Galatians 6:9 We must not become tired of doing good. We will receive our harvest of eternal life at the right time if we do not give up.
Three police officers in Kalamazoo, Michigan took a break from enforcing the law this week to mow the lawn.
And no one in the community is complaining about it.
Officer Joe Hutson discovered a man in a wheelchair trying to mow his lawn. Officer Hutson radioed his partner, officer John Khillah, asking him to bring a second mower and weed trimmer and then took over the mowing job from the wheelchair bound man.
Officer Khillah brought the mower, trimmer and a leaf blower from the nearby Public Safety Station #2 along with Sgt. Ken Skibbe. The three men then mowed, trimmed and took care of the lawn trimmings for the homeowner.
“We are showing people our officers are committed to a service-oriented style of policing,” Capt. Jim Mallery said in an interview with the Kalamazoo Gazette last month.
The KPD reported the man’s lawn was “manicured to perfection” on the department’s Facebook page.
Yesterday, I watched the funeral of Hayward CA,s slain officer Sgt Scott Langer. My heart just broke for his family and fellow officers who do more for us than we ever think to do for them. I pray for all of them every where; it is never a risk free job. Without our police we would have anarchy, violence like it was in the dark ages long ago.
