Are You God's
Wife?
An Eye Witness Account from
New York City, on a
cold day in December: 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 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 in his eyes, answered the
question with these words: "Are you
God's Wife?"
