Proverbs 19:17 NCV Being kind to the poor is like lending to the Lord; he will reward you for what you have done.
A New York police officer is being hailed after literally giving the shirt off his back.
Officer Carlos Ramos, a member of the NYPD transit bureau’s anti-terrorism unit, was searching for suspicious packages or activity in Manhattan when he found a homeless man shivering and ripping up his T-shirt to wrap his bare feet.
The man, Robert William, had gotten his boots wet on a morning with temperatures well below freezing.
Ramos took off his sweatshirt and handed it to the man so he could warm up. Police officials say it’s not the first time the 29-year-old has taken extra steps to help those in need in the community.
“I’ve helped out other people, especially when it’s cold,” Officer Ramos told the New York Daily News. “A nice cup of coffee, a tea, whatever seems appropriate… always wanted to help those that need help, protect the city, protect the country.”
Give and it shall be given unto you pressed down and running over! Bless the officer that feels compassion for others he will be rewarded.
BLESS HIM !!!
Thank God there are still some compassionate people around.
