A cold day in December in New York 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 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, dried them with the towel. By the time the clerk had returned with the socks.Placing a pair upon the boys 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 her hand, and looking up in her face ,with tears in his eyes, answered the question with these words, Are you God's Wife?
