A little boy about 10 years old was standing on t=
he sidewalk in front of a shoe store, barefooted, peering through the windo=
w, and shivering with cold. A lady approached the boy and said, "My li=
ttle 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 re=
ply.
The lady took him by the hand and went into the store and a=
sked the Clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then ask=
ed if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought th=
em to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and kne=
lt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with a towel.
By t=
his 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?"
A=
s 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?"
