GOD'S WIFE

Look out for The Last Story.....
It Will Pull Your Socks Up!!!!

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 winner  was:
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 hismother 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 baseball 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 ?'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Hope this put a smile on your face it
                               Sure did mine!
