A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering in cold.
A lady approached the young boy and said, 'oh My, but you're in such deep thought staring at that window!'
'I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,' replies the boy.
The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to get a some 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 feel more comfortable now.'
As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with teary eyes , asked her, 'Are you God's wife?'
