ON A COLD DAY IN DECEMBER
ON A COLD DAY IN DECEMBER
This is an eye witness account which happened in the City of New York,
on a cold day in December...
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 half a dozen
pairs of socks 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. 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, 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?"
