Smith wanted to offer the man some money, but didnt have any cash.
I just nodded my head and waved to him with a smile, he shared onFacebook.
Before he could actually say anything, his son Justus extended 30 cents from his own pocket to donate.
Its almost as if he heard my thoughts and responded out loud.
A post shared by SuperSmiths!
I thought to myself Dude get over it.
I almost told our son by my inaction that what he had wasnt enough.
I almost showed him that what he sees as a good thing.
And is in fact a good thing.
Isnt good enough to make a difference in someones life.
I almost taught him that pride was more important than helping another human.
Ultimately, this was a teaching moment for Smith.
Leading by example is what weve been teaching him, he writes, so now let him lead.
He just turned 5.
That single kind gesture caused a chain reaction with the cars behind them that day in Nashville, Tennessee.
People followed and rolled down their windows to offer donations, too.
Facebook users have showered the little boy with praise and applauded Smiths parenting.
Who knew itd be our 5-year-old to start the blessing?
?
