Young Boy Stops Police Officer On Way To School And Asks For Prayer
When a little boy on his way to school made an impromptu gesture, a police officer shared the good deed in the hopes of finding the boy to thank him.
While on patrol, Jan Dykes of the Louisville Metro Police Department was stopped by a kid who asked her a question.
“He stopped me and was like, ‘Hey, before you leave, would you mind if I prayed with you for your day and my day going to school?” Dykes said.
The child stopped the officer and made the special request as he was on his way to school, close to his bus stop.
“It was great,” she said, as per ABC local news station WTVM.
“He said, ‘I want to pray for this officer’s safety. I made a new friend. I really hope her day goes great, and hopefully she makes a lot of lives better and going to school and meeting new people.’ It was really great to think this kid had this much excitement.”
According to Dykes, the child’s generosity and openness astounded her. At the end of the school day, she even returned to the bus stop in an attempt to locate him, but she was unsuccessful.
‘It bought a lot of joy to me’
She wants the youngster to understand how much his gesture meant to her, even though she doesn’t know his name or where he lives.
“It brought a lot of joy to me for him to want to do that for me,” Dykes said.
“Often times people are thinking, ‘How can you go and help them?’ and it’s just nice to see he wanted to do that for me. It made me happy and see someone so young and moldable being so positive and wanting to be that light.”
Officer Dykes visits children before school while on patrol in the First Division. She was asked to pray for this guy.

In order for Officer Dykes to tell this young child how wonderful he is, I hope that these two can cross paths once more.
