A little boy about 10 years old was standing on the sidewalk in front of a
shoe store, 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 boy’s reply.
The lady took him by the hand and 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 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
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, 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 his own
question: “Are you God’s Wife?”
