A little girl, a little Jesus, and a whole lotta love

Four-year-old Henslee Ivester may be little, but she’s got a big heart. While out with her dad, Jeremy Ivester, on Father’s Day weekend, Henslee spotted police cars parked nearby. Her mom, Jessica Ivester, says her young daughter knew exactly what she wanted to do.

With tiny hands and a heart full of love, Henslee placed small figurines of Jesus on the vehicles. “For extra protection,” she said. It was her way of saying thank you to the officers who serve and protect her community.

Henslee’s simple act spoke volumes in a world often marred by hate and division.

“She just loves everybody,” her parents said.

A good lesson for kids of all ages on this Father’s Day Sunday.
