BRICK : IT'S BEAUTIFUL and JUST FOR YOU !

     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.
