Two police officers in Cedar Hill, Texas, were on lunch break and had just sat down at a table at a local diner when they were approached by a 5-year-old girl named Chloe. Chloe wanted to ask the officers something. Could she pray with them before they ate? The gesture touched Marshals Herron and Wallace and of course they agreed. Chloe’s dad took a photo of the moment and shared it on social media where it has since gone viral.
The police department also posted the photo and wrote, “Today, while eating lunch, 5 year old, Chloe, approached Cedar Hill Marshal’s Herron and Wallace and asked them if she could pray with them. Marshals Herron and Wallace admit they’ve never had anyone pray with them and that her prayer was so beautiful. Her dad captured this photo of her praying with the officers and sent it to us. Our thanks to him for sharing this act of compassion with us.”

Chloe’s dad Jared thanked everyone for their kind words and wrote, “We can’t thank you enough for all the wonderful comments about our daughter. The real thanks goes to the officers, who took the time out of their busy day to bless our daughters, Chloe and Clarke. The appreciation goes both ways, and we thank you and your fellow officers for your service because it extends beyond protection, and for two little girls it’s connecting with real life heroes.”
