Are You God's Wife?

New York City: It's a cold day in December. A little boy about 10-year-old was standing before a shoe store on Broadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold. A lady approached the boy and said, "My little fellow, why are you looking so earnestly 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 and went into the store, and asked the clerk to get a half 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 a towel.

By this time the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she then purchased him a pair of shoes, and tying up the remaining pairs of socks, gave them to him. She patted him on the head and said, "No doubt, my little fellow, you feel more comfortable now?"

As she turned to go, the astonished lad caught her by the hand, and looking up in her face, with tears in his eyes, answered the question with these words:

 "Are you God's wife?"

With a Little Support, You Can Swim Freely

Sometimes, you can feel trapped and frustrated as a drowning man struggling in deep water, incapable to swim. You feel hopeless, helpless and at a loss what to do next, likewise, a little boat in a bumpy ocean without a safe place to put its anchor.


Nevertheless, there is always a way out and there is always a person you can turn to. If you communicate well, someone would listen and lend a hand to you to drag you up. If you move backward a step, you can find there is plenty of space for you. If you turn around, you can find that a helpful person is waiting for you at some corner.


If you are trapped, do the following:


-Be prepared; do not be despaired.


-Keep in high spirit; try to flow with life. If you really are drowned, it is over.

-Keep learning new knowledge and new skills. When the opportunity comes, you are ready.

-Make good judgment and turn to right people; otherwise, you can be kicked down.

-Communicate well with right people. Say right and do right with right people.

With a little support, you can swim well in the ocean of life. Likewise, with a Sterns Puddle Jumper Basic Life Jacket, even a three-year-old can swim freely in the water just like my little son.
