I got this email from a some friends in Australia. I wanted to pass it on to this group.

WHEN YOUR HUT'S ON FIRE

 The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. 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. 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?'he asked the weary man of his rescuers. 'We saw your smoke signal,' they replied.

The Moral of This 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. You may want to consider passing this on, because you never know  who feels as if their hut is on fire today.
