THE BRICK
I am VERY bored! stare
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'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.
