ARE YOU GOD’s WIFE

It’s a cold day in December. A little boy about 10-year-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 and went into the store, and asked the clerk to get a half dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. He brought them to her. She took the boy to the back part of the store and washed his feet, and dried them. By this time the clerk had returned with the socks. She purchased the boy a pair pf shoes, and tying up the remaining pairs of socks, gave them to him.

As she turned to go, the astonished lad caught her by the hand, and with tears in his eyes, answered the question with these words, “ARE YOU GOD’s WIFE?”
