Yakema Harris said her son 2-year-old Messiah had vomited after returning from daycare. She thought he was feeling better until he suddenly laid down in the midst of playing and stopped breathing. Harris immediately called 911 and officer Dixon was the first to arrive at the scene.

He performed CPR and was able to revive the child.

“His eyes just opened. And once his eyes opened, the gravity of it all just hit,” Dixon said, describing it as “a rush of emotion.”

The young boy was taken to hospital and was doing well.

Yakema Harris calls officer Dixon her son’s guardian angel. “I think he is an angel sent here from God,” Harris said. “His presence was very needed at that time.”

Verse of the Day

“[Jesus Predicts His Death a Third Time] Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!””

Matthew 20: 17-19
