Hut on fire
#1
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small,
uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for GOD to rescue him, and
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. The worst had
happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief,
grief, and anger.

"GOD, how could you do this to me?" he cried.

Early the next day he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was
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.

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 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.

You May Want To Consider Passing this on, because You Never Know who
Feels Like Their Hut Is On Fire Today.

Man says that seeing is believing, but God says that believing is seeing.
