When Your Hut's on Fire....

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a
small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for
God to rescue him. Every day he scanned the horizon
for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he
eventually managed to build a little hut out of
driftwood to protect himself from the elements and to
store his few possessions.

One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to
find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up
to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and
everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief,
grief, and anger. He cried out, "God! How could you do
this to me?"

Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a
ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue
him! "How did you know I was here?! " asked the weary
man of his rescuers.

"We saw your smoke signal," they replied

The Moral of This Story: It's easy to get discouraged
when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose
heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in
the midst of our pain and suffering.

Remember that the next time your little hut seems to
be burning to the ground. It just may be a smoke
signal that summons the Grace of God.

P.S. You may want to consider passing this on, because
you never know who feels as if their hut is on fire
today.
