The Brick!!! Read It.
10/18/2006 1:20:01 AM

Read this today and don't delete it 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.

Hi Chris,

Your supposed to make me laugh not cry!

I do agree with you though as we all need a brick now and again, we should be thankful for all the things we take for granted!

Best Wishes

John.

Bonjour Chris,

I must say that as I was feeling a bit down, I was hoping for someone to make me laugh, but you've helped me anyway.

On Monday, a man drove into my car and caused quite a lot of damage to a door, frame, wheelarch...........  He denies having driven into me and he denies that I have any damage.  It was beginning to fatigue me.

As I said, I was hoping someone was going to make me laugh.  You didn't, but you reminded me that God's angels will support and comfort me.  I'll get through.  Neither my two year old daughter or I were hurt in the incident so I'm grateful about that.  Will just work through the rest, and let the angels guide me through.

Thanks for the brick!

Bonjournée,

Sarah
