God friends?

- I heard a marvelous story about the man who was the YMCA secretary in San Antonio, Texas some years ago. This man had a very wealthy brother who made a lot of money in the oil business. So, this man received a brand new car for Christmas from his brother.
He came from his office one day to the car and there was a little fellow rubbing and shining the fender. He said, “Mister, is this your car?” “Yes, son, it sure is.” “Boy, that is a pretty car.” The man said, “It is nice…my brother gave it to me for Christmas,” as he started to get in the car.
The little fellow backed up and said, “HM-m-m-m! I wish I“…and the man waited for the words to come…“I wish I had a brother like that who would give me a car for Christmas.” But the little fellow did not say that. He said, “Mister, I wish I could be a brother like that.” The man said, “what did you say?” The boy repeated, “I wish I could be a brother like that.”
The man said, “Son, would you like to go riding in this car? I would like to know you better and take you for a ride, and take you home.” The boy said, “Yes sir!” They got in the car and rode down the street; the boy showed him where to go …up an alley and to a little shack.
The boy said, “Mister, would you wait a minute…if you don’t mind…I want to come back, just wait here a minute.” He disappeared into the house. In a few minutes he came out and on his back he carried a little brother. His legs were in braces …a cripple boy.
As he got to the car he said, “Bud, you see that car…this man’s brother gave it to him. Bud, one of these days I am going to be a brother like that for you. One of these days, I promise you, I am going to take you to a doctor that can make you walk. One of these days I am going to get you everything you could need in life…because I am going to be that kind of brother to you, Bud.”
We need to be that kind of self giving person.
Got any friends like that? Do you know anyone who would respond with "I wish I could be that kind of brother, rather than I wish I had a brother like that?"
Have a great day and thanks for reading!
