"God's Wife"
An eye witness account 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?'
