Ann Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 The Hut 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 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. 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?" he asked 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
