God's Wife
A friend sent me this e-mail.
God's Wife
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.
*********************************************
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.'

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?'

Re: God's Wife
We can all be "God's wife" occasionally- if we just look for the opportunities...
