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 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 of the store and, removing her
gloves, knelt down, washed his 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, and 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?"
