Woman helps a young boy, who was shivering in the cold. She was floored by his response.
This is an eyewitness account that happened in the City of New York, on a cold day some time ago…
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 boy’s reply.
The lady took it by the hand, entered the store and asked the clerk to get half a dozen stockings for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel, and he replied: “Certainly,” and 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.
At that time, the employee came back with his socks. She put a pair on the boy’s feet, bought him a pair of shoes and tied the rest of the socks.
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?”
“Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.” -Hebrews 13:16
