    With all that is going on in our lives at this time, I'm sure at times we
    All feel a little like this. Read all the way to the end.

    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 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 badly, 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.
