       Motivational Story Titled: A BROTHER LIKE THAT
       By: lastdayschristians Date: November 27, 2012, 11:40 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       A man named Paul received an
       automobile from his brother as a
       Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when
       Paul came out of his office, a street
       urchin was walking around the shining
       new car admiring it. "Is this your car, Mister?" he asked. Paul
       nodded. "My brother gave it to me for
       Christmas." The boy was astounded. "You
       mean your brother gave it to you and it
       didn't cost you nothing? Boy, I wish..." He
       hesitated. Of course Paul knew what he was going
       to wish for. He was going to wish he had
       a brother like that. But what this lad said
       jarred Paul all the way down to his heels. "I wish," the boy
       went on, "that I could be
       a brother like that." Paul looked at the boy in astonishment,
       then impulsively he added, "Would you
       like to take a ride in my automobile?" "Oh yes, I'd love that."
       After a short ride,
       the boy turned with his eyes aglow and
       said, "Mister, would you mind driving in
       front of my house?" Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew
       what the lad wanted. He wanted to show
       his neighbors that he could ride home in a
       big automobile. But Paul was wrong
       again. "Will you stop where those two
       steps are?" the boy asked. He ran up the steps. Then in a little
       while
       Paul heard him coming back, but he was
       not coming fast. He was carrying his little
       crippled brother. He sat him down on the
       bottom step, then sort of squeezed up
       against him and pointed to the car. "There she is, Buddy, just
       like I told you
       upstairs. His brother gave it to him for
       Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent.
       And someday I'm gonna give you one just
       like it...and you can see for yourself all the
       pretty things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to
       tell you about." Paul got out and lifted the lad into the
       front seat of his car. The shining-eyed
       older brother climbed in beside him and
       the three of them began a memorable
       holiday ride. That Christmas Eve, Paul learned what
       Jesus meant when he had said: "It's more
       blessed to give..."
