It's a cold day in December...New York City. 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 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 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 then 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?"
