She Approached This Cop At The Park To Pray For Him. Then Her Son Hands Him This

May 2, 2016

A woman driving with her two young children noticed a police officer parked by himself at a city park and decided to pull over. After their conversation, he asked to take a photo with her family.

This is what the officer wrote about the photo on his Facebook page:

"This lady saw me parked at a City park this morning and decided to stop. She exited her vehicle with her two children and approached me as I was seated in my patrol car. She simply stated that she wanted to pray for me. Specifically for my safety. I expressed my gratitude the best I could, but she really has no idea how much that meant to me. Her little boy handed me a wilted flower that looked as if it had been in his pocket for a week. At that moment, it was the most beautiful flower I'd ever seen. My prayer is that sharing this encounter will encourage many to give people a chance, regardless of race or profession. You simply cannot judge an entire group of people because of the actions of some. Don't hate evil more than you love good."
