A man was going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. Suddenly a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and shouted, "That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money.Why did you do it?"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. Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair?" 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 his fancy handkerchief, dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts and slowly walked back to his car..

Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, god has to throw a brick at us. It's our choice: Listen to the whisper ... or wait for the brick!
