“Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.” – Colossians 3:12

On the morning of 22 December 2019, a bus driver for the Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) was driving her route when she spotted something terrifying. Irena Ivic was on a busy freeway overpass when she saw a barefoot toddler wandering alone across the street.

Irena stopped her bus, ran across the street and picked up the child.

“Oh my God, I was so upset,” said Irena. “Baby was so scared and cried.”

The baby girl was unharmed. Irena then called authorities -- and the child fell asleep in her arms as the police arrived on the scene.

“I couldn't believe that somebody left the child on the street,” Irena said.

The baby’s mother had gone to a nearby church and the child had wandered off.

Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele honored Irena calling her actions “humanity at its best.”

“She did a lot more than her job. She did the right thing,” Abele said. “I don't take that kind of compassion for granted.”

In all that you do, be kind to one another. Today in prayer, praise the Lord that Jesus Christ is a living example of kindness.

God’s Word: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness” – Galatians 5:22
