The Brick!!!  PLEASE  Read It.     Read this today and  don't Blow it  off even     if  you are too busy!! You'll  see..   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.
