| An Eye Witness Account
from New York City, on a cold day in December... Hopefully,
this is the kind of thing that happens frequently, everywhere.....
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 boys
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, 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?" |
