a story

Someone sent me this story and I thought it was wonderful...

In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4. As he approached the check-out stand a distant smile caught his eye, the new check-out girl was beautiful. Her name was Brenda and he fell in love. Next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket, and offered her a ride home. When he dropped her off, he asked if maybe he could see her again. 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 find out that the baby-sitter had called and canceled. To which Kurtis simply said, "Well, let's 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 and a son, in a wheelchair. He was born a paraplegic with Down Syndrome. Kurtis asked Brenda, "I still don't understand why the kids can't come with us?" Brenda was amazed. 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 restroom, he picked him up out of his wheelchair, took him and brought him back. The kids loved Kurtis. A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her children. Since then they have added two more kids. So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the check-out girl from the Cedar Rapids Hy Vee? Well, Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in Arizona , where he is employed as the quarterback of the National Football League Arizona Cardinals and has his Cardinals going to the Super Bowl. It should be noted that he also quarterbacked the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. He has also been the NLF's Most Valuable Player twice and the Super Bowl's Most Valuable Player. And, of course, he has publicly claimed to be a Christian and has always given the credit for his success to Jesus Christ. Now there's how you change people's image of what a Christian is!

Cool fact: I went to church with Kurt Warner one Sunday a few years ago. :)
