*Thought for the Day: Believe

This story is dedicated to all the poeple who are disoriented in their life for some reason or the other. Cheer up!!! Bad dats only mean that your good time is about to begin!!!! Keep the faith :)
A young and successful executive was travelling down a
neighbourhood 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 boy pointed to a
spot just around 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 and sunrise every morning.
Yes my, friend - He loves you!
*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.
