This is a real good story that I came across somewhere....so felt like sharing it here......
Having been told by my husband's doctor about the stage of leukaemia he was in, I felt like a void for a while and then a sense of worthlessness of this existence overwhelmed me.Just to get back to normal, I went out for a walk but the world outside was gloomy,all draped in grey shades of snow.As I walked down the road on this chilly winter evening, I found him leaned against the glass pane of a show case staring intently at something.I drew near to find that this cute....around five year old boy was looking at a pair of shoes with wondering eyes.A chill ran down my spine on noticing that he was barefooted.
I called him,he came somewhat hesitatingly with a flushed look for being caught wanting something. This is what our culture ingrains in us very fast....that it's not right to have desires....it's not okay to want....and above all even if you do,it's not done to let others know about it.I took him along and went inside the store.Asked the salesman for a tub of warm water and a pair of socks.I washed his feet,wiped them,put the socks on his tiny feet and got him the shoes he was gazing at.
As we left the store,I bid him good bye and I turned to go, "Excuse me", he said,with tears in eyes "Are you god's wife?"
