A little boy, about 10 years old
was standing before a shoe store
on Broadway. Barefooted, peering
through the window and shivering
with cold. A lady approached the
boy and said, "My little fellow,
why are you looking so earnestly
in that window?"
"I was asking God to give me a
pair of shoes," was the boys reply.
The lady took him by the hand and
went into the store. She 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.
She took the little fellow to the back
part of the store. Removing her
gloves, knelt down, washed his little
feet and dried them with a towel. By
this time the clerk had returned with
the socks. Placing a pair upon the
boys feet, she purchased him a pair of
shoes. Tying up the remaining pairs of
socks, gave them to him. She patted
him on the head and said, "No doubt
my little fellow, you feel more
comfortable now?"
As she turned to go the astonished lad
caught her by the hand, and looking up
in her face with tears in his eyes,
answered the question with these words...
"Are you God's wife?"
