“Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble.” – 1 John 2:10
On 6 May 2020, Eyas Tran, 3 years old, was out for a walk with his mother, Minh Tran, in Hampton, New Hampshire. He noticed three newspapers stacked on Peggy Pilat-Roth’s steps.
One of Eyas’ favorite chores is taking the newspapers that are delivered to his elderly neighbor’s driveway and placing it on her doorstep.
When Eyas noticed there were already 3 newspapers on the doorstep, he promptly rang her doorbell. When Peggy didn't answer, his mom called the police. When police found Peggy, she had been trapped in a windowless basement room for 4 days.
Once she heard the door lock behind her, Peggy knew she had to be patient and wait for help. But she also knew her little neighbor would help her.
Now, Eyas is receiving an award
For his quick thinking that saved his neighbor's life, Eyas was given an award by the Hampton Police Department that is usually reserved for law enforcement officers.
When we love others, people see the glory of Jesus Christ. Today in prayer, praise the Lord for His love towards you and love others.
