On November 9, a Ccon Rapids, MN police officer made a traffic stop. Inside the vehicle, the officer found a mother and father and 5 small children.
The family told the officer they were homeless and planned to sleep in their car. Temps overnight were expected to drop to 10F. The officer was afraid the family, particularly the children, might freeze if they slept in the car overnight.
The officer tried to find emergency shelter for the family through normal channels, but had no luck.
The officer then helped transport the family to a local hotel, where the officer personally paid for the room.
The officer has not been named and does not want recognition.
This is a wonderful example of what Christ preaches: caring for the poor and needy.
Luke 6:38 says:
“Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
