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
spun the Jag back to
the spot where the brick had been thrown. He jumped
out of the car,
grabbed the kid that was standing there and pushed
him up against a
parked car shouting, "What do you think you are
doing, boy?" Building
up a head of steam he went on, "That's a new car and
that brick you
threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do
it?"
"Please sir, please. I'm sorry, I didn't know what
else to do,"
pleaded the youngster. "I threw the brick because no
one else would
stop..."
Tears were dripping down the boy's chin as he pointed
around the
parked car. "It's my brother, sir," he said. "He
rolled off the curb
and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him
up." Sobbing, the
boy asked the executive, "Would you please help me
get him back into
his wheelchair, sir? 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 lifted the young man back into
the wheelchair
and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes
and cuts, checking
to see that everything was going to be okay.
"Thank you and may God bless you, sir," the grateful
child said to
him.
The man then watched the little boy push his brother
down the sidewalk
toward their home.
It was a long walk back to his Jaguar...a long slow
walk. He never did
repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him
not to 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, only a brick can get our
attention. We can
listen
to the whisper - or wait for the brick.
Please do remember me and our group out here in H'bad.
We are going to start a Jesus Youth group here in one
of the nursing school THIS sunday....Keep this
intention in mind and remember it in ur prayers.
May the Lord Help u all and keep u safe,
With Prayers,
Sanad Henry.
