A random act of kindness has brought fame and popularity to a New York City Police officer. When officer Lawrence DePrimo of Long Island, N.Y, ran into a barefoot homeless man sitting on the sidewalk (42nd street) as the world passes by, he knew he had to do something. He had to give this poor man a fighting chance as the cold season is already hitting New York. He realized that he could buy a nice pair of boots and socks for him. They were not any shoes. They are all-weather ones. A tourist from Arizona who witnessed this heartwarming story being taken place right in front of her decided to post the pictures online. The officer reached down to the homeless man and helped him put the boots on. Now that's what a true police officer is all about.
Are we not all proud of Officer DePrimo? Each one of us sees us in him! There are many other homeless and people in need everywhere we look! Reach out to give them some blessings!
DePrimo went into Sketchers and bought a pair of size 12 boots and socks for the stranger. The homeless man told DePrimo that he had never had a pair of shoes before. "Let's take care of you now," said Officer DePrimo who squatted down to put the socks and shoes on the homeless man.
What are you willing to do for somebody today?
This story should remind us that we can still have faith in others.
