Children never fail to amaze me. Some how their innocence always touch the heart of many.........
A little boy about eight years old was staning barefoot on the sidewalk in front of a shoe store, peering through the window and shivering in the cold. A lady approached the boy and siad," My, little fellow, why are you looking so earnestly in that window?"
"I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," the boy replied.
The lady took him by the hand, went i to the store, and ask the clerk to get half a dozen pair of socks for the boy. She also asked for a basin of water and a towel. He quickly brought them to her.
She the little fella to the back of the store and, removin her gloves, knelt down, wash his little feet, and dried them with a towel. After she put a pair of socks on the boy's feet, she bought him a pair of shoes, ited up the reamining pairs of socks, and gave them to him. She patted him on the head and siad" There, little fellow, do 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, asked earnestly, "Are you God's wife?"
