Guest guest Posted July 8, 1999 Report Share Posted July 8, 1999 BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and everyday 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. Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground, it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
