Nikki Prater was pulled over by a Vernon police officer because her tag light was out. Her 11-year-old son, Collin, wanted to shake Officer Chris Freeman’s hand to show his appreciation for all that police officers do.

Boy Prays Over Police Officer

After Officer Freeman returned from running their license and insurance, Nikki asked if her son could shake his hand and pray for him, and the officer agreed.

The mother and son then got out of their car, and Collin prayed for the officer and others, thanking them for their service.

What a wonderful way to express appreciation for our brave officers. We are so glad they shared this touching moment with us.

Verse of the Day

“And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. So they said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet: ‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, Are not the least among the rulers of Judah; For out of you shall come a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.’ ””
