[rsnippet id="3" name="Article-Ad"] Davie'onna was celebrating her fourth birthday with friends and family. Jeff was there separately, enjoying some family time. But it turns out God put Jeff at the pool for a much bigger purpose!Spotting Danger
Jeff instantly knew there was trouble when he noticed a man carrying what looked like a "lifeless" child out of the water."I had investigated several drownings before in my career and the ones that didn’t make it always had that foam around their nose and mouth area," Jeff said. "When I saw that on her, I just thought the worst."Things grew even more dire when Jeff searched for a pulse on Davie'onna without success. And so, he immediately began performing CPR. Things were tense, but finally after several rounds, the off-duty cop revived the little girl.
"I felt her heart rate go from literally 0 to about 100 — just like that," Jeff recalled.RELATED: Mom Shares Story Of Baby’s Near Drowning As Water Safety Reminder Davie'onna was barely holding on. Jeff scooped her limp body up into his arms, and raced over to an arriving ambulance. Terrified, Kiara Greene, the girl's mother, hopped into the ambulance, which rushed Davie'onna to the hospital. Fearing the worst, Kiara couldn't believe her ears when doctors said there were no signs of brain damage.
"It was a miracle," Kiara said. "That's why I call Jeff her guardian angel."[caption id="attachment_38241" align="aligncenter" width="750"] Credit: Bay County Sheriff's Office[/caption] Jeff came by later to check on Davie'onna, carrying with him a teddy bear to give to the little girl. He was equally amazed and grateful to hear the good news. RELATED: Handsome Police Officer Becomes An Internet Sensation After Rescuing Woman The two now share a special bond. They met up again at Davie'onna's make-up birthday party -- a party that never would have happened if not for Jeff's brave actions. It's something Kiara will never forget.
"I'm just so grateful," she said. "With everything that's going on in the world right now, there's still awesome people like him."You never know when God might call you to save a life. We're so glad God put Jeff at the pool that day, and that Davie'onna will get to enjoy plenty more birthdays! h/t: Today [rsnippet id="2" name="ArticleAd-300x250-3"] YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Police Officer Credits God With Helping Him Save A Choking Baby [caption id="attachment_31910" align="aligncenter" width="750"] Credit: Facebook / Kenneth Knox[/caption]

Worrying does nothing to benefit our lives in any way; it only takes away. It takes away the present moments and present joy you could experience, not to mention it takes away from a peaceful life.
