......Something to share......

" The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, unhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to recuse him & everyday he scanned through the horizon for help, but noneseem forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventuallly manage to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from elements, & to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his lttle hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everyhing was lost. He was stunned with grief & anger. " God, how could U do this to me!" He cried.

Early the next day, however , he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to recuse him. " How did U know I was here?" asked the weary man. " We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

It is 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 &sufering. Remember next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be a smoke signal that summons the Grace of God. For all the negative things we have say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for it :
