Hi Friends I am hitting ye'll with this little story. It's a forward, but it's really touching !!! Just go through it before you get the brick !!! Love Giju | Listen to the Whisper.....or wait for the Brick ??? | | >A young and successful executive was driving down a neighborhood street, | >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. After while, a brick | >smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and drove 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 me a lot | >of money. What did you do that for?" | | >The young boy was apologetic. "Please, mister ...please, I'm sorry...I | >didn't know what else to do," he pleaded. "I threw the brick because no | >one 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 his fancy handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh | >wounds. | | >A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. | | >"Thank you and may God bless you, Sir" 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. | | >For the man, it was a long, slow walk back to his 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 always 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: Listen to the whisper...or wait for the brick! ********************************************************************** This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
