A young executive was traveling down a neighborhoodstreet．He was watching for kids rushing out frombetween parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something．As his car passed，no childrenappeared．Instead，a bricksmashed into his door! He slammed on the brakes(make his car stop)．The angry driver then jumped out of the car, caughtthe nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car，shouting，“What wasthat all about and who are you?”

The young boy was apologetic．“Please，Mister．．．Please，I’m sorry…I didn’t knowwhat else to do．I threw the brick because no one else wouldstop…”

With tears dripping down his face，the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car．“It’s my brother，”he said．“He fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up．”

Now sobbing(crying silently)，the boy asked the executive，“Would you please help me get him back into hiswheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me．’’

   Moved beyond words，the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lumpin his throat．He hurriedly lifted the boy back into thewheelchair，then took out his fancy handkerchief anddabbed(a light touch) 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．Shaken up for words，the man simplywatched the little boy push his wheelchair—bound brother down the sidewalktoward their home．

   God whispers in our souls and speaks toour hearts．Sometimes when we don’t have time to listen，he has to throw a brick at us．Don’t go through life so fast that someone has tothrow a brick at you to get your attention!
