Kurtis The Stock Boy & Brenda The Checkout Girl.



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. 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, smiled softly at him, 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, 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 who was just as cute as a
bug, Kurtis thought, then Brenda brought out her 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. 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 had done. Kurtis was not ordinary - - - he had a different
mindset.



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. 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.
Since then they have added two more kids.



So what happened to Kurtis the stock boy and Brenda the check-out girl?
Well, Mr. & Mrs. Kurt Warner now live in Arizona , where he is currently
employed as the quarterback of the National Football League Arizona
Cardinals and has his Cardinals in the hunt for a possible appearance in the
Super Bowl. Is this a surprise ending or could you have guessed that he was
not an ordinary person.



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 now, the rest of the story:



Today at church our minister mentioned that when Kurt, his wife and 7
children go out to eat he has one of his children pick out a family eating
at the restaurant. Kurt then tells the wait staff he is picking up the tab
for that family's dinner anonymously. He remembers the days he was working
nights in the grocery store and feeding his family on food stamps.



Makes it hard not to root for th e Cardinals IN THE SUPER BOWL since they won
yesterday...doesn't it?
