STORY
>> 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. But then one day,
>>
>>after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut
>>
>>in flames, the smoke 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 bad.
>>
>>But we shouldn't lose heart, 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 God.
>>
>>For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves,
>>
>>God has a positive answer for it
