God's
Wife
IT
WILL KNOCK
YOUR SOCKS OFF
Author
and lecturer
Leo Buscaglia
once
Talked about a
contest he was
asked to
judge.
The purpose of
the
contest was to
find the most
caring child.
The
winners are:
1.
A
four-year-old
child, whose
next door
neighbor was
an elderly
gentleman, who
had recently
lost his
wife. Upon
seeing the man
cry, the
little boy
went into the
old
Gentleman's'
yard, climbed
onto his lap,
and just sat
there.
When his
mother asked
him what he
had
said to the
neighbor, the
little boy
just said,
'Nothing, I
just
Helped him
cry.'

Teacher Debbie
Moon's first
graders were
discussing a
picture of a
family. One
little boy in
the picture
had a
different hair
color than the
other members.
One of her
students
suggested that
he was
adopted.
A little girl
said, 'I know
all about
Adoption, I
was adopted..'
'What
does it mean
to be
adopted?',
asked
another child.
'It
means', said
the girl,
'that you grew
in your
mommy's heart
instead of her
tummy!'

On my way home
one day, I
stopped to
watch a Little
League base
ball game that
was being
played in a
park near my
home. As I sat
down behind
the bench on
the first-
base line, I
asked one of
the boys what
the score was
'We're behind
14 to
nothing,' he
answered
With a smile.
'Really,'
I said. 'I
have to say
you
don't look
very
discouraged.'
'Discouraged?',
the boy asked
with a
Puzzled look
on his face...
'Why
should we be
discouraged?
We haven't
Been up to bat
yet.'

Whenever I'm
disappointed
with my spot
in life, I
stop and think
about little
Jamie Scott.
Jamie
was trying out
for a part in
the
school play.
His mother
told me that
he'd set his
heart on being
in it, though
she feared he
would not be
chosen..
On
the day the
parts were
awarded, I
went
with her to
collect him
after school.
Jamie rushed
up to her,
eyes shining
with pride and
excitement..
'Guess what,
Mom,' he
shouted, and
then said
those words
that will
remain a
lesson to
me....'I've
been chosen to
clap and
cheer.'

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?'
