THE
BRICK
A young and successful
executive was traveling down a neighborhood
street,
going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was
watching for kids darting out from between
parked
cars and slowed down
when he thought he saw
something. As his car passed, no children
appeared.
Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side
door!
He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag
back to
the spot where the brick had been thrown. The
angry
driver then jumped out of the
car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up
against a parked car shouting,
'What was that all about and who are you? Just
what
the heck are you doing? That's a new car and
that
brick you threw is going to cost a lot of
money. Why
did you do it?' The young boy was apologetic.
'Please, mister...please, I'm sorry but I
didn't
know what else to do,' He pleaded. 'I threw the
brick because no one else would stop...' With
tears
dripping down his face and off his chin, the
youth
pointed to a spot just around a parked car.
'It's my
brother, 'he said 'He rolled off the curb and
fell
out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him
up.'
Now sobbing, the boy
asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please
help
me get him back into his wheelchair? He is hurt
and
he is too heavy for me.'
Moved beyond words,
the driver tried to swallow the rapidly
swelling
lump in his throat He hurriedly lifted the
handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then
took
out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the
fresh
scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him
everything
was going to be okay. 'Thank you and may God
bless
you,' the grateful child told the stranger. Too
shook up for words, the man simply watched the
boy!
push his wheelchair-bound brother down the
sidewalk
toward their home.
It was a long, slow
walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very
noticeable, but the driver never bothered to
repair
the dented side door. He kept the dent there to
remind him of this message: 'Don't go through
life
so fast that someone has to throw a brick at
you to
get your attention!' God whispers in our souls
and
speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't
have
time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us.
It is
our choice to listen or not.
Thought for the Day :
If God had a
refrigerator, your picture would be on
it.
If He had a wallet,
your photo would be in
it.
He sends you flowers
every spring.
He sends you a sunrise
every morning. Face it, friend - He is crazy
about
you!
Send this to every
'beautiful person' you wish to
bless.
God didn't promise
days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun
without rain, but He did promise strength for
the
day, comfort for the tears, and light for the
way.
Then Why are you worried about
the rain and thunder storm for a day or two.
Children have holidays, relax and do not forget to register your names as
volunteers

Read this line very
slowly and let it sink in...
If God brings you to it,
He will bring you through it.
