THE BRICK - A Parable to Live By - Wake Up America
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,
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'tknow 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!'
'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 theDay:
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 . God loves you very
much.
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.
