WORTH READING 2 May 2006

Listen or Wait

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 running
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 reversed back to the spot
from
where the brick had been thrown. He jumped out of the car, grabbed the
kid
who threw the brick and pushed him against a parked car shouting. "What
was
that all about? Just what the heck are you doing?"

Building 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!!"

"Please, mister, 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," 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? 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," 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 your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes when you
don't
have time to listen, He has to throw a "brick" at you. It's your choice:

Listen to the whisper, or wait for the brick...
