This has been around before but it is very powerful!!

 

The Brick--This is so powerful

 

 

 

We all can learn from this story, like they stop and smell the roses and you won't get a brick thrown at you.

 The TheBrick!!!

 

THE BRICK PLEASE  READ IT!.

 

 

Read this today and

don't delete it even 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.

 

 

Pass this message to

 

seven people except you and

 

me.

 

 

You will receive a

 

miracle tomorrow.

 

( Just do it ! )
