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 drift wood to protect him
> 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.
