John Bacchus Dykes
The Lord and The Cop
One day in heaven . . . the Lord decided he would visit the earth and
take a stroll..
Walking down the road, the Lord encountered a man who was crying.
The Lord asked the man, "Why are you crying, my son?"
The man said that he
was blind and had never seen a sunset.
The Lord touched the man and he
could see and he was happy..
As the Lord walked further, he met another man crying and asked, "Why are you crying, my son?"
The man was born a cripple and was never able to
walk.
The Lord touched him and he could walk and he was happy..
Farther down the road, the Lord met another man who was crying and asked, "Why are you crying, my son?"
The man said, "Lord, I work for the Police Department and never get any respect even though everyday I put my life on the line to make the people of the City safe,"
and the Lord sat down and cried with him.
