A Childlike Faith

Paige with her police pals
 Paige Vazquez is both wise and mature beyond her years with a Christian faith that just oozes in her daily interactions with others. So it should be no surprise that she would see a group of policemen sitting at a restaurant table and offer to pray for them. But because that kind of gesture is so rare, even for adults, it caught the attention of onlookers who snapped a photo of this heartwarming interaction and made it go viral on social media. In a climate where we argue about who's life matters most and efforts to demonize and defund the police are rampant, its a breath of fresh air to see that people still care and especially children like Vazquez. 

"I know they have a rough time sometimes. And sometimes a little prayer could make someone's day, so I decided to do that in case they were having a rough day," says Paige when reporters asked about the motivation to boldly approach their table. Little did she know that this specific group of policemen were still mourning the loss of a colleague, Officer Miguel Moreno, who had been shot in the line of duty the prior month, sadly dying from his injuries. Rumor has it one of the officers was so moved by the kind gesture that it effected him the rest of the day as he "could not get over it."

"You should always pray for someone no matter what, like even, don't be afraid to talk about Jesus because it might just brighten someone's day and someone might do it for you too" advises Paige. Her mother Kat, who sat next to Paige through the Inside Edition interview must be proud. She is certainly raising a wonderful child and teaching her how to be a blessing to others. This world could use more kids like this and the compassionate disposition that seems to flow so naturally from her.
