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 sidewalk, 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?'
