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.'(sorry
Now
sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, 'Would you please help
me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's 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's 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.
Read
this line very slowly and let it sink in...
If
God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Pass
this message to seven people except you and me.
You
will receive a miracle tomorrow ( just do it)!
