The burning hut

[Harleen Kaur Chadha]

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 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.   But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to hind his little hut in flames, the smile rolling                          up to the sky.   The worst had happened, everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger " God, how could you 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 rescue him, "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.   "We saw your smoke signal," they replied,   It is easy to get discouraged when things are" going badly. But we shouldn't lose heat, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and                            suffering.   Remember, next time ;your little hut is burning to the ground - it just may be a smoke signal that     summons the Grace of Almighty God.   Plz Pass this on, you never know who many be in                need of this to-day!       Subscribe to victimofparadise Email: Browse Archives at groups.google.com Harleen Kaur Chadha thesto...@gmail.com
