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

"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 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.
