The brick a lesson -

 The brick a lesson -

   This is a touchy story - please
read………….Read this line very slowly and let
it sink in… “If God brings you to it, He will
bring you through it. “

   A young and successful executive was travelling
down a neighbourhood 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!
