Life is loaded with love, and with winners, who succeed without government programs.

This officer detained a homeless woman one night… sleeping in her car, but of course, a trespasser anywhere she was, so… off to jail?

He felt a heart tug. He himself grew up with a depressed single mom, and knew that night that this woman needed help, not punishment. So he dropped her off at a local women’s shelter, and never saw her again, until this moment. You can see from the photograph what an awful state she was in.

On this night, the PR folks of the police department faked him out. He was asked about the woman, and recalls that night and dropping her at the shelter, and meanwhile she was creeping silently into the room behind him.

Her name is Sophie, and she is now a happy, motivated career woman with resources to meet her life’s demands. She reckons that without his God-moment, she would be in some jail somewhere even now. His urge to do good seems to have catalysed her urge to strive and do better… and the shelter took care of her basic needs so she could focus on self improvement.

He had recently become a father, and had a few extra needs of his own, and she understood that she could help… and could thus return his favor from so long ago… and she knew policemen do not make a lot of money, so she brought him a few thousand dollars she had raised among friends and colleagues who understood what he had done for her.

She clearly has it all together, and then some. Thanks to his willingness to follow his heart and do what he believed was the right thing, her whole life has been unwrapped like a Christmas gift… and she is giving back.

Life is loaded with love, and with winners, who succeed without government programs… it helps us to remember that people can DO this. People can handle it. No taxpayer funding or politicians required.
