Something Worth Sharing.....
I posted this in "Wisdom and Innocence" but traffic there is light...
For the 20 or so family members who already read this (there) Thanks!! and Sorry!!!
Alright.. this was part of one of those...
"Send this to 7 beautiful people who you wish to bless....in the next minute and something amazing will happen"....
The message is awesome, I fear it gets overlooked because of the "SPAM" label.... I am posting it here for the message alone... the amazing thing that will happen is your spirit may smile... Do blessing get any better?
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 boy back into his 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 watch ed 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:
He sends you flowers every spring..
He sends you a sunrise every morning
Face it - He is crazy about you!
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.
Thanks for reading!!!!
Peace and Love in Christ,
