Advent Story

Great story:

A 47-year-old woman was caught stealing eggs in Tarrant, Ala., over the weekend. But instead of arresting Helen Johnson, police officer William Stacy bought her a carton of eggs in exchange for a promise never to shoplift again.

That wasn’t the end of it. The story garnered so much attention, that offers of donations of money, food and clothes poured in from around the world.

“The last time I saw my house this full, I was 12-years-old and staying with my grandmother,” Johnson, herself a grandmother, told the Birmingham News. “I’ve been crying all day.”
