One cold evening during the holiday season, a little boy about six
or seven was standing out in front of a store window. The little
child had no shoes on and his clothes were mere rags. A young
woman passing by saw the little boy and could read the longing in
his pale blue eyes. She took the child by the hand and led him into
the store. There she bought him new shoes and a complete suit of
warm clothing. They came back outside into the street and the
woman said to the child, “Now you can go home and have a very
happy holiday.” The little boy looked up at her and asked, “are you
God, Ma’am?” She smiled down at him and replied, “No son, I’m
just one of His children.”
The little boy then said, “I knew you had to be some relation.”
