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! > . > >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.
