Are You God's Wife?
From New York City, on a cold
day in December, some years ago, A little boy, about 10-years-old, was
standing before a shoe store on the roadway,
barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold.
A lady approached the young boy and said, 'My, but you're in such deep
thought staring in that window!'
'I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,'was the boy's reply.
The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk
to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked
if he could give her
a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her.
She took the little fellow to
the back part of the store and, removing
her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the
towel.
By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair
upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes.
She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him.. She
patted him on the head and said, 'No doubt, you will be more
comfortable now.'
As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and
looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her.
'Are you God's wife?'
