An eye witness account from New York City , on a cold day in December, some years ago: A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window,and shivering with cold. A lady approached the young boy and said, “My, but you’re in such deep thought staring in that window!” “I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,”was the boy’s reply.The lady took him by the hand, 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. 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 be more comfortable now.”

As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her. “Are you God’s wife?”

Guys, i hope this short story helps us to be like this woman- instead of fighting over one another- why not make yourself the reason why someone else has a smile on their face.- LEA

Lea, you are the reason for many smiles on many faces. You have such a beautiful spirit! As I mop the floor in my little corner of the universe, I strive to be a better person. Thank you for helping me to rededicate myself.

your BFF,

Walter

guys, thanks for all the wonderful comment- but the credit is not mine.

i'm just wishing, to live in a world not full of hatred, but full of love...(corny it may sound, but true!)

i know, you wish the same thing, too. won't be hard if we'll start it in our own selves.

i just love all my friends here in NL, like you are all my brothers and sisters- never met in person, yet has a special, special place in my heart.

Great, heartwarming story! Inspirational!

Thanks! Diane
