An Eye Witness Account from New York City, on a cold day in December:
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 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 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. 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 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.
She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and 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?"
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real !
When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one, which has been opened for us.
ü Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
ü Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
ü Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; Be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet...enough trials to make you strong ...enough sorrow to keep you human ...and enough hope to make you happy
