The Brick!!!

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.

Have a Great GOD Day!!!!!!!
