The Hut.

A wonderful email that was sent to me today. A must read.

 

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 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. 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 the 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. Consider passing this on, because you never know who feels as if

their hut is on fire today..

 
 

 
 

 
 

Standing for what you believe in regardless of the odds against you,

and the pressure that tears at your resistance ...is Courage.

To your success.
