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 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,
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 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 his eyes, answered the question with
these words: “Are you God’s Wife?”
