read: “Every second counts”. Beside those words were pictures of children who were missing. Little Braydon had left his mother’s side, seen the board and was praying to God that those children would return to their families.
