> 'What does it mean to be adopted?' asked

> 'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew

> 'Really,' I said. 'I have to say you

> 'Discouraged?' the boy asked with a

> Jamie was trying out for a part in the

> On the day the parts were awarded, I went
> with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her,

> 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, and 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?'
