>> True Story: Worth Reading! >> >> In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new >> voice came over the intercom asking for a carry out at check register 4. >> Kurtis was almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and decided >> to answer the call. As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile >> caught his eye, the new check out girl was beautiful. She was an older >> woman (maybe 26, and he was only 22) and he fell in love. >> >> Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch clock to >> find out her name. She came into the break room smile softly at him and >> took her card and punched out, then left. He looked at her card, BRENDA. >> He walked out only to see her start walking up the road. >> Next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket, and offered her a >> ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she accepted. When he dropped >her >> off, he asked if maybe he could see her again, outside of work. She simply >> said it wasn't possible. He pressed and she explained she had two >> children and she couldn't afford a baby-sitter, so he offered to pay for >the >> baby-sitter. Reluctantly she accepted his offer for a date for the >following >> Saturday. >> >> That Saturday night he arrived at her door only to have her tell him that >> she was unable to go with him. The baby-sitter had called and canceled. To >> which Kurtis simply said, "Well, lets take the kids with us." >> >> She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but >> again not taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda, brought >> him inside to meet her children. She had an older daughter who was just >> cute as a bug, Kurtis thought. Then Brenda brought out her son, in a >> wheelchair, he was born a paraplegic with Down's syndrome. Kurtis asked >> Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids can't come with us?" Brenda >> was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman with two kids, especially >> if one had disabilities. Just like her first husband and father of her >> children did. >> >> That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids, went to dinner and the >> movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him. >> When he needed to use the rest room, he picked him up out of his chair, >> took him, brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of the >> evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend >> the rest of her life with. A year later, they were married and Kurtis >> adopted both of her children and since then they have added two more kids. >> >> So what happened to the stock boy and check out girl? Well, Mr. & Mrs. >> Kurt Warner, now live in St. Louis, where he is employed by the St. >> Louis Rams and plays quarterback. Watch him play this Sunday in Super Bowl >> XXXVI. Kurt Warner is known all over the sports world as a radiant >Christian. >> >> God is so good. He loved us and adopted us when we were helpless and all >> broken up. May the world see our good works and glorify God because of us. >> >> Oh dear people, the world is hurting today and needs to see radiant >> Christians who really care for them. Let's show we love them and share the >> good news of the gospel so they can have the same joy and go to heaven >just >> as we will because someone cared enough to help us go to heaven. >> >> >> >> >> ----- End forwarded message ----- Stay strong in the Lord, Matt Raley I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the Gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from the first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."
